Estimating the spectral density function $f(w)$ for some $w\in [-\pi, \pi]$ has been traditionally performed by kernel smoothing the periodogram and related techniques. Kernel smoothing is tantamount to local averaging, i.e., approximating…

We consider random polynomials of the form $G_n(z):= \sum_{|\alpha|\leq n} \xi^{(n)}_{\alpha}p_{n,\alpha}(z)$ where $\{\xi^{(n)}_{\alpha}\}_{|\alpha|\leq n}$ are i.i.d. (complex) random variables and $\{p_{n,\alpha}\}_{|\alpha|\leq n}$ form…

Given a sequence of real numbers $\{\psi(n)\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ with $0\leq \psi(n)<1$, let $W(\psi)$ denote the set of $x\in[0,1]$ for which $|xn-m|<\psi(n)$ for infinitely many coprime pairs $(n,m)\in\mathbb{N}\times\mathbb{Z}$. The…

We answer Totik's question on weighted Bernstein's inequalities showing that $$ \|T_n'\|_{L_p(\omega)} \le C(p,\omega)\, {n}\,\|T_n\|_{L_p(\omega)},\qquad 0<p\le \infty, $$ holds for all trigonometric polynomials $T_n$ and certain…

Let $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of events on a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbf{P})$. We show that if $\lim_{m\to\infty}\sum_{n=1}^{m}w_n\mathbf{P}(A_n)=\infty$ where each $w_n\in\mathbb{R}$, then…

In this paper, the authors characterize Sobolev spaces $W^{\alpha,p}({\mathbb R}^n)$ with the smoothness order $\alpha\in(0,2]$ and $p\in(\max\{1, \frac{2n}{2\alpha+n}\},\infty)$, via the Lusin area function and the Littlewood-Paley…

This paper gives a dichotomy theorem for the complexity of computing the partition function of an instance of a weighted Boolean constraint satisfaction problem. The problem is parameterised by a finite set F of non-negative functions that…

This paper studies the statistical estimation of exact Wasserstein barycenters. Existing non-asymptotic results for empirical barycenters exhibit a severe curse of dimensionality. Motivated by the semi-dual formulation of the barycenter…

Given complex numbers $w_1, \ldots, w_n$, we define the weight $w(X)$ of a set $X$ of 0-1 vectors as the sum of $w_1^{x_1} \cdots w_n^{x_n}$ over all vectors $(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ in $X$. We present an algorithm, which for a set $X$ defined…

Arithmetic quasi-densities are a large family of real-valued set functions partially defined on the power set of $\mathbb{N}$, including the asymptotic density, the Banach density, the analytic density, etc. Let $B \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ be…

In this report, we show that all n-variable Boolean function can be represented as polynomial threshold functions (PTF) with at most $0.75 \times 2^n$ non-zero integer coefficients and give an upper bound on the absolute value of these…

Suppose that $X=\{X_t, t\ge 0; \mathbb{P}_{\mu}\}$ is a supercritical superprocess in a locally compact separable metric space $E$. Let $\phi_0$ be a positive eigenfunction corresponding to the first eigenvalue $\lambda_0$ of the generator…

Solving polynomial systems arising from applications is frequently made easier by the structure of the systems. Weighted homogeneity (or quasi-homogeneity) is one example of such a structure: given a system of weights…

We describe some sufficient conditions, under which smooth and compactly supported functions are or are not dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$ for an open, bounded set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$. The density property…

Given a nonnegative function $\psi : \N \to \R $, let $W(\psi)$ denote the set of real numbers $x$ such that $|nx -a| < \psi(n) $ for infinitely many reduced rationals $a/n (n>0) $. A consequence of our main result is that $W(\psi)$ is of…

We develop an analytic approach that draws on tools from Fourier analysis and ergodic theory to study Ramsey-type problems involving sums and products in the integers. Suppose $Q$ denotes a polynomial with integer coefficients. We establish…

Let $(X,\mu)$ be a probability space equipped with an invertible, measure-preserving transformation $T\colon X \to X$. We exhibit a wide class of weights $w$ so that whenever $f,g \in L^{\infty}(X)$, the bilinear ergodic averages \[…
