Notebooks 07 (topology), 08 (volterra), 10 (bsde) and 14 (mckean_vlasov)
now follow the same pedagogical template as the optimal-control tutorial:
- Theorem / proof markdown PRE-cells stating the equation pivot, with
derivations inspired by the latex coursework on path integrals,
Volterra-Malliavin and math-physics-finance lectures.
- Numerical experiment cells with analytic ground-truth checks
(Mittag-Leffler, Feynman-Kac, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck variance asymptote).
- Markdown POST-cells stating the expected result, how to read each
figure, and the conclusion linking back to the API.
- Concrete real-world applications:
* 07 topology -> physics: persistent H1 detects the hole of a thin
annulus vs a filled disk.
* 08 volterra -> sub-diffusion fractional Fokker-Planck moments.
* 10 bsde -> heat equation expectation as a linear BSDE.
* 14 mckean_vlasov -> opinion dynamics on a population.
All cells executed end-to-end with the rhftlab kernel; outputs (figures,
prints, ground-truth errors) are embedded as proof of work.
Includes the deterministic builder script _build_enriched_v2.py used to
regenerate the four notebooks.

Topological Data Analysis (TDA) extracts qualitative shape information from a

finite point cloud sampled out of an underlying manifold or dynamical state.
|

The three CPU-only Rust primitives exposed by `optimizr` are demonstrated on

ground truths:
|

|

1. `vietoris_rips_filtration(points, max_dim, max_eps)` — combinatorial complex.
|

2. `persistent_homology(points, max_dim, max_eps)` — birth/death intervals of

topological features.

3. `bottleneck_distance(diagram_a, diagram_b)` — metric on persistence

diagrams with the celebrated stability theorem.
|

The notebook is structured like

|
||
|
||
### 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. This is the **fundamental
|
||
robustness statement** of TDA: small perturbations of the data give small
|
||
perturbations of the diagram.

|
||
|
||
### Setup
|
||
|
||
Consider a 2D point cloud sampled from an **annulus**
|
||
$\mathcal{A}_{\rho} = \{ x \in \mathbb{R}^2 : \rho \leq \| x \| \leq 1 \}$
|
||
with inner radius $\rho \in [0, 1]$.
|
||
|
||
* For $\rho$ close to $1$ the annulus degenerates to a **thin ring**, the
|
||
archetypal carrier of one essential topological loop — $\beta_1 = 1$.
|
||
* For $\rho \to 0$ the annulus fills into a **disk**, contractible, with
|
||
$\beta_1 = 0$.
|
||
|
||
The transition $\rho \to 0$ is therefore a genuine **topological
|
||
phase transition**, of the kind that arises for vortex cores in Type-II
|
||
superconductors (Abrikosov 1957), magnetic flux tubes in MHD, or for the
|
||
defects of a 2D nematic liquid crystal (Kosterlitz–Thouless 1973). The
|
||
*total* $H_1$ persistence is a model-free order parameter for the
|
||
opening/closing of the central hole.

|
||
|
||
### Definitions
|
||
|
||
For $\alpha \in (0, 1)$ and a sufficiently regular function $h : [0, T] \to
|
||
\mathbb{R}$, the **Caputo fractional derivative** is
|
||
|
||
$$
|
||
D^\alpha h(t) \;=\; \frac{1}{\Gamma(1 - \alpha)} \int_0^t \frac{h'(s)}{(t - s)^\alpha}\, ds.
|
||
$$
|
||
|
||
It interpolates between the ordinary derivative ($\alpha \to 1$) and a
|
||
non-local memory operator. 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. The history sum
|
||
explicitly encodes the **memory** intrinsic to fractional dynamics, hence
|
||
the higher per-step cost compared to a Markovian Runge–Kutta integrator.

|
||
|
||
### 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. Together they form a
|
||
**finite-dimensional Markovian state** approximating the original
|
||
non-Markovian process.
|
||
|
||
### Target: the Riemann–Liouville rough kernel
|
||
|
||
We test the primitive on the kernel of the rough Bergomi process,
|
||
|
||
$$
|
||
K(t) \;=\; \frac{t^{H - 1/2}}{\Gamma(H + 1/2)}, \qquad H \in (0, 1/2),
|
||
$$
|
||
|
||
with $H = 0.1$. The Hurst index $H$ controls the *roughness* of the paths;
|
||
choosing $H \approx 0.1$ produces sample functions whose Hölder regularity
|
||
matches statistically observed asset-volatility roughness (Gatheral–
|
||
Jaisson–Rosenbaum 2018) — but the same kernel governs anomalous diffusion
|
||
in disordered media and viscoelastic creep in soft matter.

|
||
|
||
### 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 $\theta > 0$. The choice $\theta = 1/2$ yields the
|
||
Crank–Nicolson rule, of order $\mathcal{O}(\Delta t^2)$ for ODE-like linear
|
||
problems. For the discretisation of $Z$, the primitive uses the **discrete
|
||
Clark–Ocone identity** $Z_n = \mathbb{E}[Y_{n+1} \Delta W_n / \Delta t \mid
|
||
\mathcal{F}_n]$.

|
||
|
||
### 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}.
