Recently, there was a big progress in studying sampling discretization of integral norms of elements of finite dimensional subspaces and collections of such subspaces (universal discretization). This problem is very important in applications because in order to solve a continuous problem numerically one needs to discretize it. However, till recently there was no systematic study of it.
This programme is built on a recent success of the research in sampling discretization and its connections with other areas of mathematics such as spectral properties and operator norms of submatrices, embedding of finite-dimensional subspaces, moments of marginals of high-dimensional distributions, learning theory, and sampling recovery. It concentrates on sampling discretization of integral norms of elements of finite-dimensional subspaces.
An important new ingredient of the discretization problem, desirable in practical applications, will be discussed in detail. It is motivated by applications in sparse approximation. Applying a strategy of sparse m-term approximation with respect to a given dictionary we obtain a collection of all subspaces spanned by at most m elements of the dictionary as a possible source of approximating (representing) elements. Therefore, we would like to build a discretization scheme, which works well for all such subspaces. This kind of discretization is called universal discretization. Recently, it was shown that results on sampling discretization of the square norm allow us to prove general inequalities between error of recovery in the square norm and the Kolmogorov width in the uniform norm. Similar results are obtained for the universal discretization and sparse approximation. We plan to discuss open problems. For instance,
the problem of sampling recovery in integral norms other than the square norm and its connection to
sampling discretization will be discussed.
One of the goals of this programme is to connect together ideas, methods, and results from different areas of research related to problems of discretization and recovery in the case of finite-dimensional subspaces. We plan to bring together experts from classical approximation theory, numerical integration,
probability theory and statistics, functional analysis, and other areas of contemporary research.
The current proposed programme would emphasize several new exciting and promising directions in numerical analysis, aiming to present the most recent results, and to advance the mathematical understanding of the deep interplay between numerical analysis, approximation theory, and probability

INI is a creative collaborative space which is occupied by up to fifty-five mathematical scientists at any one time (and many more when there is a workshop). Some of them may not have met before and others may not realise the relevance of other research to their own work.
INI is especially important as a forum where early-career researchers meet senior colleagues and form networks that last a lifetime.
Here you can learn about all activities past, present and future, watch live seminars and submit your own proposals for research programmes.
Within this section of the website you should find all the information required to arrange and plan your visit to the Institute. If you have any further questions, or are unable to find the information you require, please get in touch with the relevant staff member or our Reception team via our contact pages.
INI and its programme participants produce a range of publications to communicate information about activities and events, publish research outcomes, and document case studies which are written for a non-technical audience. You will find access to them all in this section.
The Isaac Newton Institute aims to maximise the benefit of its scientific programmes to the UK mathematical science community in a variety of ways.
Whether spreading research opportunities through its network of correspondents, offering summer schools to early career researchers, or hosting public-facing lectures through events such as the Cambridge Festival, there is always a great deal of activity to catch up on.
Find out about all of these endeavours in this section of the site.
There are various ways to keep up-to-date with current events and happenings at the Isaac Newton Institute. As detailed via the menu links within this section, our output covers social media streams, news articles, a regular podcast series, an online newsletter, and more detailed documents produced throughout the year.
“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”
The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.
INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
For INI’s knowledge exchange arm, please see the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
The Institute depends upon donations, as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes.
Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.
