In this paper we develop a measure-theoretic method to treat problems in hypergraph theory. Our central theorem is a correspondence principle between three objects: An increasing hypergraph sequence, a measurable set in an ultraproduct…

Lovasz's striking proof of Kneser's conjecture from 1978 using the Borsuk--Ulam theorem provides a lower bound on the chromatic number of a graph. We introduce the shore subdivision of simplicial complexes and use it to show an upper bound…

In this paper hypergraph Lambek calculus ($\mathrm{HL}$) is presented. This formalism aims to generalize the Lambek calculus ($\mathrm{L}$) to hypergraphs as hyperedge replacement grammars extend context-free grammars. In contrast to the…

The Lovasz theta function provides a lower bound for the chromatic number of finite graphs based on the solution of a semidefinite program. In this paper we generalize it so that it gives a lower bound for the measurable chromatic number of…

Consider the family of all perfect matchings of the complete graph $K_{2n}$ with $2n$ vertices. Given any collection $\mathcal M$ of perfect matchings of size $s$, there exists a maximum number $f(n,x)$ such that if $s\leq f(n,x)$, then…

We consider the problem of large-scale inference on the row or column variables of data in the form of a matrix. Often this data is transposable, meaning that both the row variables and column variables are of potential interest. An example…

Given two positive definite matrices $A$ and $B$, a well known result by Gelfand, Naimark and Lidskii establishes a relationship between the eigenvalues of $A$ and $B$ and those of $AB$ by means of majorization inequalities. In this work we…

An increasing number of applications is concerned with recovering a sparse matrix from noisy observations. In this paper, we consider the setting where each row of the unknown matrix is sparse. We establish minimax optimal rates of…

In this survey, we have attempted to show some developmental milestones on the characterizations of intersection graphs of hypergraphs. The theory of intersection graphs of hypergraphs has been a classical topic in the theory of special…

The Shapley-Folkman theorem shows that Minkowski averages of uniformly bounded sets tend to be convex when the number of terms in the sum becomes much larger than the ambient dimension. In optimization, Aubin and Ekeland [1976] show that…

We show several sharp upper and lower bounds for the sum of the largest eigenvalues of the signless Laplacian matrix. These bounds improve and extend previously known bounds.

We prove deviation inequalities for sums of high-dimensional random matrices and operators with dependence and {\rc heavy tails}. Estimation of high-dimensional matrices is a concern for numerous modern applications. However, most results…

The aim of this paper is to give a short overview on error bounds and to provide the first bricks of a unified theory. Inspired by the works of [8, 15, 13, 16, 10], we show indeed the centrality of the Lojasiewicz gradient inequality. For…

The Steinitz lemma, a classic from 1913, states that $a_1,\ldots,a_n$, a sequence of vectors in $\R^d$ with $\sum_1^n a_i=0$, can be rearranged so that every partial sum of the rearranged sequence has norm at most $2d\max \|a_i\|$. In the…
