A simple approach to the chain rule for gradient systems

Abstrakt
For constructing solutions for gradient systems, one usually approximates the problem, e.g. via the minimizing movement scheme, and then passes to the limit. By this way one obtains an energy-dissipation inequality and has to prove that this inequality is indeed an equality. For this one has to establish a chain rule for the energy functional within the class of curves satisfying only the natural dissipation and slope bounds. We present a simple approach that is based on the classical duality pairing in Lp spaces instead of the often used metric approach in measure spaces. We show that this approach allows the treatment of a reasonably large class of nonlinear diffusion equations. Moreover, it is flexible enough to be generalized to systems of diffusion equations.

Abstrakt
We study theoretically a Stochastic Localization based algorithm introduced by Grenioux et al. (https://proceedings.mlr.press/v235/grenioux24a.html) that aims at sampling highly multi-modal probability measures.

Penalized MLE in high-dimensional logistic regression
mehr ... Veranstaltungsort
Weierstraß-Institut, Mohrenstr. 39, 10117 Berlin, Erdgeschoss, Erhard-Schmidt-Hörsaal
Abstrakt
This talk focuses on a popular logistic regression model in the case of a large or even infinite parameter dimension, limited sample size, and possible model misspecification. Recent studies highlighted new effects and phenomena appearing in highly or overparametrized regimes; see e.g. Bartlett et al. (2020), Sur and Candès (2019); Candès and Sur (2020), Bach (2024), Montanari et al. (2025), among others. The properties of the random design in high-dimensional regimes give rise to significant challenges for statistical analysis and inference. Existing strategies to mitigate these issues include tailored gradient-based methods with appropriate step-size choices and stopping criteria, as well as alternative regularization techniques for the logistic loss. In line with Cheng and Montanari (2022), this work examines a simple ridge-penalized formulation in possibly infinite-dimensional settings. The central question addressed is how to select the ridge tuning parameter while preserving standard accuracy guarantees and enabling valid inference.

From regularity theory for elliptic equations to invariance principle for random walks
mehr ... Veranstaltungsort
Weierstraß-Institut, Mohrenstr. 39, 10117 Berlin, Erdgeschoss, Erhard-Schmidt-Hörsaal
Abstrakt
This talk addresses regularity for elliptic equations under merely averaged ellipticity conditions and establishes sharp criteria ensuring local boundedness and Harnack inequalities. These results extend the classical De Giorgi--Nash--Moser theory and yield new applications to variational integrals with (p, q)-growth. In the second part, the same regularity ideas are applied to the random conductance model, leading--under optimal moment assumptions--to a quenched invariance principle and a local limit theorem. The results highlight a close connection between regularity theory and stochastic homogenization.

A weak-strong uniqueness principle for the Mullins--Sekerka equation
mehr ... Veranstaltungsort
Weierstraß-Institut, Mohrenstr. 39, 10117 Berlin, Erdgeschoss, Erhard-Schmidt-Hörsaal
Abstrakt
We establish a weak-strong uniqueness principle for the two-phase Mullins--Sekerka equation in ambient dimension d = 2 and 3: As long as a classical solution to the evolution problem exists, any weak De Giorgi type varifold solution (see for this notion the recent work with Stinson, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 248, 8, 2024) must coincide with it. In particular, in the absence of topology changes such weak solutions do not introduce a mechanism for (unphysical) non-uniqueness. We also derive a stability estimate with respect to changes in the data. I will explain our method which is based on the notion of relative entropies for interface evolution problems, a reduction argument to a perturbative setting, and a stability analysis in this perturbative regime relying crucially on the gradient flow structure of the Mullins--Sekerka equation. This is joint work with Julian Fischer, Tim Laux and Theresa M. Simon.
