We consider the problem of estimating a $d$-dimensional $s$-sparse discrete distribution from its samples observed under a $b$-bit communication constraint. The best-known previous result on $\ell_2$ estimation error for this problem is…

Consider a geometric range space $(X,\c{A})$ where each data point $x \in X$ has two or more values (say $r(x)$ and $b(x)$). Also consider a function $\Phi(A)$ defined on any subset $A \in (X,\c{A})$ on the sum of values in that range e.g.,…

We construct near-optimal coresets for kernel density estimates for points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ when the kernel is positive definite. Specifically we show a polynomial time construction for a coreset of size $O(\sqrt{d}/\varepsilon\cdot…

For a degree sequence $d:d_1\geq \cdots \geq d_n$, we consider the smallest chromatic number $\chi_{\min}(d)$ and the largest chromatic number $\chi_{\max}(d)$ among all graphs with degree sequence $d$. We show that if $d_n\geq 1$, then…

For a hypergraph ${\mathcal H} = (V,{\mathcal E})$, its $d$--fold symmetric product is $\Delta^d {\mathcal H} = (V^d,\{E^d |E \in {\mathcal E}\})$. We give several upper and lower bounds for the $c$-color discrepancy of such products. In…

The problem of matching two sets of features appears in various tasks of computer vision and can be often formalized as a problem of permutation estimation. We address this problem from a statistical point of view and provide a theoretical…

The surface area of a set which is only observed as a binary pixel image is often estimated by a weighted sum of pixel configurations counts. In this paper we examine these estimators in a design based setting -- we assume that the observed…

We provide a unified theoretical analysis of Linear Discriminant Analysis with simultaneous multilabel scatter matrix formulations and Stiefel orthogonality constraints. Our contributions span both algebraic structure and statistical…

The relation between the girth and the guaranteed error correction capability of $\gamma$-left regular LDPC codes when decoded using the bit flipping (serial and parallel) algorithms is investigated. A lower bound on the size of variable…

A finite subset $X$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ is called an $s$-distance set with strength $t$ if its angle set $A(X):=\{\langle \mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}\rangle : \mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}\in X,\mathbf{x}\neq\mathbf{y} \}$ has size $s$,…

Amorphous solids are critical in the design and production of nanoscale devices, but under strong confinement these materials exhibit changes in their mechanical properties which are not well understood. Phenomenological models explain…

Let $({\bf U},{\bf S},d)$ be an instance of Set Cover Problem, where ${\bf U}=\{u_1,...,u_n\}$ is a $n$ element ground set, ${\bf S}=\{S_1,...,S_m\}$ is a set of $m$ subsets of ${\bf U}$ satisfying $\bigcup_{i=1}^m S_i={\bf U}$ and $d$ is a…

In the setting of a group $\Gamma$ acting faithfully on a set $X$, a $k$-coloring $c: X\rightarrow \{1, 2, ..., k\}$ is called $\Gamma$-distinguishing if the only element of $\Gamma$ that fixes $c$ is the identity element. The…

In the current paper we obtain discrepancy estimates in exponential Orlicz and BMO spaces in arbitrary dimension $d \ge 3$. In particular, we use dyadic harmonic analysis to prove that for the so-called digital nets of order $2$ the…

The complexity of distributed edge coloring depends heavily on the palette size as a function of the maximum degree $\Delta$. In this paper we explore the complexity of edge coloring in the LOCAL model in different palette size regimes. 1.…

We noisily observe solutions of an ordinary differential equation $\dot u = f(u)$ at given times, where $u$ lives in a $d$-dimensional state space. The model function $f$ is unknown and belongs to a H\"older-type smoothness class with…

We revisit the complexity of the classical $k$-Coloring problem parameterized by clique-width. This is a very well-studied problem that becomes highly intractable when the number of colors $k$ is large. However, much less is known on its…

A result of Spencer states that every collection of $n$ sets over a universe of size $n$ has a coloring of the ground set with $\{-1,+1\}$ of discrepancy $O(\sqrt{n})$. A geometric generalization of this result was given by Gluskin (see…
