We determine the limiting distribution of the logarithm of the number of satisfying assignments in the random $k$-uniform hypergraph 2-colouring problem in a certain density regime for all $k\ge 3$ . As a direct consequence we obtain that…

We study random multidimensional assignment problems where the costs decompose into the sum of independent random variables. In particular, in three dimensions, we assume that the costs $W_{i,j,k}$ satisfy…

We consider a model of random permutations of the sites of the cubic lattice. Permutations are weighted so that sites are preferably sent onto neighbors. We present numerical evidence for the occurrence of a transition to a phase with…

We review the ideas of how random matrix theory has to be properly applied to quantum physics; particularly we focus on how the spectrum has to be properly prepared and the random matrix correctly identified before the random matrix and the…

The decision problems of the existence of a Hamiltonian cycle or of a Hamiltonian path in a given graph, and of the existence of a truth assignment satisfying a given Boolean formula $C$, are well-known {\it NP}-complete problems. Here we…

We focus upon the relationship between Hamiltonian cycle products and efficient vectors for a reciprocal matrix $A$, to more deeply understand the latter. This facilitates a new description of the set of efficient vectors (as a union of…

We study Hamilton cycles and perfect matchings in a uniform attachment graph. In this random graph, vertices are added sequentially, and when a vertex $t$ is created, it makes $k$ independent and uniform choices from $\{1,\dots,t-1\}$ and…

Kaczmarz method is one popular iterative method for solving inverse problems, especially in computed tomography. Recently, it was established that a randomized version of the method enjoys an exponential convergence for well-posed problems,…

In this paper, we study the distribution of the number of occurrences of the simplest frame pattern, called the $\mu$ pattern, in $n$-cycles. Given an $n$-cycle $C$, we say that a pair $\langle i,j \rangle$ matches the $\mu$ pattern if $i <…

Consider the random process that starts with $n$ vertices and no edges, where the edges of $K_n$ are added one at a time in a uniformly chosen random order $e_1, e_2,\ldots, e_{\binom{n}{2}}$. Let $T$ be the earliest time at which $e_1$…

This paper studies optimal scheduling and resource allocation under allowable over-scheduling. Formulating an optimisation problem where over-scheduling is embedded, we derive an optimal solution that can be implemented by means of a new…

We study the problem of scheduling asynchronous round-robin tournaments. We consider three measures of a schedule that concern the quality and fairness of a tournament. We show that the schedule generated by the well-known "circle design"…

Each connected component of a mapping $\{1,2,...,n\}\rightarrow\{1,2,...,n\}$ contains a unique cycle. The largest such component can be studied probabilistically via either a delay differential equation or an inverse Laplace transform. The…

Physical systems exhibiting stochastic or chaotic behavior are often amenable to treatment by random matrix models. In deciding on a good choice of model, random matrix physics is constrained and guided by symmetry considerations. The…

Given a simplicial complex with weights on its simplices, and a nontrivial cycle on it, we are interested in finding the cycle with minimal weight which is homologous to the given one. Assuming that the homology is defined with integer…

We develop a novel unified randomized block-coordinate primal-dual algorithm to solve a class of nonsmooth constrained convex optimization problems, which covers different existing variants and model settings from the literature. We prove…

This note concerns a class of matrix Riccati equations associated with stochastic linear-quadratic optimal control problems with indefinite state and control weighting costs. A novel sufficient condition of solvability of such equations is…

We introduce two generalizations of synchronizability to automata with transitions weighted in an arbitrary semiring K=(K,+,*,0,1). (or equivalently, to finite sets of matrices in K^nxn.) Let us call a matrix A location-synchronizing if…

Consider a clique of n nodes, where in each synchronous round each pair of nodes can exchange O(log n) bits. We provide deterministic constant-time solutions for two problems in this model. The first is a routing problem where each node is…

Stochastic matching is the stochastic version of the well-known matching problem, which consists in maximizing the rewards of a matching under a set of probability distributions associated with the nodes and edges. In most stochastic…
