# Random fields as stochastic differential equations


The representation of certain random fields, especially Gaussian random fields as stochastic differential equations. This is the engine that makes filtering Gaussian processes go, and is also a natural framing for probabilistic spectral analysis.

I do not have much to say right now about this, but I am using it so watch this space.

## Creating a stationary Markov SDE with desired covariance

The Gauss-Markov Random Field approach.

Warning: I’m taking crib notes for myself here, so I lazily switch between signal processing filter terminology and probabilist termonology. I assume Bochner’s and Yaglom’s Theorems as comprehensible methods for analysing covariance kernels.

Let’s start with stationary kernels. We consider an SDE $$f: \mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$$ at stationarity. We will let its driving noise to be some Wiener process. We care concerned with deriving the parameters of the SDE such that it has a given stationary covariance function $$k$$.

If there are no zeros in the spectral density, then there are no poles in the inverse transfer function, and we can model it with an all-pole SDE. This includes all the classic Matérn functions. This is covered in , and . Worked examples starting from a discrete time formulation are given in a tutorial introduction .

More generally, (quasi-)periodic covariances have zeros and we need to find a full rational function approximation. introduces one such method. explores a sligtly different class

has a fancier method employing resonators a.k.a. filter banks, to address a concern of that atomic spectral peaks in the Fourier transform are not well approximated by rational functions.

consider a general class of realisable systems, given by $\mathcal{L}_{1} X(\mathbf{s})=\mathcal{L}_{2} \mathcal{W}(\mathbf{s})$ for some linear operators $$\mathcal{L}_{1}$$ and $$\mathcal{L}_{2} .$$

In the case that $$\mathcal{L}_{1}$$ and $$\mathcal{L}_{2}$$ commute, this may be put in hierarchical form: \begin{aligned} \mathcal{L}_{1} X_{0}(\mathbf{s})&=\mathcal{W}(\mathbf{s})\\ X(\mathbf{s})&=\mathcal{L}_{2} X_{0}(\mathbf{s}). \end{aligned}

They explain

$$X(\mathbf{s})$$ is simply $$\mathcal{L}_{2}$$ applied to the solution one would get to if $$\mathcal{L}_{2}$$ was the identity operator.

They call this a nested PDE, although AFAICT you could also say ARMA. They are particularly interested in equations of this form: $\left(\kappa^{2}-\Delta\right)^{\alpha / 2} X(\mathbf{s})=\left(b+\mathbf{B}^{\top} \nabla\right) \mathcal{W}(\mathbf{s})$

The SPDE generating this class of models is $\left(\prod_{i=1}^{n_{1}}\left(\kappa^{2}-\Delta\right)^{\alpha_{i} / 2}\right) X(\mathbf{s})=\left(\prod_{i=1}^{n_{2}}\left(b_{i}+\mathbf{B}_{i}^{\top} \nabla\right)\right) \mathcal{W}(\mathbf{s})$

They show that spectral density for such an $$X(\mathbf{s})$$ is given by $S(\mathbf{k})=\frac{\phi^{2}}{(2 \pi)^{d}} \frac{\prod_{j=1}^{n_{2}}\left(b_{j}^{2}+\mathbf{k}^{\top} \mathbf{B}_{j} \mathbf{B}_{j}^{\top} \mathbf{k}\right)}{\prod_{j=1}^{n_{1}}\left(\kappa_{j}^{2}+\|\mathbf{k}\|^{2}\right)^{\alpha_{j}}}.$

## Convolution representations

See stochastic convolution or pragmatically, assume Gaussianity and see Gaussian convolution processes.

## Covariance representation

Suppose there is a linear SDE on domain $$\mathbb{R}^d$$ whose measure has the desired covariance structure, and ignore all questions of existence an convergence for now. We define terms of the driving noise $$\varepsilon$$ and a linear differential operator $$\mathcal{L}$$ such that $\mathcal{L}f(\mathbf{x})=\varepsilon(\mathbf{x}).$

Assume there is a Green’s function for the PDE, i.e. that for any $$\mathbf{s} \in\mathbb{R}^d$$ we may find a function $$G_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x})$$ such that $\mathcal{L}G_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x})=\delta_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x}).$

The solutions of the SDE, ignoring a whole bunch of existence stuff, are then given by the convolution of these Green’s functions with the driving noise, i.e. $$f(\mathbf{x}_p) \overset{\text{sorta}}{=}\int G_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x}_p)\varepsilon(\mathbf{s}) d \mathbf{s}.$$ We use this to find the covariance of the solutions in terms of inner products of these fundamental solutions. \begin{align*} k(\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q) &=\mathbb{E}[f(\mathbf{x}_p)f(\mathbf{x}_q)] \\ &=\mathbb{E}\left[\int G_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x}_p)\varepsilon(\mathbf{s}) d \mathbf{s} \int G_\mathbf{t}(\mathbf{x}_q)\varepsilon(\mathbf{t}) d \mathbf{t} \right] \\ &=\mathbb{E}\left[\iint G_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x}_p) G_\mathbf{t}(\mathbf{x}_q) \varepsilon(\mathbf{s}) \varepsilon(\mathbf{t}) d \mathbf{t} d \mathbf{s} \right] \\ &=\iint G_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x}_p) G_\mathbf{t}(\mathbf{x}_q) \mathbb{E}[\varepsilon(\mathbf{s}) \varepsilon(\mathbf{t})] d \mathbf{t} d \mathbf{s} \\ &=\iint G_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x}_p) G_\mathbf{t}(\mathbf{x}_q) \sigma^2_\varepsilon \delta_\mathbf{s} (\mathbf{t}) d \mathbf{t} d \mathbf{s} &\text{ whiteness}\\ &=\sigma^2_\varepsilon \int G_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x}_p) G_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x}_q) d \mathbf{s}\\ &=\sigma^2_\varepsilon \langle G_\cdot(\mathbf{x}_p), G_\cdot(\mathbf{x}_q)\rangle \end{align*}

After that, the question is, given a Greens function can you produce a linear operator that realises it?

For example, the arc-cosine kernel of order $$1$$ corresponding to the ReLU is \begin{align*} k(\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q) &= \frac{\sigma_\varepsilon^2 \Vert \mathbf{x}_p \Vert \Vert \mathbf{x}_q \Vert }{2\pi} \Big( \sin |\theta| + \big(\pi - |\theta| \big) \cos\theta \Big) \end{align*} so for Green’s functions inducing this to exist we would want \begin{align} \int G_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x}_p) G_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x}_q) d \mathbf{s} &=\frac{\Vert \mathbf{x}_p \Vert \Vert \mathbf{x}_q \Vert }{2\pi} \Big( \sin |\theta| + \big(\pi - |\theta| \big) \cos\theta \Big) \end{align} For this to work we would need $$G_\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x})\propto\Vert \mathbf{x} \Vert.$$

## Input measures

Warning: this is just a dump of some notes from a paper I was writing; It does not make much sense RN. The essential idea I want to get at is considering different enveloping strategies for the SDE; Enveloping the input noise, for example

Suppose $$\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q \in \mathbb{R}^d$$. The kernel satisfies \begin{aligned} k(\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q) = \sum_{j=1}^d \frac{\partial k}{\partial x_{pj}} x_{pj}. \end{aligned} Let $$f$$ denote the Gaussian process with covariance function $$k$$ and let $$\mathcal{F}_{\mu}[f]$$ denote the Fourier transform of $$f$$ with respect to the finite measure $$\mu$$. Let the Fourier transform of $$\mu$$ be denoted $$\mathcal{F}[\mu](\mathbf{\omega})=\int e^{-i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}} \, \mu(\dd\mathbf{x})$$, so that $$\mathcal{F}_{\mu}[f]=\mathcal{F}[f(x)\partial_x \mu(x)]=\mathcal{F}[f(x)]\ast\mathcal{F} [ \mu].$$

We have \begin{aligned} \mathbb{E} | \mathcal{F}_{\mu}[f](\mathbf{\omega})|^2 &= \iint \mathbb{E}\big[ f(\mathbf{x}_p) f(\mathbf{x}_q) \big]\, e^{-i\mathbf{\omega}^\top(\mathbf{x}_p - \mathbf{x}_q)} \mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_p) \mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_q) \\ &= \iint k(\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q) \, e^{-i\mathbf{\omega}^\top(\mathbf{x}_p - \mathbf{x}_q)}\,\mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_p) \mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_q) \\ &= \iint \sum_{j=1}^d \frac{\partial k}{\partial x_{pj}} x_{pj} e^{-i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_p} \mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_p) \, e^{i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_q} \,\mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_q) \\ &= \int \sum_{j=1}^d i \frac{\partial}{\partial \omega_j} \Bigg( \int \frac{\partial k}{\partial x_{pj}} e^{-i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_p} \, \mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_p)\Bigg) e^{i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_q} \mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_q)\\ &= \mathcal{F}_{\mu}^{\mathbf{x}_q} \left[ \sum_{j=1}^d i \frac{\partial}{\partial \omega_j} \Bigg( \int \frac{\partial k}{\partial x_{pj}} e^{-i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_p} \, \mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_p)\Bigg) \right]\\ &= \mathcal{F}_{\mu}^{\mathbf{x}_q} \left[ \sum_{j=1}^d i \frac{\partial}{\partial \omega_j} \Bigg( \mathcal{F}_{\mu}^{\mathbf{x}_p}\left[ \frac{\partial k}{\partial x_{pj}} \right]\Bigg) \right].\end{aligned} Then \begin{aligned} \mathbb{E} | \mathcal{F}_{\mu}[f](\mathbf{\omega})|^2 &= \int \sum_{j=1}^d i \frac{\partial}{\partial \omega_j} \Bigg( \int \frac{\partial k}{\partial x_{pj}} e^{-i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_p} \, \mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_p) \, \Bigg) e^{i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_q}\mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_q)\\ &= -\int \sum_{j=1}^d \frac{\partial}{\partial \omega_j} \Bigg( \omega_j \int k(\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q) e^{-i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_p} \, \mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_p) \, \Bigg)e^{i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_q}\mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_q) \\ &= -\sum_{j=1}^d \int \Bigg( \int k(\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q) e^{-i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_p} \, \mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_p) \, \Bigg) e^{i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_q}\mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_q)\\ &\phantom{{}={}}-\int \Bigg( \omega_j \frac{\partial}{\partial \omega_j} \int k(\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q) e^{-i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_p} \, \mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_p) \, \Bigg) e^{i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_q}\mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_q) \\ (d+1)\mathbb{E} | \mathcal{F}_{\mu}[f](\mathbf{\omega})|^2 &= -\int \Bigg( \omega_j \frac{\partial}{\partial \omega_j} \int k(\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q) e^{-i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_p} \, \mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_p) \, \Bigg) e^{i \mathbf{\omega}^\top \mathbf{x}_q}\mu(\dd\mathbf{x}_q) \end{aligned}

### $$\mu$$ is a hypercube

We assume that $$\mu$$ is invariant with respect to permutation of coordinates. If we aren’t being silly, that means a cartesian product of intervals $$I$$, $$\mu(A):=\operatorname{Leb}(A\cap I^d).$$ Let us go with $$I=[-1,1].$$ Then \begin{aligned} \mathcal{F}[\mu](\mathbf{\omega}) &=\prod_{j=1}^d \sinc \left( \frac{\omega_j}{4\pi}\right)\\ &=\prod_{j=1}^d \frac{\sin (\omega_j/2)}{\omega}\end{aligned} Also \begin{aligned} \sinc'x &=\frac{\cos \pi x - \sinc x}{x}.\end{aligned}

TBD.

### $$\mu$$ is an isotropic Gaussian

Suppose $$\mu$$ is an isotropic Gaussian of variance $$I\sigma^2$$ so that $$\dd \mu(\mathbf{x})=(2\pi)^{-d/2}\sigma^{-d}e^{-\sigma^2\mathbf{x}^\top\mathbf{x}/2}$$ and $$\mathcal{F}[\mu]=e^{-\sigma^2\mathbf{\omega}^\top\mathbf{\omega}/2}=(2\pi)^{-d/2}\sigma^{-d}\dd \mu(\mathbf{\omega}).$$

## Without stationarity via Green’s functions

Suppose our SDE may be specified in terms of a Gaussian white driving noise with variance $$\sigma_w^2$$ and an impulse response function/Green’s function, $$g$$ such that \begin{aligned} f(x):=\int g(\mathbf{u},\mathbf{x})\dd w(\mathbf{u}).\end{aligned} We know that the kernel is an inner product kernel and therefore invariant to rotation about $$\mathbf{0},$$ i.e. for orthogonal $$Q$$, $$k(Q\mathbf{x}_p, Q\mathbf{x}_q)=k(\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q).$$ It follows that $$g(Q\mathbf{u}, Q\mathbf{x})=g(\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{x}).$$ In fact, we may write each in dot-product form, i.e. $$k(\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q)=k(\mathbf{x}_p\cdot \mathbf{x}_q)$$ and $$g(\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{x})=g(\mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{x}).$$ The kernel satisfies \begin{aligned} k(\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q) &= \mathbb{E}\left[\int g(\mathbf{u},\mathbf{x}_p)\dd w(\mathbf{u})\int g(\mathbf{v},\mathbf{x}_q)\dd w(\mathbf{v})\right]\\ &= \mathbb{E}\left[\iint g(\mathbf{u},\mathbf{x}_p) g(\mathbf{v},\mathbf{x}_q)\dd w(\mathbf{u})\dd w(\mathbf{v})\right]\\ &= \iint g(\mathbf{u},\mathbf{x}_p) g(\mathbf{v},\mathbf{x}_q) \sigma_w^2\delta(\mathbf{u},\mathbf{v})\dd \mathbf{v}\dd \mathbf{u}\\ &= \sigma_w^2\int g(\mathbf{u},\mathbf{x}_p) g(\mathbf{u},\mathbf{x}_q) \dd\mathbf{u}\end{aligned} Up to a scaling factor, the green’s function is simply the covariance kernel under the assumption that the driving noise is white.

Recalling $$k(\mathbf{x}_p, \mathbf{x}_q) = \mathbb{E}\big[ \psi(\mathbf{W}^\top \mathbf{x}_q) \psi(\mathbf{W}^\top \mathbf{x}_p) \big]= \mathbb{E}\big[ \psi(Z_p) \psi(Z_q) \big]$$ the Green’s function thus must satisfy \begin{aligned} \sigma_w^2\int g(\mathbf{u}\cdot\mathbf{x}_p) g(\mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{x}_q) \dd\mathbf{u} &= \mathbb{E}\big[ \psi(\mathbf{W}^\top \mathbf{x}_q) \psi(\mathbf{W}^\top \mathbf{x}_p) \big]\end{aligned} Now we need to see how this works for individual kernels.
