We prove a multivariate central limit theorem with explicit error bound on a non-smooth function distance for sums of bounded decomposable $d$-dimensional random vectors. The decomposition structure is similar to that of Barbour, Karo\'nski…

Let $\varepsilon_1,\ldots,\varepsilon_n$ be independent identically distributed Rademacher random variables, that is $\mathbb{P}\{\varepsilon_i=\pm1\}=1/2$. Let $S_n=a_1\varepsilon_1+\cdots+a_n\varepsilon_n$, where…

Suppose $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_n\right\} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is a set of $n$ points in the plane with diameter $\leq 1$, meaning $|x_i - x_j| \leq 1$ for all $1 \leq i,j \leq n$. We show that the ratio of the number of ``neighbors''…

Matter at ultra-high densities finds a physical realization inside neutron stars. One key property is their maximum mass, which has far-reaching implications for astrophysics and the equation of state of ultra dense matter. In this work, we…

In this paper we study the extreme and the periodic $L_2$ discrepancy of plane point sets. The extreme discrepancy is based on arbitrary rectangles as test sets whereas the periodic discrepancy uses "periodic intervals", which can be seen…

Motivated by the Koml\'os conjecture in combinatorial discrepancy, we study the discrepancy of random matrices with $m$ rows and $n$ independent columns drawn from a bounded lattice random variable. It is known that for $n$ tending to…
