Times Square sampling: an adaptive algorithm for free energy estimation
Cristian Predescu, Michael Snarski, Avi Robinson-Mosher +3
Estimating free energy differences, an important problem in computational drug discovery and in a wide range of other application areas, commonly involves a computationally intensi…
Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations for Chemical Reaction Networks
Michael Snarski
This is an expository note on large deviations, Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations, and the role of the Freidlin-Wentzell quasipotential in Chemical Reaction Networks (CRNs).…
Efficient hyperparameter optimization by way of PAC-Bayes bound minimization
John J. Cherian, Andrew G. Taube, Robert T. McGibbon +6
Identifying optimal values for a high-dimensional set of hyperparameters is a problem that has received growing attention given its importance to large-scale machine learning appli…
Infinite Swapping using IID Samples
Paul Dupuis, Guo-Jhen Wu, Michael Snarski
We propose a new method for estimating rare event probabilities when independent samples are available. It is assumed that the underlying probability measures satisfy a large devia…
Periodic Solutions of a Singularly Perturbed Delay Differential Equation With Two State-Dependent Delays
A. R. Humphries, D. A. Bernucci, R. Calleja +2
Periodic orbits and associated bifurcations of singularly perturbed state-dependent delay differential equations (DDEs) are studied when the profiles of the periodic orbits contain…
Analysis of a variational model for nematic shells
Antonio Segatti, Michael Snarski, Marco Veneroni
We analyze an elastic surface energy which was recently introduced by G. Napoli and L.Vergori to model thin films of nematic liquid crystals. We show how a novel approach that take…
Equilibrium configurations of nematic liquid crystals on a torus
Antonio Segatti, Michael Snarski, Marco Veneroni
The topology and the geometry of a surface play a fundamental role in determining the equilibrium configurations of thin films of liquid crystals. We propose here a theoretical ana…
