Preservation of Positive-Definiteness by Bernstein Operators on the Circle

Matthew Otten, Nam Nguyen, Thomas Watts

We prove that, for every $n \geq 1$ , the degree- $n$ Bernstein operator on $[0, π]$ preserves positive-definiteness on the circle $S^{1}$ . Equivalently, if a continuous function on $[0,π]…

Dissipative continuation for ground-state preparation at chemical transition states

Thomas W. Watts, Soumya Sarkar, Daniel Collins +4

Simulating chemical reactions exhibits a pronounced unevenness in computational difficulty: while equilibrium reactant and product geometries are often tractable, transition-state…
