In spite of its simplicity, the central limit theorem captures one of the most outstanding phenomena in mathematical physics, that of universality. While this classical result is well understood it is still not very clear what happens to…
Consider the following Lane-Emden system with Dirichlet boundary conditions: \[ -\Delta U = |V|^{\beta-1}V,\ -\Delta V = |U|^{\alpha-1}U \text{ in }\Omega,\qquad U=V= 0 \text{ on }\partial \Omega, \] in a bounded domain $\Omega$, for…
We introduce a new theory of generalised solutions which applies to fully nonlinear PDE systems of any order and allows for merely measurable maps as solutions. This approach bypasses the standard problems arising by the application of…
We present an analytical calculation of the local density of states correlation function $ \beta(\omega) $ in the L\'evy-Rosenzweig-Porter random matrix ensemble at energy scales larger than the level spacing but smaller than the bandwidth.…
Tracy and Widom showed that the level spacing function of the Gaussian unitary ensemble is related to a particular solution of the fourth Painlev\'e equation. We reconsider this problem from the viewpoint of Hirota's bilinear method in…
This paper presents an improved exponential tail bound for Beta distributions, refining a result in [15]. This improvement is achieved by interpreting their bound as a regular Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence one, while introducing a…
The increasing tritronqu\'ee solutions of the Painlev\'e-II equation with parameter $\alpha$ exhibit square-root asymptotics in the maximally-large sector $|\arg(x)|<\tfrac{2}{3}\pi$ and have recently appeared in applications where it is…
A three-step method due to Nijhoff and Bobenko & Suris to derive a Lax pair for scalar partial difference equations (P\Delta Es) is reviewed. The method assumes that the P\Delta Es are defined on a quadrilateral, and consistent around the…
The scaled distribution of the smallest eigenvalue in the Laguerre orthogonal and symplectic ensembles is evaluated in terms of a Painlev\'e V transcendent. This same Painlev\'e V transcendent is known from the work of Tracy and Widom,…
We present some review material relating to the topic of optimal asymptotic expansions of correlation functions and associated observables for $\beta$ ensembles in random matrix theory. We also give an introduction to a related line of…
This paper studies the monic semi-classical Laguerre polynomials based on previous work by Boelen and Van Assche \cite{Boelen}, Filipuk et al. \cite{Filipuk} and Clarkson and Jordaan \cite{Clarkson}. Filipuk, Van Assche and Zhang proved…
In this paper, we study a well known asymptotic limit in which the second Painlev\'e equation (P_II) becomes the first Painlev\'e equation (P_I). The limit preserves the Painlev\'e property (i.e. that all movable singularities of all…
This paper presents a full classification of the short-time behavior of the interfaces in the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear second order degenerate parabolic PDE \[ u_t-\Delta u^m +b u^\beta=0, \ x\in \mathbb{R}^N, 0<t<T \] with…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of a family of pole-free solutions to the noncommutative Painlev\'e II equation. These particular solutions can be expressed in terms of the Fredholm determinant of the matrix version of the…
We study the variational structure of the biased infinity Laplacian by introducing a notion of the $\beta$\textit{-Exponential Absolute Minimizing Extension} ($\beta$--AM) on arbitrary length space, which absolutely minimizing the…
To learn (statistical) dependencies among random variables requires exponentially large sample size in the number of observed random variables if any arbitrary joint probability distribution can occur. We consider the case that sparse data…
For the distributions of finitely many binary random variables, we study the interaction of restrictions of the supports with conditional independence constraints. We prove a generalization of the Hammersley-Clifford theorem for…
We develop a new technique for constructing sparse graphs that allow us to prove near-linear lower bounds on the round complexity of computing distances in the CONGEST model. Specifically, we show an $\widetilde{\Omega}(n)$ lower bound for…
We provide a comprehensive analysis of the two-parameter Beta distributions seen from the perspective of second-order stochastic dominance. By changing its parameters through a bijective mapping, we work with a bounded subset D instead of…
