This thesis consists of two independent parts: random matrices, which form the first one-third of this thesis, and machine learning, which constitutes the remaining part. The main results of this thesis are as follows: a necessary and…
The moment problem in probability theory asks for criteria for when there exists a unique measure with a given tuple of moments. We study a variant of this problem for random objects in a category, where a moment is given by the average…
A "mysterious" relation between the number variance and the variance of the $L$-th ordered eigenvalue, first suggested by French et al. [Ann. Phys. 113, 277 (1978)], is revisited and proven to be asymptotically exact for the $\beta=2$ Dyson…
We establish a criterion for the existence of a representing Radon measure for linear functionals defined on a unital commutative real algebra $A$, which we assume to be generated by a vector space $V$ endowed with a Hilbertian seminorm…
This paper investigates the stochastic Ricker difference equation $X_{n+1} = X_n \exp(r(1-X_n)) \varepsilon_n$, where $X_n$ is a random variable representing the population size and $\{\varepsilon_n\}$ denotes independent random…
Consider the quadratic form $\beta = {\bf y}^* ({\bf YY}^* + \rho {\bf I})^{-1} {\bf y}$ where $\rho$ is a positive number, where ${\bf y}$ is a random vector and ${\bf Y}$ is a $N \times K$ random matrix both having independent elements…
Determinantal polynomials play a crucial role in semidefinite programming problems. Helton-Vinnikov proved that real zero (RZ) bivariate polynomials are determinantal. However, it leads to a challenging problem to compute such a…
This paper explores some sufficient conditions for the enhanced solvability of strong vector equilibrium problems, which can be established via a variational approach. Enhanced solvability here means existence of solutions, which are strong…
This manuscript transfers the main aspects of Prony's method from finitely-supported measures to the classes of signed or non-negative measures supported on algebraic varieties of any dimension. In particular, we show that the Zariski…
The scaled standard Wigner matrix (symmetric with mean zero, variance one i.i.d. entries), and its limiting eigenvalue distribution, namely the semi-circular distribution, has attracted much attention. The $2k$th moment of the limit equals…
We investigate the values of the Riemann zeta function at odd integers and the Dirichlet beta function at even integers, by collecting several distinct analytic frameworks converging to these values, thus providing a unifying perspective.…
We give a version of the Riesz-Haviland theorem for truncated moments problems, characterizing the existence of the representing measures that are absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. The existence of such…
Let $W_N(\beta) = \mathrm{E}_0\left[e^{ \sum_{n=1}^N \beta \omega(n,S_n) - N\beta^2/2}\right]$ be the partition function of a two-dimensional directed polymer in a random environment, where $\omega(i,x), i\in \mathbb{N}, x\in \mathbb{Z}^2$…
The goal of this paper is to understand the complexity of symmetry breaking problems, specifically maximal independent set (MIS) and the closely related $\beta$-ruling set problem, in two computational models suited for large-scale graph…
We obtain for the Kempner series (i.e. harmonic series where certain digits are excluded from all denominators, for example the digit 9 in base 10) new representations as geometrically convergent series. The coefficients for these…
The classical Truncated Moment problem asks for necessary and sufficient conditions so that a linear functional $L$ on $\mathcal{P}_{d}$, the vector space of real $n$-variable polynomials of degree at most $d$, can be written as integration…
While any symmetric and positive semidefinite mapping can be the non-centered covariance of a Gaussian random field, it is known that these conditions are no longer sufficient when the random field is valued in a two-point set. The question…
Correlated proportions appear in many real-world applications and present a unique challenge in terms of finding an appropriate probabilistic model due to their constrained nature. The bivariate beta is a natural extension of the well-known…
For the truncated multidimensional moment problem we introduce a notion of a canonical solution. Namely, canonical solutions are those solutions which are generated by commuting self-adjoint extensions inside the associated Hilbert space.…
For an $N \times T$ random matrix $X(\beta)$ with weakly dependent uniformly sub-Gaussian entries $x_{it}(\beta)$ that may depend on a possibly infinite-dimensional parameter $\beta\in \mathbf{B}$, we obtain a uniform bound on its operator…
