TY - JOUR A1 - Somogyvári, Márk A1 - Reich, Sebastian T1 - Convergence tests for transdimensional Markov chains in geoscience imaging JF - Mathematical geosciences : the official journal of the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences N2 - Classic inversion methods adjust a model with a predefined number of parameters to the observed data. With transdimensional inversion algorithms such as the reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (rjMCMC), it is possible to vary this number during the inversion and to interpret the observations in a more flexible way. Geoscience imaging applications use this behaviour to automatically adjust model resolution to the inhomogeneities of the investigated system, while keeping the model parameters on an optimal level. The rjMCMC algorithm produces an ensemble as result, a set of model realizations, which together represent the posterior probability distribution of the investigated problem. The realizations are evolved via sequential updates from a randomly chosen initial solution and converge toward the target posterior distribution of the inverse problem. Up to a point in the chain, the realizations may be strongly biased by the initial model, and must be discarded from the final ensemble. With convergence assessment techniques, this point in the chain can be identified. Transdimensional MCMC methods produce ensembles that are not suitable for classic convergence assessment techniques because of the changes in parameter numbers. To overcome this hurdle, three solutions are introduced to convert model realizations to a common dimensionality while maintaining the statistical characteristics of the ensemble. A scalar, a vector and a matrix representation for models is presented, inferred from tomographic subsurface investigations, and three classic convergence assessment techniques are applied on them. It is shown that appropriately chosen scalar conversions of the models could retain similar statistical ensemble properties as geologic projections created by rasterization.

I. Mal'tsev and B. H. Neumann (cf. [18, 19]). If G is an ordered group and F is a skew field, the set F((G)) of formal power series over F in G with well-ordered support forms a skew field into which the group ring F[G] can be embedded. Unfortunately it is not suficient that G is left-ordered since F((G)) is only an F-vector space in this case as there is no natural way to define a multiplication on F((G)). One way to extend the original idea onto left-ordered groups is to examine the endomorphism ring of F((G)) as explored by N. I. Dubrovin (cf. [5, 6]). It is possible to embed any crossed product ring F[G; η, σ] into the endomorphism ring of F((G)) such that each non-zero element of F[G; η, σ] defines an automorphism of F((G)) (cf. [5, 10]). Thus, the rational closure of F[G; η, σ] in the endomorphism ring of F((G)), which we will call the Dubrovin-ring of F[G; η, σ], is a potential candidate for a skew field of fractions of F[G; η, σ]. The methods of N. I. Dubrovin allowed to show that specific classes of groups can be embedded into a skew field. For example, N. I. Dubrovin contrived some special criteria, which are applicable on the universal covering group of SL(2, R). These methods have also been explored by J. Gräter and R. P. Sperner (cf. [10]) as well as N.H. Halimi and T. Ito (cf. [11]). Furthermore, it is of interest to know if skew fields of fractions are unique. For example, left and right Ore domains have unique skew fields of fractions (cf. [2]). This is not the general case as for example the free group with 2 generators can be embedded into non-isomorphic skew fields of fractions (cf. [12]). It seems likely that Ore domains are the most general case for which unique skew fields of fractions exist. One approach to gain uniqueness is to restrict the search to skew fields of fractions with additional properties. I. Hughes has defined skew fields of fractions of crossed product rings F[G; η, σ] with locally indicable G which fulfill a special condition. These are called Hughes-free skew fields of fractions and I. Hughes has proven that they are unique if they exist [13, 14]. This thesis will connect the ideas of N. I. Dubrovin and I. Hughes. The first chapter contains the basic terminology and concepts used in this thesis. We present methods provided by N. I. Dubrovin such as the complexity of elements in rational closures and special properties of endomorphisms of the vector space of formal power series F((G)). To combine the ideas of N.I. Dubrovin and I. Hughes we introduce Conradian left-ordered groups of maximal rank and examine their connection to locally indicable groups. Furthermore we provide notations for crossed product rings, skew fields of fractions as well as Dubrovin-rings and prove some technical statements which are used in later parts. The second chapter focuses on Hughes-free skew fields of fractions and their connection to Dubrovin-rings. For that purpose we introduce series representations to interpret elements of Hughes-free skew fields of fractions as skew formal Laurent series. This 1 Introduction allows us to prove that for Conradian left-ordered groups G of maximal rank the statement "F[G; η, σ] has a Hughes-free skew field of fractions" implies "The Dubrovin ring of F [G; η, σ] is a skew field". We will also prove the reverse and apply the results to give a new prove of Theorem 1 in [13]. Furthermore we will show how to extend injective ring homomorphisms of some crossed product rings onto their Hughes-free skew fields of fractions. At last we will be able to answer the open question whether Hughes--free skew fields are strongly Hughes-free (cf. [17, page 53]). N2 - In dieser Arbeit beschäftigen wir uns mit Quotientenschiefkörpern von verschränkten Produkten F [G; η, σ], wobei G eine Gruppe und F ein Schiefkörper ist. Eine Methode Gruppen in Schiefkörper einzubetten stammt von A. I. Mal’tsev und B. H. Neumann. Ist G eine beidseitig geordnete Gruppe, so lässt sich die Menge der formalen Potenzreihen F ((G)) über F in G mit wohlgeordnetem Träger als Schiefkörper interpretieren. In diesen lässt sich jedes verschränkte Produkt F [G; η, σ] einbetten. Möchte man die Klasse der einzubettenden Gruppen erweitern, so bieten sich links–geordnete Gruppen an. In diesem Fall hat F ((G)) keine natürliche Ringstruktur, aber man kann nutzen, dass F ((G)) ein rechter F–Vektorraum ist und seinen Endomorphismenring untersuchen. Jedes Verschränkte Produkt F [G; η, σ] lässt sich derart in den Endomorphismenring einbetten, dass die zugehörigen von Null verschiedenen Endomorphismen Automorphismen sind. Der rationale Abschluss von F [G; η, σ] in End(F ((G))), den wir Dubrovinring von F [G; η, σ] nennen, ist somit ein potentieller Quotientenschiefkörper von F [G; η, σ]. Neben der Existenz von Quotientenschiefkörpern ist deren Eindeutigkeit (bis auf Isomorphie) von Interesse. Im Gegensatz zum kommutativen Fall sind Quotientenschiefkörper im Allgemeinen nicht eindeutig. So lässt sich beispielsweise die freie Gruppe mit zwei Erzeugenden in nicht–isomorphe Quotientenschiefkörper einbetten. Eine große Klasse an Ringen, die eindeutige Quotientenschiefkörper besitzen, sind Ore–Bereiche. Vermutlich lässt sich diese Klasse nicht erweitern, ohne zusätzliche Eigenschaften der Quotientenschiefkörper zu verlangen. Eine solche Eigenschaft, im Folgenden Hughes–frei genannt, wurde von I. Hughes vorgeschlagen. Er konnte beweisen, dass Hughes–freie Quotientenschiefkörper eindeutig sind, wenn sie existieren. In dieser Arbeit verbinden wir die Ideen von I. Hughes und N. I. Dubrovin. Wir zeigen, dass die Elemente von Hughes–freien Quotientenschiefkörpern als formale schiefe Laurent–Reihen dargestellt werden können und dass diese Darstellungen in gewisser Weise eindeutig sind. Dieses Ergebnis nutzen wir um zu beweisen, dass die Aussagen “F [G; η, σ] besitzt einen Hughes–freien Quotientenschiefkörper” und “Der Dubrovinring von F [G; η, σ] ist ein Schiefkörper” äquivalent sind, wenn G eine links–geordnete Gruppe von Conrad–Typ mit maximalem Rang ist. Wir stellen den nötigen Begriffsapparat zur Verfügung. Dieser basiert vorwiegend auf den Arbeiten von N. I. Dubrovin und umfasst spezielle Eigenschaften der Endomorphismen von F ((G)) sowie die Komplexität von Elementen in rationalen Abschlüssen. Des Weiteren gehen wir auf links–geordnete Gruppen von Conrad–Typ ein und untersuchen ihren Zusammenhang mit lokal indizierbaren Gruppen, die eine grundlegende Rolle für Hughes–freie Quotientenschiefkörper spielen. Wir werden zeigen können, dass Dubrovinringe, die Schiefkörper sind, stark Hughes–freie Quotientenschiefkörper sind, was die offene Frage beantwortet, ob Hughes–freie Quotientenschiefkörper stark Hughes–frei sind. Außerdem werden wir einen alternativen Beweis der Eindeutigkeit von Hughes–freien Quotientenschiefkörpern präsentieren und die Fortsetzbarkeit von Automorphismen eines verschränkten Produkts auf Hughes–freie Quotientenschiefkörper untersuchen.

This provides us with a general and flexible framework to study quantum field theories defined on spacetimes with extra geometric structures such as bundles, connections and spin structures. Using right Kan extensions, we can assign to any such theory an ordinary quantum field theory defined on the category of spacetimes and we shall clarify under which conditions it satisfies the axioms of locally covariant quantum field theory. The same constructions can be performed in a homotopy theoretic framework by using homotopy right Kan extensions, which allows us to obtain first toy-models of homotopical quantum field theories resembling some aspects of gauge theories.

Viewing renormalisation in the framework of Connes and Kreimer as the algebraic Birkhoff factorisation of characters on a Hopf algebra with values in a Rota-Baxter algebra, we build locality variants of these algebraic structures, leading to a locality variant of the algebraic Birkhoff factorisation. This provides an algebraic formulation of the conservation of locality while renormalising. As an application in the context of the Euler-Maclaurin formula on lattice cones, we renormalise the exponential generating function which sums over the lattice points in a lattice cone. As a consequence, for a suitable multivariate regularisation, renormalisation from the algebraic Birkhoff factorisation amounts to composition by a projection onto holomorphic multivariate germs.

Although the discrete Helmholtz problem has been studied from different perspectives, to the best of our knowledge, there is no conditioning analysis for it. We aim to fill this gap in the literature. We propose a novel method in 1D to observe the near-zero eigenvalues of a symmetric indefinite matrix. Standard classification of ill-conditioning based on the matrix condition number is not true for the discrete Helmholtz problem. We relate the ill-conditioning of the discretization of the Helmholtz problem with the condition number of the matrix. We carry out analytical conditioning analysis in 1D and extend our observations to 2D with numerical observations. We examine several discretizations. We find different regions in which the condition number of the problem shows different characteristics. We also explain the general behavior of the solutions in these regions.

Firstly, the study of pointwise power decay rates almost everywhere of the quadratic tilt-excess is completed by establishing the precise decay rate for two-dimensional integral varifolds of locally bounded first variation. In order to obtain the exact decay rate, a coercive estimate involving a height-excess quantity measured in Orlicz spaces is established. Moreover, counter-examples to pointwise power decay rates almost everywhere of the super-quadratic tilt-excess are obtained. These examples are optimal in terms of the dimension of the varifold and the exponent of the integrability condition in most cases, for example if the varifold is not two-dimensional. These examples also demonstrate that within the scale of Lebesgue spaces no local higher integrability of the second fundamental form, of an at least two-dimensional curvature varifold, may be deduced from boundedness of its generalised mean curvature vector. Amongst the tools are Cartesian products of curvature varifolds.

While this competition is challenging for many merchants, it also provides plenty of opportunities, e.g., by allowing them to automatically adjust prices in order to react to changing market situations. For practitioners however, testing automated pricing strategies is time-consuming and potentially hazardously when done in production. Researchers, on the other side, struggle to study how pricing strategies interact under heavy competition. As a consequence, we built an open continuous time framework to simulate dynamic pricing competition called Price Wars. The microservice-based architecture provides a scalable platform for large competitions with dozens of merchants and a large random stream of consumers. Our platform stores each event in a distributed log. This allows to provide different performance measures enabling users to compare profit and revenue of various repricing strategies in real-time. For researchers, price trajectories are shown which ease evaluating mutual price reactions of competing strategies. Furthermore, merchants can access historical marketplace data and apply machine learning. By providing a set of customizable, artificial merchants, users can easily simulate both simple rule-based strategies as well as sophisticated data-driven strategies using demand learning to optimize their pricing strategies.

The common feature of the three algorithms is the gain times error formula to implement the update step (to account for conditioning due to the observations) in the filter. In contrast to the commonly used sequential Monte Carlo methods, the EnKBF and FPF avoid the resampling of the particles in the importance sampling update step. Moreover, the feedback control structure provides for error correction potentially leading to smaller simulation variance and improved stability properties. The paper also discusses the issue of nonuniqueness of the filter update formula and formulates a novel approximation algorithm based on ideas from optimal transport and coupling of measures. Performance of this and other algorithms is illustrated for a numerical example.
