We give a new bound on the probability that the random sum $\xi_1 v_1 +...+ \xi_n v_n$ belongs to a ball of fixed radius, where the $\xi_i$ are iid Bernoulli random variables and the $v_i$ are vectors in $\R^d$. As an application, we prove…

A proof for the lower bound is provided for the smallest eigenvalue of finite element equations with arbitrary conforming simplicial meshes. The bound has a similar form as the one by Graham and McLean [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 44 (2006), pp.…

While useful probability bounds for $n$ pairwise independent Bernoulli random variables adding up to at least an integer $k$ have been proposed in the literature, none of these bounds are tight in general. In this paper, we provide several…

Let $\epsilon_1, \dotsc, \epsilon_n$ be i.i.d. Rademacher random variables taking values $\pm 1$ with probability $1/2$ each. Given an integer vector $\boldsymbol{a} = (a_1, \dotsc, a_n)$, its concentration probability is the quantity…

We study the statistics of the largest eigenvalues of real symmetric and sample covariance matrices when the entries are heavy tailed. Extending the result obtained by Soshnikov in \cite{Sos1}, we prove that, in the absence of the fourth…

Consider $n$ real/complex, independent/dependent random variables with respective tail bounds and $g$ a measurable function of the r.v.'s. Consider $f$ the "sharpest" tail bound of $g$ (sharpest in the sense that if $f$ were any less, then…

The paper suggests a simple method of deriving minimax lower bounds to the accuracy of statistical inference on heavy tails. A well-known result by Hall and Welsh (Ann. Statist. 12 (1984) 1079-1084) states that if $\hat{\alpha}_n$ is an…

Let $M$ be an $n\times n$ random i.i.d. matrix. This paper studies the deviation inequality of $s_{n-k+1}(M)$, the $k$-th smallest singular value of $M$. In particular, when the entries of $M$ are subgaussian, we show that for any…

In an instance of the minimum eigenvalue problem, we are given a collection of $n$ vectors $v_1,\ldots, v_n \subset {\mathbb{R}^d}$, and the goal is to pick a subset $B\subseteq [n]$ of given vectors to maximize the minimum eigenvalue of…
