Permanents of random matrices with independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) entries have extensively studied in literature and convergence and concentration properties are known under varying assumptions on the distributions. In…

Recently we considered a class of random matrices obtained by choosing distinct codewords at random from linear codes over finite fields and proved that under some natural algebraic conditions their empirical spectral distribution converges…

A general explicit upper bound is obtained for the proportion $P(n,m)$ of elements of order dividing $m$, where $n-1 \le m \le cn$ for some constant $c$, in the finite symmetric group $S_n$. This is used to find lower bounds for the…

The decision problem of perfect matchings in uniform hypergraphs is famously an NP-complete problem. It has been shown by Keevash--Knox--Mycroft [STOC, 2013] that for every $\varepsilon>0$, such decision problem restricted to $k$-uniform…

In this paper we propose a model of random compositions of cylinder maps, which in the simplified form is as follows: let $(\theta,r)\in \mathbb T\times \mathbb R=\mathbb A$ and \[ f_{\pm 1}:…

Using tools developed in a recent work by Shen and the second author, in this paper we carry out an in-depth study on the average decoding error probability of the random matrix ensemble over the erasure channel under three decoding…

We establish the satisfiability threshold for random $k$-SAT for all $k\ge k_0$, with $k_0$ an absolute constant. That is, there exists a limiting density $\alpha_*(k)$ such that a random $k$-SAT formula of clause density $\alpha$ is with…

Word embedding is an essential building block for deep learning methods for natural language processing. Although word embedding has been extensively studied over the years, the problem of how to effectively embed numerals, a special subset…

Overlap-free words are words over the binary alphabet $A=\{a, b\}$ that do not contain factors of the form $xvxvx$, where $x \in A$ and $v \in A^*$. We analyze the asymptotic growth of the number $u_n$ of overlap-free words of length $n$ as…

The rate of occurrence of words is not uniform but varies from document to document. Despite this observation, parameters for conventional n-gram language models are usually derived using the assumption of a constant word rate. In this…

This paper is about the rate of convergence of the Markov chain $X_{n+1}=AX_{n}+B_{n}$ (mod $p$), where $A$ is an integer matrix with nonzero eigenvalues and ${B_{n}}_{n}$ is a sequence of independent and identically distributed integer…

We study the problem of retrieving data from a channel that breaks the input sequence into a set of unordered fragments of random lengths, which we refer to as the chop-and-shuffle channel. The length of each fragment follows a geometric…

Multiple-choice load balancing has been a topic of intense study since the seminal paper of Azar, Broder, Karlin, and Upfal. Questions in this area can be phrased in terms of orientations of a graph, or more generally a k-uniform random…

As the probability (and thus perplexity) of a text is calculated based on the product of the probabilities of individual tokens, it may happen that one unlikely token significantly reduces the probability (i.e., increase the perplexity) of…

This work combines algorithms based on word embeddings, dimensionality reduction, and clustering. The objective is to obtain topics from a set of unclassified texts. The algorithm to obtain the word embeddings is the BERT model, a neural…

In this paper we study spread codes: a family of constant-dimension codes for random linear network coding. In other words, the codewords are full-rank matrices of size (k x n) with entries in a finite field F_q. Spread codes are a family…

Discerning chaos in quantum systems is an important problem as the usual route of Lyapunov exponents in classical systems is not straightforward in quantum systems. A standard route is the comparison of statistics derived from model…

We study the complexity of proving that a sparse random regular graph on an odd number of vertices does not have a perfect matching, and related problems involving each vertex being matched some pre-specified number of times. We show that…

In the Levenshtein's sequence reconstruction problem a codeword is transmitted through $N$ channels and in each channel a set of errors is introduced to the transmitted word. In previous works, the restriction that each channel provides a…

Let $K_n$ denote the number of distinct values among the first $n$ terms of an infinite exchangeable sequence of random variables $(X_1,X_2,\ldots)$. We prove for $n=3$ that the extreme points of the convex set of all possible laws of $K_3$…
