Mathematical background ### Simplicial complexes and Vietoris–Rips filtration Given a finite metric space $(X, d)$ and a scale $\varepsilon \geq 0$, the **Vietoris–Rips complex** is the abstract simplicial complex $$ \mathrm{VR}_\varepsilon(X) \;=\; \big\{ \sigma \subseteq X : \mathrm{diam}(\sigma) \leq \varepsilon \big\}. $$ It is monotone: $\varepsilon_1 \leq \varepsilon_2 \Rightarrow \mathrm{VR}_{\varepsilon_1}(X) \subseteq \mathrm{VR}_{\varepsilon_2}(X)$, producing a one-parameter family — a **filtration** — that interpolates between the discrete cloud and a single contractible blob. ### Persistent homology Applying simplicial homology $H_k$ to the filtration yields a **persistence module**, a one-parameter family of vector spaces and linear maps. The structure theorem of Crawley-Boevey (2015) gives a unique decomposition into **interval modules**, each interval $[b, d)$ being a topological feature of dimension $k$ that *is born* at scale $b$ and *dies* at scale $d$. The collection of all $(b, d)$ for fixed $k$ is the **persistence diagram** $D_k(X) \subset \{(b, d) : b \leq d \leq \infty\}$. Long intervals encode robust topology; intervals close to the diagonal are noise. ### Betti numbers as ground truth For a closed manifold $M$, the Betti numbers $\beta_k = \dim H_k(M;\mathbb{Q})$ count $k$-dimensional holes. Canonical examples used below: | Space | $\beta_0$ | $\beta_1$ | $\beta_2$ | Euler $\chi$ | |-------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|--------------| | Point | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | Circle $S^1$ | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | 2-Sphere $S^2$ | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | | 2-Torus $T^2$ | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | | Two clusters | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | A correctly sampled persistence diagram should expose **exactly $\beta_k$ infinite-lifetime intervals** in dimension $k$, plus short noise intervals. ### Stability theorem (Cohen-Steiner, Edelsbrunner, Harer 2007) For two finite metric spaces $X, Y$ with Hausdorff distance $d_H(X, Y)$, $$ d_B(D_k(X), D_k(Y)) \;\leq\; d_H(X, Y), $$ where the **bottleneck distance** is $$ d_B(D, D') \;=\; \inf_{\eta : D \to D'} \, \sup_{x \in D}\, \| x - \eta(x) \|_\infty, $$ with bijections $\eta$ allowed to use the diagonal $\Delta = \{(t,t)\}$ as a reservoir at cost $(d-b)/2$ per matched point.

The associated **Cauchy problem** $$ D^\alpha h(t) \;=\; F(t, h(t)), \qquad h(0) = h_0, $$ is equivalent to the Volterra integral equation $$ h(t) \;=\; h_0 + \frac{1}{\Gamma(\alpha)} \int_0^t (t - s)^{\alpha - 1}\, F(s, h(s))\, ds. $$ ### Mittag-Leffler closed form For the linear test problem $D^\alpha h = -h$, $h(0) = 1$, the unique solution is the **Mittag-Leffler function** of order $\alpha$: $$ E_\alpha(z) \;=\; \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{z^k}{\Gamma(\alpha k + 1)}, \qquad h(t) = E_\alpha(-t^\alpha). $$ It generalises the exponential ($\alpha = 1 \Rightarrow E_1(z) = e^z$) and exhibits a **slow algebraic tail** $E_\alpha(-t^\alpha) \sim \frac{t^{-\alpha}}{\Gamma(1 - \alpha)}$ as $t \to \infty$ — the signature of *sub-exponential relaxation*. ### Adams predictor–corrector (Diethelm–Ford–Freed 2002) On a uniform grid $t_n = n \Delta t$, the predictor $$ h^P_{n+1} \;=\; h_0 + \frac{\Delta t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha + 1)} \sum_{k=0}^n \big[ (n + 1 - k)^\alpha - (n - k)^\alpha \big]\, F(t_k, h_k), $$ and the corrector $$ h_{n+1} \;=\; h_0 + \frac{\Delta t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha + 2)} \Big[ F(t_{n+1}, h^P_{n+1}) + \sum_{k=0}^n a_{n+1,k}\, F(t_k, h_k) \Big], $$ deliver an order $\min(2, 1 + \alpha)$ approximation.

Markovian lift of a rough kernel ### Why approximate by a sum of exponentials? The Volterra evolution $$ X_t \;=\; \int_0^t K(t - s)\, dW_s $$ is *not Markov* whenever $K$ is not exponential — the entire history of $W$ must be carried forward at each step. The **Markovian lift** of Abi Jaber– El Euch (2019) replaces $K$ by a finite sum $$ K(t) \;\approx\; \sum_{j=1}^M c_j\, e^{-\gamma_j t}, $$ so that each component $Y^j_t = \int_0^t e^{-\gamma_j (t - s)} dW_s$ is the solution of a one-dimensional OU SDE.

"""), md(r"""## 1. Mathematical background ### The Pardoux–Peng equation Let $W = (W_t)_{t \in [0, T]}$ be a Brownian motion and $\mathcal{F}_t$ the augmented natural filtration. A **backward stochastic differential equation** (BSDE) seeks an adapted pair $(Y, Z)$ such that $$ - dY_t \;=\; f(t, Y_t, Z_t)\, dt - Z_t\, dW_t, \qquad Y_T = \xi, $$ equivalently in integral form $$ Y_t \;=\; \xi + \int_t^T f(s, Y_s, Z_s)\, ds - \int_t^T Z_s\, dW_s. $$ The **driver** $f$ is allowed to depend on the unknown solution. ### Existence and uniqueness (Pardoux–Peng 1990) If $f$ is uniformly Lipschitz in $(y, z)$ and $\xi \in L^2(\mathcal{F}_T)$, there exists a unique pair $(Y, Z) \in \mathcal{S}^2 \times \mathcal{H}^2$ solving the BSDE. *Proof sketch.* The map $$ \Phi : (y, z) \;\longmapsto\; \mathbb{E}\!\left[\xi + \int_\cdot^T f(s, y_s, z_s)\, ds \;\middle|\; \mathcal{F}_\cdot\right] $$ is a contraction on $\mathcal{S}^2 \times \mathcal{H}^2$ in the equivalent norm $\| \cdot \|_\beta = \big(\int_0^T e^{\beta t} \mathbb{E}[\,\cdot\,]^2\, dt\big)^{1/2}$ for $\beta$ large enough. Banach–Picard then yields a unique fixed point. $\square$ ### Linear BSDE — closed form via Girsanov For coefficients $a, b, c$ deterministic and constant, the linear BSDE $$ - dY_t \;=\; (a Y_t + b Z_t + c)\, dt - Z_t\, dW_t, \qquad Y_T = \xi, $$ admits the **explicit representation** $$ Y_t \;=\; \mathbb{E}^{\mathbb{Q}}\!\left[ \xi\, e^{a (T - t)} + c \int_t^T e^{a (s - t)}\, ds \;\middle|\; \mathcal{F}_t \right], $$ where $\mathbb{Q}$ is the equivalent measure with density $\frac{d \mathbb{Q}}{d\mathbb{P}} = \mathcal{E}(b W)_T$ (Girsanov shift). When $b = c = 0$ and $\xi$ is deterministic, we obtain the deterministic exponential $$ \boxed{\; Y_t \;=\; \xi\, e^{a (T - t)} \;}. $$ ### Crank–Nicolson θ-scheme For a uniform grid $t_n = n \Delta t$ with $n = 0, \dots, N$, the θ-scheme $$ Y_n - Y_{n+1} \;=\; \big[\theta f(t_n, Y_n, Z_n) + (1 - \theta) f(t_{n+1}, Y_{n+1}, Z_{n+1})\big]\, \Delta t - Z_n \Delta W_n, $$ is implicit in $Y_n$ for $\theta > 0$.

Mathematical background ### McKean–Vlasov SDE A **McKean–Vlasov** stochastic differential equation is one whose coefficients depend on the law of the unknown process itself: $$ dX_t \;=\; b(X_t, \mu_t)\, dt + \sigma(X_t, \mu_t)\, dW_t, \qquad \mu_t = \mathrm{Law}(X_t). $$ It models systems where each individual responds not only to its own state but also to the **distribution** of the entire population — the cleanest setting for *mean-field* physics, biology and economics. ### Mean-reverting prototype The primitive `mean_reverting_mckean_vlasov` solves the canonical case $$ dX_t \;=\; \theta\, (\bar X_t - X_t)\, dt + \sigma\, dW_t, \qquad \bar X_t = \mathbb{E}[X_t], $$ implemented through the $N$-particle interacting system $$ dX_t^{i, N} \;=\; \theta\, \bigg( \tfrac{1}{N} \sum_j X_t^{j, N} - X_t^{i, N} \bigg)\, dt + \sigma\, dW_t^i. $$ ### Closed-form analytic ground truths * **Mean conservation.** Summing over $i$, the diffusion term averages to a zero-mean random variable, so $\mathbb{E}[\bar X_t] = \bar X_0$ for all $t$ — the empirical mean is a **martingale**. * **Stationary variance.** Treating each centred particle $d^i_t = X^i_t - \bar X_t$ as an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, the long-time variance is $$ \mathrm{Var}_\infty \;=\; \frac{\sigma^2 (1 - 1/N)}{2 \theta}, $$ with the $1 - 1/N$ correction arising from the empirical-mean subtraction. ### Sznitman propagation of chaos (1991) Let $X_t^{i, N}$ denote the $N$-particle system above and $\bar X_t^i$ a family of $N$ i.i.d. copies of the limit McKean–Vlasov solution. Under Lipschitz coefficients, $$ \sup_{t \in [0, T]} \mathbb{E}\!\left[ |X_t^{i, N} - \bar X_t^i|^2 \right] \;\leq\; \frac{C(T)}{N}. $$ In Wasserstein-2 distance the empirical measure $\mu_t^N := \tfrac{1}{N} \sum \delta_{X_t^{i,N}}$ satisfies $$ \mathbb{E}\!\left[ W_2^2(\mu_t^N, \mu_t) \right] \;\leq\; \frac{C(T)}{N^{2/(d+4)}}, $$ reducing to $\mathcal{O}(N^{-1/2})$ in dimension one. ### Nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation The law $\mu_t$ admits a density $p(t, x)$ that satisfies the **non-linear** Fokker–Planck equation $$ \partial_t p \;=\; \tfrac{\sigma^2}{2}\, \partial_{xx} p - \theta\, \partial_x \!\big[ (\bar x_t - x)\, p \big], \qquad \bar x_t = \int x\, p(t, x)\, dx. $$ For the mean-reverting kernel above and a Gaussian initial law $\mathcal{N}(\bar x_0, V_0)$, the solution remains Gaussian with mean $\bar x_t = \bar x_0$ and variance $$ V(t) \;=\; e^{-2 \theta t} V_0 + \frac{\sigma^2}{2 \theta}\, \big(1 - e^{-2 \theta t}\big), \qquad V(\infty) = \frac{\sigma^2}{2 \theta}. $$ """), md(r"""## 2.
