We develop a model to describe the properties of random assemblies of polydisperse hard spheres. We show that the key features to describe the system are (i) the dependence between the free volume of a sphere and the various coordination…
We consider a class of particle systems which appear in various applications such as approximation theory, plasticity, potential theory and space-filling designs. The positions of the particles on the real line are described as a global…
For a finite set of integers such that the first few gaps between its consecutive elements equal $a$, while the remaining gaps equal $b$, we study dense packings of its translates on the line. We obtain an explicit lower bound on the…
Numerical results for the polaron dispersion are presented for an arbitrary number of space dimensions. Upper and lower bounds are calculated for the dispersion curves. They are rather close to each other in the cases of small…
We give a concrete sufficient condition for a simply-connected domain to be the image of the unit disk under a nonexpansive conformal map. This class of domains is also characterized by having sufficiently dense harmonic measure. The…
Packing density is a permutation occurrence statistic which describes the maximal number of permutations of a given type that can occur in another permutation. In this article we focus on containment of sets of permutations. Although this…
We derive concentration inequalities for the supremum norm of the difference between a kernel density estimator (KDE) and its point-wise expectation that hold uniformly over the selection of the bandwidth and under weaker conditions on the…
We report a recent developement on the theory of upper conical densities. More precicely, we look at what can be said in this respect for other measures than just the Hausdorff measure. We illustrate the methods involved by proving a result…
In previous work a probabilistic approach to controlling difficulties of density in hyperbolic space led to a workable notion of optimal density for packings of bodies. In this paper we extend an ergodic theorem of Nevo to provide an…
The structure of the densest crystal packings is determined for a variety of concave shapes in 2D constructed by the overlap of two or three disks. The maximum contact number per particle pair is defined and proposed as a useful means of…
We derive upper bounds to free-space concentration of electromagnetic waves, mapping out the limits to maximum intensity for any spot size and optical beam-shaping device. For sub-diffraction-limited optical beams, our bounds suggest the…
We study the isoperimetric problem for Euclidean space endowed with a continuous density. In dimension one, we characterize isoperimetric regions for a unimodal density. In higher dimensions, we prove existence results and we derive…
The density of a code is the fraction of the coding space covered by packing balls centered around the codewords. This paper investigates the density of codes in the complex Stiefel and Grassmann manifolds equipped with the chordal…
In earlier works \cite{Sz06-1}, \cite{Sz06-2}, \cite{Sz13-3} and \cite{Sz13-4} we have investigated the densest packings and the least dense coverings by congruent hyperballs (hyperspheres) to the regular prism tilings in $n$-dimensional…
Upper bounds on the maximum number of codewords in a binary code of a given length and minimum Hamming distance are considered. New bounds are derived by a combination of linear programming and counting arguments. Some of these bounds…
In this article we give upper and lower bounds for the integrated density of states (IDS) of the 1D discrete Anderson-Bernoulli model when the disorder is strong enough to separate the two spectral bands. These bounds are uniform on the…
In this paper, we investigate geometrical properties of the rank metric space and covering properties of rank metric codes. We first establish an analytical expression for the intersection of two balls with rank radii, and then derive an…
In this paper we derive new upper bounds for the densities of measurable sets in R^n which avoid a finite set of prescribed distances. The new bounds come from the solution of a linear programming problem. We apply this method to obtain new…
