We propose a simple yet very predictive form, based on a Poisson's equation, for the functional dependence of the cost from the density of points in the Euclidean bipartite matching problem. This leads, for quadratic costs, to the analytic…
We propose a new approach for the study of the quadratic stochastic Euclidean bipartite matching problem between two sets of $N$ points each, $N\gg 1$. The points are supposed independently randomly generated on a domain…

We analyze the random Euclidean bipartite matching problem on the hypertorus in $d$ dimensions with quadratic cost and we derive the two--point correlation function for the optimal matching, using a proper ansatz introduced by Caracciolo et…
We study the random-link matching problem on random regular graphs, alongside with two relaxed versions of the problem, namely the fractional matching and the so-called "loopy" fractional matching. We estimated the asymptotic average…
We compute exact second-order asymptotics for the cost of an optimal solution to the entropic optimal transport problem in the continuous-to-discrete, or semi-discrete, setting. In contrast to the discrete-discrete or continuous-continuous…
We consider the entropy of the solution to the heat equation on a Riemannian manifold. When the manifold is compact, we provide two estimates on the rate of change of the entropy in terms of the lower bound on the Ricci curvature and the…
By application of the theory for second-order linear differential equations with two turning points developed in [Olver F.W.J., Philos. Trans. Roy. Soc. London Ser. A 278 (1975), 137-174], uniform asymptotic approximations are obtained in…

We consider models of assignment for random $N$ blue points and $N$ red points on an interval of length $2N$, in which the cost for connecting a blue point in $x$ to a red point in $y$ is the concave function $|x-y|^p$, for $0<p<1$.…
We study an expansion method for high-dimensional parabolic PDEs which constructs accurate approximate solutions by decomposition into solutions to lower-dimensional PDEs, and which is particularly effective if there are a low number of…
The self-consistent expansion (SCE) is a powerful technique for obtaining perturbative solutions to problems in statistical physics but it suffers from a subtle problem - too much freedom! The SCE can be used to generate an enormous number…
Given 2D point correspondences between an image pair, inferring the camera motion is a fundamental issue in the computer vision community. The existing works generally set out from the epipolar constraint and estimate the essential matrix,…

Estimation and prediction problems for dense signals are often framed in terms of minimax problems over highly symmetric parameter spaces. In this paper, we study minimax problems over l2-balls for high-dimensional linear models with…
We analyze the mean cost of the partial match queries in random two-dimensional quadtrees. The method is based on fragmentation theory. The convergence is guaranteed by a coupling argument of Markov chains, whereas the value of the limit is…

Asymptotics of the variances of many cost measures in random digital search trees are often notoriously messy and involved to obtain. A new approach is proposed to facilitate such an analysis for several shape parameters on random symmetric…
