Let (L,\preccurlyeq) be a finite distributive lattice, and suppose that the functions f_1,f_2:L\to R are monotone increasing with respect to the partial order \preccurlyeq. Given \mu a probability measure on L, denote by E(f_i) the average…

In this note, we present several inequalities in the context of pattern containment, utilizing elementary applications of the Fortuin-Kasteleyn-Ginibre (FKG) inequality and Shearer's lemma.
We show that a class of spin models, containing the Ashkin-Teller model, admits a generalized random-cluster (GRC) representation. Moreover we show that basic properties of the usual representation, such as FKG inequalities and comparison…

We give a general method for rounding linear programs that combines the commonly used iterated rounding and randomized rounding techniques. In particular, we show that whenever iterated rounding can be applied to a problem with some slack,…
Particle number fluctuations, no matter how small, are present in experimental set-ups. One should rigorously take these fluctuations into account, especially, for entanglement detection. In this context, we generalize the spin squeezing…
We introduce a Generalized Randomized QR-decomposition that may be applied to arbitrary products of matrices and their inverses, without needing to explicitly compute the products or inverses. This factorization is a critical part of a…

Correlation inequalities are presented for ferromagnetic Potts models with external field, using the random-cluster representation of Fortuin and Kasteleyn, together with the FKG inequality. These results extend and simplify earlier…
We use a probabilistic method to produce some combinatorial inequalities by considering pattern containment in permutations and words.
Forecasters often use common information and hence make common mistakes. We propose a new approach, Factor Graphical Model (FGM), to forecast combinations that separates idiosyncratic forecast errors from the common errors. FGM exploits the…
In this letter, we prove an inequality involving alternating binomial logarithmic sums by exploiting the variance of the logarithm of the maximum of independent and identically distributed exponential random variables. This inequality was…

We conjecture a multi-parameter generalization of the toric inequalities of \cite{Czech:2023xed}. We then extend their proof methods for the generalized toric inequalities in two ways. The first extension constructs the graph corresponding…
One challenge in fact checking is the ability to improve the transparency of the decision. We present a fact checking method that uses reference information in knowledge graphs (KGs) to assess claims and explain its decisions. KGs contain a…
Consensus clustering fuses diverse basic partitions (i.e., clustering results obtained from conventional clustering methods) into an integrated one, which has attracted increasing attention in both academic and industrial areas due to its…
We prove results concerning the representation of a given distribution by means of a given random quantity. The existence of a solution to this problem is related to the notion of conglomerability, originally introduced by Dubins to study…
