Vecchia approximation

Vecchia approximation is a Gaussian processes approximation technique originally developed by , a statistician at United States Geological Survey. It is one of the earliest attempts to use Gaussian processes in high-dimensional settings. It has since been extensively generalized giving rise to many contemporary approximations. (Wikipedia).

Applications of analysis to fractional differential equations

I show how to apply theorems from analysis to fractional differential equations. The ideas feature the Arzela-Ascoli theorem and Weierstrass' approximation theorem, leading to a new approach for solvability of certain fractional differential equations. When do fractional differential equ

Vector form of multivariable quadratic approximation

This is the more general form of a quadratic approximation for a scalar-valued multivariable function. It is analogous to a quadratic Taylor polynomial in the single-variable world.
