We study the first mixed volume for nonconvex sets and apply the results to limits of discrete isoperimetric problems. Let $ M,N \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. Define $D_N (M)=\lim_{\epsilon \downarrow 0} \frac{|M+\epsilon N|-|M|}{\epsilon}$…
We investigate the problem of characterizing the optimal variance proxy for sub-Gaussian random variables,whose moment-generating function exhibits bounded growth at infinity. We apply a general characterization method to discrete random…
An independent dominating set of the simple graph $G=(V,E)$ is a vertex subset that is both dominating and independent in $G$. The independent domination polynomial of a graph $G$ is the polynomial $D_i(G,x)=\sum_{A} x^{|A|}$, summed over…
We present a new approach to the design of D-optimal experiments with multivariate polynomial regressions on compact semi-algebraic design spaces. We apply the moment-sum-of-squares hierarchy of semidefinite programming problems to solve…
In this paper, we establish joint extreme values of Dirichlet (L)-functions and their logarithmic derivatives using the resonance method. Our results extend previous work of Aistleitner et al. (2019) and Yang (2023).
A multiple Gauss sum is a complete multiple exponential sum twisted by Dirichlet characters. We prove a new bound for multiple Gauss sums and, as an application, improve previous results in the Birch--Goldbach problem. Let $F_1, \ldots, F_R…
We prove a new mean-value theorem for Dirichlet polynomials with coefficients given by the von Mangoldt function. We then use our theorem to derive new estimates for certain exponential sums over primes. The latter have applications to…
We study the asymptotic behavior of discrete measures on S^{n-1} that are induced by radially projecting point masses concentrated on the integral lattice-points within dilates of a compact body D, for various classes of D. The results…
We consider the performance of the Depth First Search (DFS) algorithm on the random graph $G\left(n,\frac{1+\epsilon}{n}\right)$, $\epsilon>0$ a small constant. Recently, Enriquez, Faraud and M\'enard [2] proved that the stack $U$ of the…
Motivated by recently discovered relations between logarithmically correlated Gaussian processes and characteristic polynomials of large random $N \times N$ matrices $H$ from the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE), we consider the problem of…
Finding the $r\times r$ submatrix of maximum volume of a matrix $A\in\mathbb R^{n\times n}$ is an NP hard problem that arises in a variety of applications. We propose a new greedy algorithm of cost $\mathcal O(n)$, for the case $A$…
Let $X_1,X_2,...$ be independent variables, each having a normal distribution with negative mean $-\beta<0$ and variance 1. We consider the partial sums $S_n=X_1+...+X_n$, with $S_0=0$, and refer to the process $\{S_n:n\geq0\}$ as the…
The classical Remez inequality bounds the maximum of the absolute value of a real polynomial $P$ of degree $d$ on $[-1,1]$ through the maximum of its absolute value on any subset $Z\subset [-1,1]$ of positive Lebesgue measure. Extensions to…
We show that for an $n\times n$ random symmetric matrix $A_n$, whose entries on and above the diagonal are independent copies of a sub-Gaussian random variable $\xi$ with mean $0$ and variance $1$, \[\mathbb{P}[s_n(A_n) \le…
The subset sum problem (SSP) can be briefly stated as: given a target integer $E$ and a set $A$ containing $n$ positive integer $a_j$, find a subset of $A$ summing to $E$. The \textit{density} $d$ of an SSP instance is defined by the ratio…
We prove an optimal estimate on the smallest singular value of a random subgaussian matrix, valid for all fixed dimensions. For an N by n matrix A with independent and identically distributed subgaussian entries, the smallest singular value…
We derive sharp upper and lower bounds for the pointwise concentration function of the maximum statistic of $d$ identically distributed real-valued random variables. Our first main result places no restrictions either on the common marginal…
In this paper we introduce the theory of derivatives of moments and (moment) functionals to represent moment functionals by Gaussian mixtures, characteristic functions of polytopes, and simple functions of polytopes. We study, among other…
The hierarchical Dirichlet process is a discrete random measure used as a prior in Bayesian nonparametrics and motivated by the study of groups of clustered data. We study the asymptotic behavior of the power sum symmetric polynomials for…
