arXiv:2605. 03542v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The dual norm characterisation of weak solutions of second-order linear elliptic partial differential equations is mathematically natural but computationally intractable: evaluating the $H^{-1}$ norm of the residual requires a supremum over an infinite-dimensional test space.

The paper investigates how many linear samples are needed to learn Lipschitz operators under Gaussian measures. It establishes both lower and upper bounds on the Hermite polynomial approximation error and shows that the minimal worst‑case error cannot converge algebraically with the number of samples. However, if the covariance operator of the Gaussian measure decays rapidly, convergence rates arbitrarily close to any algebraic rate can be achieved.

arXiv:2607. 27000v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optimization in non-convex neural network models is strongly influenced by the geometry of the solution space: sparse, isolated, point-like clusters are typically algorithmically inaccessible, whereas wide and flat regions can be found efficiently despite being relatively rare.

The paper introduces a Projected Riemannian Gradient Descent (RGD) algorithm for computing the Bures‑Wasserstein barycenter of positive definite matrices, achieving dimension‑independent linear convergence at unit step size. It resolves a previous dichotomy by showing that clipping eigenvalues to a fixed interval yields a closed‑form, non‑expansive projection in the BW metric, allowing the algorithm to match the empirical speed of unit‑step RGD while maintaining theoretical guarantees. The method also extends to the invariant matrix projection problem, providing a unified dimension‑independent analysis.
