Simultaneous Pointwise Majorization for Mixed Tail Processes with Applications in Gaussian Chaos and Ergodic Diffusions

The paper introduces a new simultaneous pointwise majorization framework for Banach‑valued stochastic processes that possess finite‑metric mixed‑tail increments. By assuming an anchored process satisfies a tail bound involving multiple pseudo‑metrics and orders, the authors derive a high‑probability envelope that holds uniformly over the index set, with terms expressed through integrals of log‑covering numbers and distance functions. This result generalizes single‑metric sub‑Weibull bounds and, in the Gaussian case, improves existing pointwise upper bounds by removing extraneous logarithmic factors.

Solving Stochastic Fixed-Point Equations with High Probability

arXiv:2607. 09097v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study stochastic fixed-point equations $\mathbf{T}(\mathbf{x}) = \mathbf{x}$ over normed spaces $(\mathcal{E}, \|\cdot\|)$, where the operator $\mathbf{T}$ is nonexpansive or contractive and is accessed only through unbiased stochastic evaluations with bounded second central moment.

Optimal Neural Network Approximation via Empirical Least Squares with Deterministic Samples

arXiv:2608. 06687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a rigorous theory of discrete residual least-squares approximation for elliptic spectral equations $\mathfrak L_\beta u=f$ using linearized ReLU$^k$ neural networks on the sphere, where $\mathfrak L_\beta$ is a positive elliptic spectral multiplier of order $\beta$.

Scaling Limits of Constant-Stepsize SGD at Flat Minima

arXiv:2607. 16384v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For stochastic gradient descent (SGD) with a constant stepsize $\alpha$, the invariant law of the iterates, centered at a minimizer, describes the behavior of the algorithm over long time horizons.
