We establish a number of uncertainty inequalities for the additive group of a finite affine plane, showing that for $p$ prime, a nonzero function $f\colon\mathbb F_p^2\to\mathbb C$ and its Fourier transform $\hat f\colon\widehat{\mathbb…
This paper is devoted to the $L^2$ norm error estimate of the Adini element for the biharmonic equation. Surprisingly, a lower bound is established which proves that the $ L^2$ norm convergence rate can not be higher than that in the energy…
We give improved lower bounds on the size of Kakeya and Nikodym sets over $\mathbb{F}_q^3$. We also propose a natural conjecture on the minimum number of points in the union of a not-too-flat set of lines in $\mathbb{F}_q^3$, and show that…
In the early 1990's, Avram and Taqqu showed that regularly varying moving average processes with all coefficients nonnegative and the tail index strictly between 0 and 2 satisfy functional limit theorem. They also conjectured that an…
Rank-constrained matrix problems appear frequently across science and engineering. The convergence analysis of iterative algorithms developed for these problems often hinges on local error bounds, which correlate the distance to the…
Motivated by an open problem posed by J.P. Hespanha, we extend the notion of Barabanov norm and extremal trajectory to classes of switching signals that are not closed under concatenation. We use these tools to prove that the finiteness of…
Recent results of several authors have led to constructions of parallelotopes which are bounded remainder sets for totally irrational toral rotations. In this brief note we explain, in retrospect, how some of these results can easily be…
In this article, we give a counter-example to Lemma 12 of the article "On Operations and Linear Extensions of Well Partially Ordered Sets" by Maciej Malicki and Aleksander Rutkowski.
We prove an inhomogeneous analogue of W. M. Schmidt's (1969) theorem on Hausdorff dimension of the set of badly approximable systems of linear forms. The proof is based on ideas and methods from the theory of dynamical systems, in…
We give computable bounds on the rate of convergence of the transition probabilities to the stationary distribution for a certain class of geometrically ergodic Markov chains. Our results are different from earlier estimates of Meyn and…
This is a sequel to my paper "The Octagonal PET I: Renormalization and Hyperbolic Symmetry". In this paper we use the renormalization scheme found in the first paper to classify the limit sets of the systems according to their topology. The…
In the note an error in Low and Lapsley's article ("Optimization Flow Control, I: Basic Algorithm and Convergence", IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, 7(6), pp. 861-874, 1999) is pointed out. Because of this error the proof of the Theorem…
We correct a simple error in Percolation on random Johnson-Mehl tessellations and related models, Probability Theory and Related Fields 140 (2008), 417-468. (See also arXiv:math/0610716)
The almost sure convergence of ergodic averages in Birkhoff's pointwise ergodic theorem is known to fail in the finitely additive setting. We introduce a natural reformulation of almost sure convergence suitable for finitely additive…
Following K. Mahler's suggestion for further research on intrinsic approximation on the Cantor ternary set, we obtain a Dirichlet type theorem for the limit sets of rational iterated function systems. We further investigate the behavior of…
Using various results from extremal set theory (interpreted in the language of additive combinatorics), we prove an asyptotically sharp version of Freiman's theorem in F_2^n: if A in F_2^n is a set for which |A + A| <= K|A| then A is…
The proximinality of certain subspaces of spaces of bounded affine functions is proved. The results presented here are some linear versions of an old result due to Mazur. For the proofs we use some sandwich theorems of Fenchel's duality…
A theorem of Kurzweil ('55) on inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation states that if $\theta$ is an irrational number, then the following are equivalent: (A) for every decreasing positive function $\psi$ such that $\sum_{q = 1}^\infty…
A recent paper [M. H. Lee, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 190601 (2007)] has called attention to the fact that irreversibility is a broader concept than ergodicity, and that therefore the Khinchin theorem [A. I. Khinchin, Mathematical Foundations of…
We extend Berge's Maximum Theorem to allow for incomplete preferences. We first provide a simple version of the Maximum Theorem for convex feasible sets and a fixed preference. Then, we show that if, in addition to the traditional…
