$\newcommand{\A}{\mathcal A}\newcommand{\Tr}{\operatorname{tr}}$For $c$ and $C$ such that $0<c<C<\infty$, let $\A_{d;c,C}$ denote the set of all symmetric positive-definite real $d\times d$ ...

Consider the following symmetric matrix (adjacency matrix): $$A=(a_{ij})_{1\leq i,j\leq n}$$ such that $a_{ij}=a_{ji}, a_{ii}=0$ and $a_{ij}=0$ for $|i-j|\geq k$ where $k\geq3$. We also have $1\leq a_{...

Is there some characterization of real-valued functions of the form $\Phi(C)=\mathbb{E}F(X)$, where $X$ has the Gaussian $N(0,C)$ distribution, on the space of symmetric positive semidefinite $n\times ...

Consider the following self-adjoint matrix $A_X = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & -i \\ i & X \end{pmatrix},$ where $i$ is the imaginary unit and $X$ is a uniformly distributed random variable on some ...

Suppose $h:\mathcal{X \times Y \times W}\rightarrow\mathcal{X}$, with $\mathcal{X,Y,W} \subseteq \mathbb R^d$, $d \in \mathbb N$ is Lipschitz in $x,y$, i.e., $$ \| h(x,y,w) - h(x',y',w) \|_2 \le L_h (...
