Let h_R denote an L ^{\infty} normalized Haar function adapted to a dyadic rectangle R contained in the unit cube in dimension d. We establish a non-trivial lower bound on the L^{\infty} norm of the `hyperbolic' sums $$ \sum _{|R|=2 ^{-n}}…

This is a comprehensive set of notes on the ArXiV paper math.CA/0609815 by Dmitry Bilyk and the author. The focus of that paper is a new inequality for sums of hyperbolic Haar functions in three variables, extending a famous result of J…

This paper is a companion to our prior paper arXiv:0705.4619 on the `Small Ball Inequality in All Dimensions.' In it, we address a more restrictive inequality, and obtain a non-trivial, explicit bound, using a single essential estimate from…

We prove an inequality related to questions in Approximation Theory, Probability Theory, and to Irregularities of Distribution. Let $h_R$ denote an $L ^{\infty}$ normalized Haar function adapted to a dyadic rectangle $R\subset [0,1] ^{3}$.…

In the current paper we present a new proof of the small ball inequality in two dimensions. More importantly, this new argument, based on an approach inspired by lacunary Fourier series, reveals the first formal connection between this…

The two-dimensional signed small ball inequality states that for all possible choices of signs, $$ \left\| \sum_{|R| = 2^{-n}}{ \varepsilon_R h_R} \right\|_{L^{\infty}} \gtrsim n,$$ where the summation runs over all dyadic rectangles in the…

This note shows that some assumption on small balls probability, frequently used in the domain of functional statistics, implies that the considered functional space is of finite dimension. To complete this result an example of L2 process…

Large deviation estimates are by now a standard tool inthe Asymptotic Convex Geometry, contrary to small deviationresults. In this note we present a novel application of a smalldeviations inequality to a problem related to the diameters of…

We consider the problem of estimating small ball probabilities $\mathbb P\{f(G) \leqslant \delta \mathbb Ef(G)\}$ for sub-additive,positively homogeneous functions $f$ with respect to the Gaussian measure. We establish estimates that depend…

We suggest a tight inequality for norms in $d$-dimensional space $l_p $ which has simple formulation but appears hard to prove. We give a proof for $d=3$ and provide a detailed numerical check for $d\leq 200$ confirming the conjecture. We…

The normalised volume measure on the $\ell_p^n$ unit ball ($1\leq p\leq 2$) satisfies the following isoperimetric inequality: the boundary measure of a set of measure $a$ is at least $cn^{1/p}\tilde{a}\log^{1-1/p}(1/\tilde{a})$, where…

The P\'al inequality is a classical result which asserts that among all planar convex sets of given width the equilateral triangle is the one of minimal area. In this paper we prove three quantitative versions of this inequality, by…

Error bounds are central objects in optimization theory and its applications. They were for a long time restricted only to the theory before becoming over the course of time a field of itself. This paper is devoted to the study of error…

We re-confirm, for the case of the unit p-ball of R^n, one of recent conjectures of G.Kuperberg on centrally symmetric convex bodies.This conjecture was very recently confirmrd for this particular case by D.A.Gutierrez using polygamma…

We prove the macroscopic cousins of three conjectures: 1) a conjectural bound of the simplicial volume of a Riemannian manifold in the presence of a lower scalar curvature bound, 2) the conjecture that rationally essential manifolds do not…

P\'al's classical isominwidth inequality states that the regular triangle has minimal area among plane convex bodies of minimal width $w$. A similar result is the Blaschke--Lebesgue inequality that states that Reuleaux triangles minimize…

We give the sharp lower bound of the volume product of three dimensional convex bodies which are invariant under a discrete subgroup of $O(3)$ in several cases. We also characterize the convex bodies with the minimal volume product in each…

In this paper we present a self-contained combinatorial proof of the lower bound theorem for normal pseudomanifolds, including a treatment of the cases of equality in this theorem. We also discuss McMullen and Walkup's generalised lower…

In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet problem of the three-dimensional Laplace equation in the unit ball with a shrinking hole. The problem typically arises from homogenization problems in domains perforated with tiny holes. We give an…

Let $\xi$ be a real random variable with mean zero and variance one and $A={a_1,...,a_n}$ be a multi-set in $\R^d$. The random sum $$S_A := a_1 \xi_1 + ... + a_n \xi_n $$ where $\xi_i$ are iid copies of $\xi$ is of fundamental importance in…
