Consider a normal vector $\mathbf{z}=(\mathbf{x}',\mathbf{y}')'$, consisting of two sub-vectors $\mathbf{x}$ and $\mathbf{y}$ with dimensions $p$ and $q$ respectively. With $n$ independent observations of $\mathbf{z}$ at hand, we study the…
The main result is Corollary 2.9 which provides upper bounds on, and even better, approximates the largest non-trivial eigenvalue in absolute value of real constant row-sum matrices by the use of vector norm based ergodicity coefficients…
Error probabilities of random codes for memoryless channels are considered in this paper. In the area of communication systems, admissible error probability is very small and it is sometimes more important to discuss the relative gap…
This paper studies the problem of recovering the hidden vertex correspondence between two edge-correlated random graphs. We focus on the Gaussian model where the two graphs are complete graphs with correlated Gaussian weights and the…
In the negative perceptron problem we are given $n$ data points $({\boldsymbol x}_i,y_i)$, where ${\boldsymbol x}_i$ is a $d$-dimensional vector and $y_i\in\{+1,-1\}$ is a binary label. The data are not linearly separable and hence we…
We consider the supercritical finite-range random connection model where the points $x,y$ of a homogeneous planar Poisson process are connected with probability $f(|y-x|)$ for a given $f$. Performing percolation on the resulting graph, we…
We present high statistics data on the distribution of shortest path lengths between two near-by points on the same cluster at the percolation threshold. Our data are based on a new and very efficient algorithm. For $d=2$ they clearly…
The ribbonlength of a link is a geometric invariant defined as the infimum of the ratio of the length to the width of a folded ribbon realization of the link. In this paper, we prove that if an alternating link admits an alternating diagram…
We obtain new bounds for the optimal matching cost for empirical measures with unbounded support. For a large class of radially symmetric and rapidly decaying probability laws, we prove for the first time the asymptotic rate of convergence…
Cohen and Kontorovich (COLT 2023) initiated the study of what we call here the Binomial Empirical Process: the maximal absolute value of a sequence of inhomogeneous normalized and centered binomials. They almost fully analyzed the case…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of deciding whether two standard normal random vectors $\mathsf{X}\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $\mathsf{Y}\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$ are correlated or not. This is formulated as a hypothesis testing problem,…
Extreme economic outcomes are not shaped by tails alone. They are also shaped by unequal access to opportunities. This paper develops a theory of heterogeneous extremes by taking the distribution of opportunity access as the object of…
Consider the binary classification problem of predicting a target variable $Y$ from a discrete feature vector $X = (X_1,...,X_d)$. When the probability distribution $\mathbb{P}(X,Y)$ is known, the optimal classifier, leading to the minimum…
The maximum likelihood threshold (MLT) of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of samples to almost surely guarantee existence of the maximum likelihood estimate in the corresponding Gaussian graphical model. We give a new characterization of…
This paper concerns with a family of elliptic systems of linear elasticity with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients, arising in the theory of homogenization. We establish uniform optimal regularity estimates for solutions of Neumann…
We show a surprising connexion between a property of the inf convolution of a family of convex lower semicontinuous functions and the fact that the intersection of maximal cyclically monotone graphs is the critical set of a bipotential. We…
Non-locality is the phenomenon of observing strong correlations among the outcomes of local measurements of a multipartite physical system. No-signaling boxes are the abstract objects for studying non-locality, and wirings are local…
We consider a family of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg interpolation inequalities and weighted logarithmic Hardy inequalities which have been obtained recently as a limit case of the first ones. We discuss the ranges of the parameters for which…
We perform an analytical analysis of the long-range degree correlation of the giant component in an uncorrelated random network by employing generating functions. By introducing a characteristic length, we find that a pair of nodes in the…
In this paper we extend to non-compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary the use of two important tools in the geometric analysis of compact spaces, namely, the weak maximum principle for subharmonic functions and the integration by parts.…
