The Merino-Welsh conjecture states that for a graph $G$ without loops and bridges the Tutte polynomial $T_G(x,y)$ satisfies the inequality $$\max(T_G(2,0),T_G(0,2))\geqslant T_G(1,1).$$ Later Jackson proved that for any matroid $M$ without…
We consider the problem of finding good low rank approximations of symmetric, positive-definite $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$. Chen-Epperly-Tropp-Webber showed, among many other things, that the randomly pivoted partial Cholesky algorithm…
We prove the equivalence between two explicit expressions for two-point Witten-Kontsevich correlators obtained by M. Bertola, B. Dubrovin, D. Yang and by P. Zograf.
We present an elementary proof of a conjecture proposed by I. Rasa in 2017 which is an inequality involving Bernstein basis polynomials and convex functions. It was affirmed in positive by A. Komisarski and T. Rajba very recently by the use…
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce various convexity concepts in terms of a positive Chebyshev system $\omega$ and give a systematic investigation of the relations among them. We generalize a celebrated theorem of…
For each pair of complex symmetric matrices $(A,B)$ we provide a normal form with a minimal number of independent parameters, to which all pairs of complex symmetric matrices $(\widetilde{A},\widetilde{B})$, close to $(A,B)$ can be reduced…
It was shown by the authors that two one-dimensional probability measures in the convex order admit a martingale coupling with respect to which the integral of $\vert x-y\vert$ is smaller than twice their $\mathcal W_1$-distance…
It is shown that the world-line can be eliminated in the matrix quantum mechanics conjectured by Banks, Fischler, Shenker and Susskind to describe the light-cone physics of M theory. The resulting matrix model has a form that suggests…
We show for $A,B\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ of equal volume and $t\in (0,1/2]$ that if $|tA+(1-t)B|< (1+t^d)|A|$, then (up to translation) $|\text{co}(A\cup B)|/|A|$ is bounded. This establishes the sharp threshold for Figalli and Jerison's…
It is shown that the $L^\alpha$-norms polynomials Rudin conjecture fails. Our counterexample is inspired by Bourgain's work on NLS. Precisely, his study of the Strichartz's inequality of the $L^6$-norm of the periodic solutions given by the…
We provide a parametric construction in terms of minimal surfaces of the Euclidean submanifolds of codimension two and arbitrary dimension that attain equality in an inequality due to De Smet, Dillen, Verstraelen and Vrancken. The latter…
In this article, we prove that convex functions and log-convex functions obey certain general refinements that lead to several refinements and reverses of well known inequalities for matrices, including Young's inequality, Heinz inequality,…
In 2007, Dmytrenko, Lazebnik and Williford posed two related conjectures about polynomials over finite fields. Conjecture~1 is a claim about the uniqueness of certain monomial graphs. Conjecture~2, which implies Conjecture~1, deals with…
Let A and B be two commutative semisimple Frechet algebras. We first give a characterization of the multiplier algebra of the direct sum of A and B. We then prove that A \oplus B is a BSE-algebra if and only if A and B are BSE-algebras.…
Given a sequence of Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities in $L_2$ on a usual compact space $\mathcal M$, Gr\"ochenig introduced the weighted least squares polynomials and the least squares quadrature from pointwise samples of a function, and…
The article is concerned with the problem of the additivity of the tensor rank. That is for two independent tensors we study when the rank of their direct sum is equal to the sum of their individual ranks. The statement saying that…
Among central measures on the path space of the Young--Fibonacci lattice the so-called Plancherel measure has a special role. Its ergodicity was proved by Kerov and Gnedin. The goal of this cycle of two articles is to prove that remaining…
Docovic and Szechtman, [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 133 (2005) 2853-2863] considered a vector space V endowed with a bilinear form. They proved that all isometries of V over a field F of characteristic not 2 have determinant 1 if and only if V…
Newton's inequalities $c_n^2 \ge c_{n-1}c_{n+1}$ are shown to hold for the normalized coefficients $c_n$ of the characteristic polynomial of any $M$- or inverse $M$-matrix. They are derived by establishing first an auxiliary set of…
We provide new conditions under which the alternating projection sequence converges in norm for the convex feasibility problem where a linear subspace with finite codimension $N\geq 2$ and a lattice cone in a Hilbert space are considered.…
