Let $Z(t)=\chi^{-1/2}(1/2+it)\zeta(1/2+it)=e^{i\theta(t)}\zeta(1/2+it)$ be Hardy's function and $g(n)$ be the $n$-th Gram points defined by $\theta(g(n))=\pi n$. Titchmarsh proved that $\sum_{n \leq N} Z(g(2n)) =2N+O(N^{3/4}\log^{3/4}N) $…

We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions $f(x) = \sign(w\cdot x - \theta)$ over the $n$-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold functions. Our first result shows that every…

The classical Crossing Lemma by Ajtai et al.~and Leighton from 1982 gave an important lower bound of $c \frac{m^3}{n^2}$ for the number of crossings in any drawing of a given graph of $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. The original value was $c=…

The Fr\'echet distance is a popular distance measure between trajectories or curves in space, or between walks in graphs. We study computing the Fr\'echet distance between walks in the $d$-dimensional grid graphs, i.e. $\mathbb{Z}^d$ where…

We calculate the two-point correlation function <x(t2)x(t1)> for a subdiffusive continuous time random walk in a parabolic potential, generalizing well-known results for the single-time statistics to two times. A closed analytical…

The directed graph reachability problem takes as input an $n$-vertex directed graph $G=(V,E)$, and two distinguished vertices $s$ and $t$. The problem is to determine whether there exists a path from $s$ to $t$ in $G$. This is a canonical…

Let $G$ be a connected graph and $d(a,b)$ be the distance between the vertices $a$ and $b$. A subset $U =\{u_1,u_2,\cdots,u_k\}$ of the vertices is called a resolving set for $G$ if for every two distinct vertices $a,b \in V(G)$, there is a…

We show that the number of incidences between $m$ distinct points and $n$ distinct lines in ${\mathbb R}^4$ is $O\left(2^{c\sqrt{\log m}} (m^{2/5}n^{4/5}+m) + m^{1/2}n^{1/2}q^{1/4} + m^{2/3}n^{1/3}s^{1/3} + n\right)$, for a suitable…

We consider the multiplicative complexity of Boolean functions with multiple bits of output, studying how large a multiplicative complexity is necessary and sufficient to provide a desired nonlinearity. For so-called $\Sigma\Pi\Sigma$…

We prove the existence of two thresholds regarding the compilability of random 2-CNF formulas to OBDDs. The formulas are drawn from $\mathcal{F}_2(n,\delta n)$, the uniform distribution over all 2-CNFs with $\delta n$ clauses and $n$…
