Bilinearly indexed random processes -- \emph{stationarization} of fully lifted interpolation

Abstract

Our companion paper \cite{Stojnicnflgscompyx23} introduced a very powerful \emph{fully lifted} (fl) statistical interpolating/comparison mechanism for bilinearly indexed random processes. Here, we present a particular realization of such fl mechanism that relies on a stationarization along the interpolating path concept. A collection of very fundamental relations among the interpolating parameters is uncovered, contextualized, and presented. As a nice bonus, in particular special cases, we show that the introduced machinery allows various simplifications to forms readily usable in practice. Given how many well known random structures and optimization problems critically rely on the results of the type considered here, the range of applications is pretty much unlimited. We briefly point to some of these opportunities as well.
