We provide a complete and self-contained proof of spectral and dynamical localization for the one-dimensional Anderson model, starting from the positivity of the Lyapunov exponent provided by F\"urstenberg's theorem. That is, a…

The algorithmic theory of randomness is well developed when the underlying space is the set of finite or infinite sequences and the underlying probability distribution is the uniform distribution or a computable distribution. These…

Many random combinatorial objects have a component structure whose joint distribution is equal to that of a process of mutually independent random variables, conditioned on the value of a weighted sum of the variables. It is interesting to…

We study compressed sensing when the sampling vectors are chosen from the rows of a unitary matrix. In the literature, these sampling vectors are typically chosen randomly; the use of randomness has enabled major empirical and theoretical…
