Consider algorithms with unbounded computation time that probe the entries of the adjacency matrix of an $n$ vertex graph, and need to output a clique. We show that if the input graph is drawn at random from $G_{n,\frac{1}{2}}$ (and hence…
We present a simple proof to a fact recently established in [5]: let $\xi$ be a symmetric random variable that has variance $1$, let $\Gamma=(\xi_{ij})$ be an $N \times n$ random matrix whose entries are independent copies of $\xi$, and set…
Let $\Lambda$ be the collection of all probability distributions for $(X,\widetilde{X})$, where $X$ is a fixed random vector and $\widetilde{X}$ ranges over all possible knockoff copies of $X$ (in the sense of \cite{CFJL18}). Three topics…
This paper studies a problem of Erd\"{o}s concerning lattice cubes. Given an $N \times N \times N$ lattice cube, we want to find the maximum number of vertices one can select so that no eight corners of a rectangular box are chosen…
Given a $k\times n$ integer primitive matrix $\bf{A}$ (i.e., a matrix can be extended to an $n\times n$ unimodular matrix over the integers) with the maximal absolute value of entries $\|\bf{A}\|$ bounded by {an integer} $\lambda$ from…
We give new evidence that quantum computers -- moreover, rudimentary quantum computers built entirely out of linear-optical elements -- cannot be efficiently simulated by classical computers. In particular, we define a model of computation…
This paper investigates the construction of space-filling designs for computer experiments. The space-filling property is characterized by the covering and separation radii of a design, which are integrated through the unified criterion of…
Various specifiable combinatorial structures, with d extensive parameters, can be exactly sampled both by the recursive method, with linear arithmetic complexity if a heavy preprocessing is performed, or by the Boltzmann method, with…
What is the maximum number of points that can be selected from an $n \times n$ square lattice such that no $k+1$ of them are in a line? This has been asked more than $100$ years ago for $k=2$ and it remained wide open ever since. In this…
We propose a randomized lattice algorithm for approximating multivariate periodic functions over the $d$-dimensional unit cube from the weighted Korobov space with mixed smoothness $\alpha > 1/2$ and product weights…
By using the abstract linear-optical network derived in [S. Scheel and N. L\"utkenhaus, New J. Phys. \textbf{6}, 51 (2004)] we show that for the lowest possible ancilla photon numbers the probability of success of realizing a (single-shot)…
This article presents uniform random generators of plane partitions according to the size (the number of cubes in the 3D interpretation). Combining a bijection of Pak with the method of Boltzmann sampling, we obtain random samplers that are…
The major challenge in designing a discriminative learning algorithm for predicting structured data is to address the computational issues arising from the exponential size of the output space. Existing algorithms make different assumptions…
We study the problem of finding solutions to the stable matching problem that are robust to errors in the input and we obtain a polynomial time algorithm for a special class of errors. In the process, we also initiate work on a new…
We show the existence of regular combinatorial objects which previously were not known to exist. Specifically, for a wide range of the underlying parameters, we show the existence of non-trivial orthogonal arrays, t-designs, and t-wise…
Consider a set $P$ of $n$ points picked uniformly and independently from $[0,1]^d$ for a constant dimension $d$ -- such a point set is extremely well behaved in many aspects. For example, for a fixed $r \in [0,1]$, we prove a new…
In this note, we discuss planar lattices generated by their atoms. We prove that if $L$ is a planar lattice generated by $n$ atoms, then both the left and the right boundaries of $L$ have at most $n+1$ elements. On the other hand, $L$ can…
An m-ballot path of size n is a path on the square grid consisting of north and east steps, starting at (0,0), ending at (mn,n), and never going below the line {x=my}. The set of these paths can be equipped with a lattice structure, called…
Instances generation is crucial for linear programming algorithms, which is necessary either to find the optimal pivot rules by training learning method or to evaluate and verify corresponding algorithms. This study proposes a general…
The Light Bulb Problem is one of the most basic problems in data analysis. One is given as input $n$ vectors in $\{-1,1\}^d$, which are all independently and uniformly random, except for a planted pair of vectors with inner product at least…
