The objective of the paper is to establish a computable upper bound for the almost sure convergence rate for a class of ratio consensus algorithms defined via column-stochastic matrices. Our result extends the works of Iutzeler et al.…
An $s$-subset of codewords of a binary code $X$ is said to be an {\em $(s,\ell)$-bad} in $X$ if the code $X$ contains a subset of other $\ell$ codewords such that the conjunction of the $\ell$ codewords is covered by the disjunctive sum of…
We imagine an experiment on an unknown quantum mechanical system in which the system is prepared in various ways and a range of measurements are performed. For each measurement M and preparation rho the experimenter can determine, given…
It is shown that at least 50% of the probability mass of a sum of independent Rademacher random variables is within one standard deviation from its mean. This lower bound is sharp, it is much better than for instance the bound that can be…
New lower bounds on the minimum distance of quasi-twisted codes over finite fields are proposed. They are based on spectral analysis and eigenvalues of polynomial matrices. They generalize the Semenov-Trifonov and Zeh-Ling bounds in a…
For connectivity of \emph{random geometric graphs}, where there is no density for underlying distribution of the vertices, we consider $n$ i.i.d. \emph{Cantor} distributed points on $[0,1]$. We show that for this random geometric graph, the…

Let $C$ be a linear code of length $n$ and dimension $k$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$. The trace code $\mathrm{Tr}(C)$ is a linear code of the same length $n$ over the subfield $\mathbb{F}_q$. The obvious upper bound for the…
Given any two vertices u, v of a random geometric graph, denote by d_E(u,v) their Euclidean distance and by d_G(u,v) their graph distance. The problem of finding upper bounds on d_G(u,v) in terms of d_E(u,v) has received a lot of attention…
The likelihood-free sequential Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) algorithms, are increasingly popular inference tools for complex biological models. Such algorithms proceed by constructing a succession of probability distributions over…
We provide an upper bound on the quasi-relative entropy in terms of the trace distance. The bound is derived for two cases: 1) any operator monotone decreasing function and full rank mixed qubit or classical states; 2) a large class of…
Separation bounds are a fundamental measure of the complexity of solving a zero-dimensional system as it measures how difficult it is to separate its zeroes. In the positive dimensional case, the notion of reach takes its place. In this…
In this paper we investigate bounds on rate and minimum distance of codes with $t$ availability. We present bounds on minimum distance of a code with $t$ availability that are tighter than existing bounds. For bounds on rate of a code with…
In this paper, explicit error bounds are derived in the approximation of rank $k$ projections of certain $n$-dimensional random vectors by standard $k$-dimensional Gaussian random vectors. The bounds are given in terms of $k$, $n$, and a…
We construct a class of $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4$-additive cyclic codes generated by pairs of polynomials, study their algebraic structures, and obtain the generator matrix of any code in the class. Using a probabilistic method, we prove…
This note concerns the asymptotics of the expected total Betti numbers of the nodal set for an important class of Gaussian ensembles of random fields on Riemannian manifolds. By working with the limit random field defined on the Euclidean…

A metric probability space $M$ admits thresholds if the random geometric graph on $M$ has a threshold for every monotone graph property. We connect the existence of thresholds to the uniform expansion of $M$ and prove that all standard…
We propose a family of variational approximations to Bayesian posterior distributions, called $\alpha$-VB, with provable statistical guarantees. The standard variational approximation is a special case of $\alpha$-VB with $\alpha=1$. When…
