Dempster-Shafer theory is widely applied in uncertainty modelling and knowledge reasoning due to its ability of expressing uncertain information. A distance between two basic probability assignments(BPAs) presents a measure of performance…
We consider the problem of approaching real numbers with rational numbers with prime denominator and with a single numerator allowed for each denominator. We obtain basic results, both probabilistic and deterministic, draw connections to…
There are abundant results on Diophantine approximation over fields of positive characteristic (see the survey papers [13, 25]), but there is very little information about simultaneous approximation. In this paper, we develop a technique of…
We show that affine coordinate subspaces of dimension at least two in Euclidean space are of Khintchine type for divergence. For affine coordinate subspaces of dimension one, we prove a result which depends on the dual Diophantine type of…
We answer a question raised by Alam and Ghosh concerning an error term for a spiralling result in Diophantine approximation by rationals in a number field. The proof relies on a generalisation of Rogers' Mean Value Theorem to algebraic…
For any finite point set in $D$-dimensional space equipped with the 1-norm, we present random linear embeddings to $k$-dimensional space, with a new metric, having the following properties. For any pair of points from the point set that are…
We use the theory of arithmetic quotients of the Bruhat-Tits tree developed by Serre and others to obtain Dirichlet-style theorems for Diophantine approximation on global function fields. This approach allows us to find sharp values for the…
This note states a conjecture for Nevanlinna theory or diophantine approximation, with a sheaf of ideals in place of the normal crossings divisor. This is done by using a correction term involving a multiplier ideal sheaf. This new…
In 1926 Khintchine introduced a topological argument proving the existence of uncountably many nontrivial singular linear forms of $n \geq 2$ variables. Throughout the years, this argument has been extensively modified and generalized. Most…
The Hausdorff dimension of an exceptional set of periods for which convergence of a formal solution to an inhomogeneous wave equation in n spatial and one temporal dimension is problematic, is determined along with conditions which the…
Recently, Ghosh \& Haynes \cite{HG} proved a Khintchine-type result for the problem of Diophantine approximation in certain projective spaces. In this note we complement their result by observing that a Jarn\'{\i}k-type result also holds…
Fix an irrational number $\theta$. For a real number $\tau >0$, consider the numbers $y$ satisfying that for all large number $Q$, there exists an integer $1\leq n\leq Q$, such that $\|n\theta-y\|<Q^{-\tau}$, where $\|\cdot\|$ is the…
In 1984, Kurt Mahler posed the following fundamental question: How well can irrationals in the Cantor set be approximated by rationals in the Cantor set? Towards development of such a theory, we prove a Dirichlet-type theorem for this…
In this paper we consider a multiparametric version of Wolfgang Schmidt and Leonard Summerer's parametric geometry of numbers. We apply this approach in two settings: the first one concerns weighted Diophantine approximation, the second one…
Divergence functions are interesting discrepancy measures. Even though they are not true distances, we can use them to measure how separated two points are. Curiously enough, when they are applied to random variables, they lead to a notion…
Classical probability theory supports probability measures, assigning a fixed positive real value to each event, these measures are far from satisfactory in formulating real-life occurrences. The main innovation of this paper is the…
With the aim of representing subsets of Banach spaces as an infinite series using Lipschitz functions, we study a variant of metric frames which we call Lipschitz p-approximate Schauder frames (Lipschitz p-ASFs). We characterize Lipschitz…
The problem of quantization of measures looks for best approximations of probability measures on a metric space by discrete measures supported on $N$ points, where the error of approximation is measured with respect to the Wasserstein…
The main objective of this paper is to prove a Khintchine type theorem for divergence for linear Diophantine approximation on non-degenerate manifolds, which completes earlier results for convergence.
We study some problems in metric Diophantine approximation over local fields of positive characteristic.
