Mercury's chaotic secular evolution as a subdiffusive process

Dorian S. Abbot, Robert J. Webber, David M. Hernandez +2

Mercury's orbit can destabilize, generally resulting in a collision with either Venus or the Sun. Chaotic evolution can cause g1 to decrease to the approximately constant value of…

Robust, randomized preconditioning for kernel ridge regression

Mateo Díaz, Ethan N. Epperly, Zachary Frangella +2

We investigate preconditioned conjugate gradient methods for kernel ridge regression (KRR) problems with a moderate to large number of data points (). We dev…

Localized covariance estimation: A Bayesian perspective

Robert J. Webber, Matthias Morzfeld

A major problem in numerical weather prediction (NWP) is the estimation of high-dimensional covariance matrices from a small number of samples. Maximum likelihood estimators cannot…

XTrace: Making the most of every sample in stochastic trace estimation

Ethan N. Epperly, Joel A. Tropp, Robert J. Webber

The implicit trace estimation problem asks for an approximation of the trace of a square matrix, accessed via matrix-vector products (matvecs). This paper designs new randomized al…

Understanding and eliminating spurious modes in variational Monte Carlo using collective variables

Huan Zhang, Robert J. Webber, Michael Lindsey +2

The use of neural network parametrizations to represent the ground state in variational Monte Carlo (VMC) calculations has generated intense interest in recent years. However, as w…
