We derive a consistency result, in the $L_1$-sense, for incomplete U-statistics in the non-standard case where the kernel at hand has infinite second-order moments. Assuming that the kernel has finite moments of order $p(\geq 1)$, we obtain…
A second-order regularity theory is developed for solutions to a class of quasilinear elliptic equations in divergence form, including the $p$-Laplace equation, with merely square-integrable right-hand side. Our results amount to the…
We study the expected $ L_2-$discrepancy under two classes of partitions, explicit and exact formulas are derived respectively. These results attain better expected $L_2-$discrepancy formulas than jittered sampling.
Points in the unit cube with low discrepancy can be constructed using algebra or, more recently, by direct computational optimization of a criterion. The usual $L_\infty$ star discrepancy is a poor criterion for this because it is…
We derive a deterministic, non-asymptotic upper bound on the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence of the flow-matching distribution approximation. In particular, if the $L_2$ flow-matching loss is bounded by $\epsilon^2 > 0$, then the KL…
The $l_2$ flattening lemma of Johnson and Lindenstrauss [JL84] is a powerful tool for dimension reduction. It has been conjectured that the target dimension bounds can be refined and bounded in terms of the intrinsic dimensionality of the…
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…
Optimal lower bounds for discrepancy in Besov spaces with dominating mixed smoothness are known from the work of Triebel. Hinrichs proved upper bounds in the plane. In this work we systematically analyse the problem, starting with a survey…
Lie symmetries of systems of second-order linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients are exhaustively described over both the complex and real fields. The exact lower and upper bounds for the dimensions of the maximal…
It is shown that the discrepancy function for point distributions on a torus is expressed by an explicit formula in terms of its mean values on sub-tori. As an application of this formula, a simple proof of a theorem of Lev on the…
We introduce a class of convex equivolume partitions. Expected $L_2-$discrepancy are discussed under these partitions. There are two main results. First, under this kind of partitions, we generate random point sets with smaller expected…
We prove a sampling discretization theorem for the square norm of functions from a finite dimensional subspace satisfying Nikol'skii's inequality with an upper bound on the number of sampling points of the order of the dimension of the…
Geometric discrepancies are standard measures to quantify the irregularity of distributions. They are an important notion in numerical integration. One of the most important discrepancy notions is the so-called \emph{star discrepancy}.…
We study the $L_p$ discrepancy of digital NUT sequences which are an important sub-class of digital $(0,1)$-sequences in the sense of Niederreiter. The main result is a lower bound for certain sub-classes of digital NUT sequences.
We study the problem of discrete distribution estimation in KL divergence and provide concentration bounds for the Laplace estimator. We show that the deviation from mean scales as $\sqrt{k}/n$ when $n \ge k$, improving upon the best prior…
The $L_p$-discrepancy is a quantitative measure for the irregularity of distribution of an $N$-element point set in the $d$-dimensional unit cube, which is closely related to the worst-case error of quasi-Monte Carlo algorithms for…
This document offers a concise introduction to the mathematical theory and practical application of the Hausdorff Measure and Dimension. The primary objective is to clarify and rigorously detail the two most common methods used for…
We consider the problem of distinguishing between two arbitrary black-box distributions defined over the domain [n], given access to $s$ samples from both. It is known that in the worst case O(n^{2/3}) samples is both necessary and…
This paper studies minimax rates of convergence for nonparametric location-scale models, which include mean, quantile and expectile regression settings. Under Hellinger differentiability on the error distribution and other mild conditions,…
