We prove rigidity results for a class of non-uniformly hyperbolic holomorphic maps. If a holomorphic Collet-Eckmann map$f$is topologically conjugate to a holomorphic map$g$, then the conjugacy can be improved to be quasiconformal. If there is only one critical point in the repeller, then$g$is Collet-Eckmann, too.

Mean field games (MFG) and mean field control (MFC) are critical classes of multi-agent models for efficient analysis of massive populations of interacting agents. Their areas of application span topics in economics, finance, game theory, industrial engineering, crowd motion, and more. In this paper, we provide a flexible machine learning framework for the numerical solution of potential MFG and MFC models. State of-the-art numerical methods for solving such problems utilize spatial discretization that leads to a curse-of-dimensionality. We approximately solve high-dimensional problems by combining Lagrangian and Eulerian viewpoints and leveraging recent advances from machine learning. More precisely, we work with a Lagrangian formulation of the problem and enforce the underlying Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation that is derived from the Eulerian formulation. Finally, a tailored neural network parameterization of the MFG/MFC solution helps us avoid any spatial discretization. Our numerical results include the approximate solution of 100-dimensional instances of optimal transport and crowd motion problems on a standard work station and a validation using a Eulerian solver in two dimensions. These results open the door to much-anticipated applications of MFG and MFC models that were beyond reach with existing numerical methods.

In the research of computer vision and machine perception, 3D objects are usually represented by 2-manifold triangular meshes M. In this paper, we present practical and efficient algorithms to construct iso-contours, bisectors, and Voronoi diagrams of point sites onM, based on an exact geodesic metric. Compared to euclidean metric spaces, the Voronoi diagrams onMexhibit many special properties that fail all of the existing euclidean Voronoi algorithms. To provide practical algorithms for constructing geodesicmetric- based Voronoi diagrams onM, this paper studies the analytic structure of iso-contours, bisectors, and Voronoi diagrams onM. After a necessary preprocessing of model M, practical algorithms are proposed for quickly obtaining full information about iso-contours, bisectors, and Voronoi diagrams on M. The complexity of the construction algorithms is also analyzed. Finally, three interesting applications—surface sampling and reconstruction, 3D skeleton extraction, and point pattern analysis—are presented that show the potential power of the proposed algorithms in pattern analysis.
