Nonlocal tests on multi-partite quantum correlations form the basis of protocols that certify randomness in a device-independent (DI) way. Such correlations admit a rich structure, making the task of choosing an appropriate test difficult.…

Consider a mixing dynamical systems $([0,1], T, \mu)$, for instance a piecewise expanding interval map with a Gibbs measure $\mu$. Given a non-summable sequence $(m_k)$ of non-negative numbers, one may define $r_k (x)$ such that $\mu (B(x,…

For a $m\times n$ matrix $B=(b_{ij})_{m\times n}$ with nonnegative entries $b_{ij}$ and any $k\times l-$submatrix $B_{ij}$ of $B$, let $a_{B_{ij}}$ and $g_{B_{ij}}$ denote the arithmetic mean and geometric mean of elements of $B_{ij}$…

Several Artificial Intelligence schemes for reasoning under uncertainty explore either explicitly or implicitly asymmetries among probabilities of various states of their uncertain domain models. Even though the correct working of these…

Let $(T,d)$ be a metric space and $\phi:\mathbb{R}_+\to \mathbb{R}$ an increasing, convex function with $\phi(0)=0$. We prove that if $m$ is a probability measure $m$ on $T$ which is majorizing with respect to $d,\phi$, that is,…

Hwang's quasi-power theorem asserts that a sequence of random variables whose moment generating functions are approximately given by powers of some analytic function is asymptotically normally distributed. This theorem is generalised to…

We investigate the problem of jointly testing a pair of composite hypotheses and, depending on the test result, estimating a random parameter under distributional uncertainties. Specifically, it is assumed that the distribution of the data…

The products of weak values of quantum observables are shown to be of value in deriving quantum uncertainty and complementarity relations, for both weak and strong measurement statistics. First, a 'product representation formula' allows the…

Certifying maximal quantum randomness without assumptions about system dimension remains a pivotal challenge for secure communication and foundational studies. Here, we introduce a generalized framework to directly certify maximal…

This paper proposes a class of origin-smooth approximators of indicators underlying the sum-of-negative-part statistic for testing multiple inequalities. The need for simulation or bootstrap to obtain test critical values is thereby…

We show that if ${\mathcal A},{\mathcal B},{\mathcal C}$ are increasing subsets of $\Omega:=\{0,1\}^n$ with ${\mathcal A}\neq\emptyset$, then with respect to any product probability measure on $\Omega$, \[ \mbox{if each of the pairs…

In this paper, we prove the existence of a measure-preserving bijection from unit square to unit segment. This bijection is also called the probability isomorphism between two probability spaces. Then we give a new proof of the existence of…

Incompatible, i.e. non-jointly measurable quantum measurements are a necessary resource for many information processing tasks. It is known that increasing the number of distinct measurements usually enhances the incompatibility of a…

The classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality states that for $A_1,A_2\subset\R^n$ compact, $$ |A_1+A_2|^{1/n}\ge |A_1|^{1/n}+|A_2|^{1/n}\eqno(1) $$ where $|\cdot|$ denotes the Lebesgue measure on $\R^n$. In 1986 V. Milman {\bf [Mil 1]}…

For a sequence $\{X_{n}, \, n \geqslant 1 \}$ of random variables satisfying $\mathbb{E} \lvert X_{n} \rvert < \infty$ for all $n \geqslant 1$, a maximal inequality is established, and used to obtain strong law of large numbers for…

Let $\{A_{i,n}\}$ be a triangular array of elements in a Banach algebra, whose norms do not grow too fast, and whose row averages converge to $A$. Let $\sigma \in S(n)$ be a permutation drawn uniformly at random. If the array only contains…

Let $a_n$ be the random increasing sequence of natural numbers which takes each value independently with decreasing probability of order $n^{-\alpha}$, $0 < \alpha < 1/2$. We prove that, almost surely, for every measure-preserving system…

In many areas of engineering and sciences, decision rules and control strategies are usually designed based on nominal values of relevant system parameters. To ensure that a control strategy or decision rule will work properly when the…
