This paper describes a recursive estimation procedure for multivariate binary densities (probability distributions of vectors of Bernoulli random variables) using orthogonal expansions. For $d$ covariates, there are $2^d$ basis coefficients…

A consequence of de Finetti's representation theorem is that for every infinite sequence of exchangeable 0-1 random variables $(X_k)_{k\geq1}$, there exists a probability measure $\mu$ on the Borel sets of $[0,1]$ such that $\bar X_n =…

We consider an \eps-approximation by n-term partial sums of the Karhunen-Lo\`eve expansion to d-parametric random fields of tensor product-type in the average case setting. We investigate the behavior, as d tends to infinity, of the…

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety, defined over the rationals. This paper gives upper bounds for the number of rational points on $X$, with height at most $B$, for the case in which $X$ is a curve or a surface. In the latter case one excludes…

Let X_{d,n} be an n-element subset of {0,1}^d chosen uniformly at random, and denote by P_{d,n} := conv X_{d,n} its convex hull. Let D_{d,n} be the density of the graph of P_{d,n} (i.e., the number of one-dimensional faces of P_{d,n}…

Let $X_1,X_2, \ldots $ be independent random uniform points in a bounded domain $A \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with smooth boundary. Define the coverage threshold $R_n$ to be the smallest $r$ such that $A$ is covered by the balls of radius $r$…

Consider a quadratic polynomial $f\left(\xi_{1},\dots,\xi_{n}\right)$ of independent Bernoulli random variables. What can be said about the concentration of $f$ on any single value? This generalises the classical Littlewood--Offord problem,…

Let $G_n$ be a random geometric graph with vertex set $[n]$ based on $n$ i.i.d.\ random vectors $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ drawn from an unknown density $f$ on $\R^d$. An edge $(i,j)$ is present when $\|X_i -X_j\| \le r_n$, for a given threshold…

We characterize the sets of solvability for Hermite multivariate interpolation problems when the sum of multiplicities is at most $2n + 2$, with $n$ the degree of the polynomial space. This result extends an earlier theorem (2000) by one of…

For a sample of absolutely bounded i.i.d. random variables with a continuous density the cumulative distribution function of the sample variance is represented by a univariate integral over a Fourier series. If the density is a polynomial…

Developing an idea of M. Gromov, we study the intersection formula for random subsets with density. The \textit{density} of a subset $A$ in a finite set $E$ is defined by $dens A := \log_{|E|}(|A|)$. The aim of this article is to give a…

We present a direct and fairly simple proof of the following incidence bound: Let $P$ be a set of $m$ points and $L$ a set of $n$ lines in ${\mathbb R}^d$, for $d\ge 3$, which lie in a common algebraic two-dimensional surface of degree $D$…

We study a pinned variant of Bourgain's theorem, concerning the occurrence of affine copies of $k$-point patterns in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Focusing on the case $k=2$, which corresponds to pinned distances, we show that the classical conclusion…

We prove almost tight bounds on incidences between points and $k$-dimensional varieties of bounded degree in $\R^d$. Our main tools are the Polynomial Ham Sandwich Theorem and induction on both the dimension and the number of points.

In this paper, an intersection theory for generic differential polynomials is presented. The intersection of an irreducible differential variety of dimension $d$ and order $h$ with a generic differential hypersurface of order $s$ is shown…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic not 2 or 3. We establish polynomial lower bounds on the ambient dimension $N$ for an intersection $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$ of quadrics, cubics and quartics to have a dense collection of solvable points,…

We obtain asymptotic bounds on the number of natural numbers less than $X$ satisfying $\gcd{\left(n,\lfloor P(n) \rfloor\right)}=1$, under some diophantine conditions on the coefficient of $x$ in $P$, and show that the density of such…

Let K(X) be the collection of all non-zero finite dimensional subspaces of rational functions on an n-dimensional irreducible variety X. For any n-tuple L_1,..., L_n in K(X), we define an intersection index [L_1,..., L_n] as the number of…

The phenomenon of superconvergence is proved for all freely infinitely divisible distributions. Precisely, suppose that the partial sums of a sequence of free identically distributed, infinitesimal random variables converge in distribution…
