For any constant $d$ and parameter $\varepsilon > 0$, we show the existence of (roughly) $1/\varepsilon^d$ orderings on the unit cube $[0,1)^d$, such that any two points $p,q\in [0,1)^d$ that are close together under the Euclidean metric…
We present concrete constructions of discrete sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\ge 2$) that intersect every aligned box of volume $1$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and which have optimal growth rate $O(T^d)$.
The aims of this paper are twofold. First, it discusses the Littlewood conjecture and its variants with respect to uniformly distributed sequences. The second aim is to determine the exact order of the discrepancy of the van der…
We consider a problem of dispersing points on disjoint intervals on a line. Given n pairwise disjoint intervals sorted on a line, we want to find a point in each interval such that the minimum pairwise distance of these points is maximized.…
From each point of a Poisson point process start growing a balloon at rate 1. When two balloons touch, they pop and disappear. Is every point contained in balloons infinitely often or not? We answer this for the Euclidean space, the…
In a projective plane $\Pi _{q}$ (not necessarily Desarguesian) of order $q,$ a point subset $S$ is saturating (or dense) if any point of $\Pi _{q}\setminus S$ is collinear with two points in$~S$. Using probabilistic methods, the following…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, its unit-disk graph $G(P)$ is a graph with $P$ as its vertex set such that two points of $P$ are connected by an edge if their (Euclidean) distance is at most $1$. We consider several classical…
It is well known that in 1D the cross section of a point scatterer increases along with the scatterer's strength (potential). In this paper we show that this is an exceptional case, and in all the other cases, where a point defect has a…
In this paper, we consider the following $k$-dispersion problem. Given a set $S$ of $n$ points placed in the plane in a convex position, and an integer $k$ ($0<k<n$), the objective is to compute a subset $S'\subset S$ such that $|S'|=k$ and…
We approximate intersection numbers $\big\langle \psi_1^{d_1}\cdots \psi_n^{d_n}\big\rangle_{g,n}$ on Deligne-Mumford's moduli space $\overline{\mathcal M}_{g,n}$ of genus $g$ stable complex curves with $n$ marked points by certain…
We study a higher-dimensional analogue of the {Random Travelling Salesman Problem}: let the complete $d$-dimensional simplicial complex $K_n^{d}$ on $n$ vertices be equipped with i.i.d.\ volumes on its facets, uniformly random in $[0,1]$.…
We investigate the average minimum cost of a bipartite matching between two samples of n independent random points uniformly distributed on a unit cube in d $\ge$ 3 dimensions, where the matching cost between two points is given by any…
We address several extremal problems concerning the spreading property of point sets of Steiner triple systems. This property is closely related to the structure of subsystems, as a set is spreading if and only if there is no proper…
We study a random partial covering model on the $(d-1)$-dimensional unit sphere, where $N$ spherical caps are placed independently and uniformly at random, each covering a surface fraction of $1/N$. This model provides a continuous…
We prove that a typical compact set does not contain any similar copy of a given pattern. We also prove that a typical compact set of $[0,1]^{d} (d\geq 2)$ intersects any $(d-1)$-dimensional plane in at most $d$ points. We study the…
This paper is concerned with Lagrange interpolation by total degree polynomials in moderate dimensions. In particular, we are interested in characterising the optimal choice of points for the interpolation problem, where we define the…
It is proved that the projection constants of two- and three-dimensional spaces are bounded by $4/3$ and $(1+\sqrt 5)/2$, respectively. These bounds are attained precisely by the spaces whose unit balls are the regular hexagon and…
The influence of a small relative density difference on the displacement of two miscible liquids is studied experimentally in transparent 2D networks of micro channels. Both stable displacements in which the denser fluid enters at the…
The aim of the present article is to introduce a concept which allows to generalise the notion of Poissonian pair correlation, a second-order equidistribution property, to higher dimensions. Roughly speaking, in the one-dimensional setting,…
While the mathematical foundations of score-based generative models are increasingly well understood for unconstrained Euclidean spaces, many practical applications involve data restricted to bounded domains. This paper provides a…
