Matrix Discrepancy for Representations of Finite Groups

Afonso S. Bandeira, Helmut Bölcskei

We prove the group version of the Matrix Spencer conjecture. For every finite group , there exist signs such that $$\left\| \sum_{g\in G} \varepsilon_…

Entropy and Minimax Risk of Hypoelliptic Pseudodifferential Operators

Thomas Allard, Helmut Bölcskei

We characterize the entropy and minimax risk of a broad class of compact pseudodifferential operators. Under suitable decay and regularity conditions on the symbol, we combine a We…

Metric Entropy of Ellipsoids in Banach Spaces: Techniques and Precise Asymptotics

Thomas Allard, Helmut Bölcskei

We develop new techniques for computing the metric entropy of ellipsoids -- with polynomially decaying semi-axes -- in Banach spaces. Besides leading to a unified and comprehensive…

Metric-Entropy Limits on the Approximation of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems

Yang Pan, Clemens Hutter, Helmut Bölcskei

This paper is concerned with fundamental limits on the approximation of nonlinear dynamical systems. Specifically, we show that recurrent neural networks (RNNs) can approximate non…

Entropy of Compact Operators with Applications to Landau-Pollak-Slepian Theory and Sobolev Spaces

Thomas Allard, Helmut Bölcskei

We derive a precise general relation between the entropy of a compact operator and its eigenvalues. It is then shown how this result along with the underlying philosophy can be app…

Metric Entropy of Analytic Function Classes via Ellipsoidal Methods

Thomas Allard, Helmut Bölcskei

We present a systematic methodology for characterizing the metric entropy of infinite-dimensional ellipsoids with exponentially decaying semi-axes. The approach does not rely on th…

Affine symmetries and neural network identifiability

Verner Vlačić, Helmut Bölcskei

We address the following question of neural network identifiability: Suppose we are given a function and a nonlinearity . Can we specify the arch…

Necessary Conditions for K/2 Degrees of Freedom

Recep Gül, Helmut Bölcskei, Shlomo Shamai

Stotz et al., 2016, reported a sufficient (injectivity) condition for each user in a K-user single-antenna constant interference channel to achieve 1/2 degree of freedom. The prese…

Convergence of a Strang splitting finite element discretization for the Schrödinger-Poisson equation

Winfried Auzinger, Thomas Kassebacher, Othmar Koch +1

Operator splitting methods combined with finite element spatial discretizations are studied for time-dependent nonlinear Schrödinger equations. In particular, the Schrödinger-Poiss…

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks Based on Semi-Discrete Frames

Thomas Wiatowski, Helmut Bölcskei

Deep convolutional neural networks have led to breakthrough results in practical feature extraction applications. The mathematical analysis of these networks was pioneered by Malla…

Density Criteria for the Identification of Linear Time-Varying Systems

Céline Aubel, Helmut Bölcskei

This paper addresses the problem of identifying a linear time-varying (LTV) system characterized by a (possibly infinite) discrete set of delays and Doppler shifts. We prove that s…

Information-Theoretic Limits of Matrix Completion

Erwin Riegler, David Stotz, Helmut Bölcskei

We propose an information-theoretic framework for matrix completion. The theory goes beyond the low-rank structure and applies to general matrices of "low description complexity".…

Explicit and almost sure conditions for K/2 degrees of freedom

David Stotz, Helmut Bölcskei

It is well known that in K-user constant single-antenna interference channels K/2 degrees of freedom (DoF) can be achieved for almost all channel matrices. Explicit conditions on t…

Almost Lossless Analog Signal Separation

David Stotz, Erwin Riegler, Helmut Bölcskei

We propose an information-theoretic framework for analog signal separation. Specifically, we consider the problem of recovering two analog signals from a noiseless sum of linear me…

Degrees of freedom in vector interference channels

David Stotz, Helmut Bölcskei

This paper continues the Wu-Shamai-Verdu program [3] on characterizing the degrees of freedom (DoF) of interference channels (ICs) through Renyi information dimension. Specifically…

Capacity Pre-Log of Noncoherent SIMO Channels via Hironaka's Theorem

Veniamin I. Morgenshtern, Erwin Riegler, Wei Yang +4

We find the capacity pre-log of a temporally correlated Rayleigh block-fading SIMO channel in the noncoherent setting. It is well known that for block-length L and rank of the chan…

On the Sensitivity of Continuous-Time Noncoherent Fading Channel Capacity

Giuseppe Durisi, Veniamin I. Morgenshtern, Helmut Bölcskei

The noncoherent capacity of stationary discrete-time fading channels is known to be very sensitive to the fine details of the channel model. More specifically, the measure of the s…
