We study the problem of conditional expectations in free random variables and provide closed formulas for the conditional expectation of resolvents of arbitrary non-commutative polynomials in free random variables onto the subalgebra of an…
This is an introduction to some of the most probabilistic aspects of free probability theory.
We present a new method for constructing a confidence interval for the mean of a bounded random variable from samples of the random variable. We conjecture that the confidence interval has guaranteed coverage, i.e., that it contains the…
In this note, we provide a simple derivation of expressions for the restricted partition function and its polynomial part. Our proof relies on elementary algebra on rational functions and a lemma that expresses the polynomial part as an…
We present uniqueness results for enclosing ellipses of minimal area in the hyperbolic plane. Uniqueness can be guaranteed if the minimizers are sought among all ellipses with prescribed axes or center. In the general case, we present a…
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…
In this paper, we try to further demonstrate that the models of random CSP instances proposed by [Xu and Li, 2000; 2003] are of theoretical and practical interest. Indeed, these models, called RB and RD, present several nice features.…
We describe a standard form for the elements in the universal field of fractions of free associative algebras (over a commutative field). It is a special version of the normal form provided by Cohn and Reutenauer and enables the use of…
This note presents an analytic technique for proving the linear independence of certain small subsets of real numbers over the rational numbers. The applications of this test produce simple linear independence proofs for the subsets of…
In this paper will be introduced large, probably complete family of complex base systems, which are 'proper' - for each point of the space there is a representation which is unique for all but some zero measure set. The condition defining…
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis we demonstrate the existence of smooth numbers in certain short intervals.
In this paper we derive an estimate on the number of local maxima of the free boundary of some variational inequalities with pointwise gradient constraints. This also gives an estimate on the number of connected components of the free…
We reformulate base point free theorems. Our formulation is flexible and has some important applications. One of the main purposes of this paper is to prove a generalization of the base point free theorem in Fukuda's paper: On numerically…
We present a variational framework for studying the existence and regularity of solutions to elliptic free boundary problems that do not necessarily minimize energy. As applications, we obtain mountain pass solutions of critical and…
We propose a method to determine the smoothness of sufficiently flat solutions of one phase Hele-Shaw problems. The novelty is the observation that under a flatness assumption the free boundary --represented by the hodograph transform of…
We explore partitions that lie in the intersection of several sets of classical interest: partitions with parts indivisible by $m$, appearing fewer than $m$ times, or differing by less than $m$. We find results on their behavior and…
Variational methods are employed in situations where exact Bayesian inference becomes intractable due to the difficulty in performing certain integrals. Typically, variational methods postulate a tractable posterior and formulate a lower…
The aim of this paper is to exhibit a necessary and sufficient condition of optimality for functionals depending on fractional integrals and derivatives, on indefinite integrals and on presence of time delay. We exemplify with one example,…
This paper proposes new tests of conditional independence of two random variables given a single-index involving an unknown finite-dimensional parameter. The tests employ Rosenblatt transforms and are shown to be distribution-free while…
In this work, we give a new method to compute the Hilbert basis of the semigroup of certain positive divisors supported on the exceptional divisor of a normal surface singularity. Our approach is purely combinatorial which permits to avoid…
