Suppose that two large, multi-dimensional data sets are each noisy measurements of the same underlying random process, and principle components analysis is performed separately on the data sets to reduce their dimensionality. In some…
A basic problem in constant dimension subspace coding is to determine the maximal possible size ${\bf A}_q(n,d,k)$ of a set of $k$-dimensional subspaces in ${\bf F}_q^n$ such that the subspace distance satisfies…
Dvir and Moran proved the following upper bound for the size of a family $\mbox{$\cal F$}$ of subsets of $[n]$ with $\mbox{Vdim}(\mbox{$\cal F$} \Delta \mbox{$\cal F$})\leq d$. Let $d\leq n$ be integers. Let $\mbox{$\cal F$}$ be a family of…
This study investigates the fundamental limits of variable-length compression in which prefix-free constraints are not imposed (i.e., one-to-one codes are studied) and non-vanishing error probabilities are permitted. Due in part to a…
The problem of joint universal source coding and modeling, addressed by Rissanen in the context of lossless codes, is generalized to fixed-rate lossy coding of continuous-alphabet memoryless sources. We show that, for bounded distortion…
Three $k$-dimensional subspaces $A$, $B$, and $C$ of an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$ over a finite field are called a $3$-cluster if $A \cap B \cap C = \{\mathbf{0}_V\}$ and yet $\dim(A+B+C) \leq 2k$. A special kind of $3$-cluster,…
We have discovered a new family of three-dimensional crystal sphere packings that are strictly jammed (i.e., mechanically stable) and yet possess an anomalously low density. This family constitutes an uncountably infinite number of crystal…
The Frankl or Union-Closed Sets conjecture states that for any finite union-closed family of sets $\mathcal{F}$ containing some nonempty set, there is some element $i$ in the ground set $U(\mathcal F) := \bigcup_{S \in \mathcal{F}} S$ of…
Cross-channel unlabeled sensing addresses the problem of recovering a multi-channel signal from measurements that were shuffled across channels. This work expands the cross-channel unlabeled sensing framework to signals that lie in a union…
We show that for any natural number $s$, there is a constant $\gamma$ and a subgraph-closed class having, for any natural $n$, at most $\gamma^n$ graphs on $n$ vertices up to isomorphism, but no adjacency labeling scheme with labels of size…
The setting of projective systems can be used to study the parameters of a projective linear code $\mathcal{C}$. This can be done by considering the intersections of the point set $\Omega$ defined by the columns of a generating matrix for…
Aggregate signatures are used to create one short proof of authenticity and integrity from a set of digital signatures. However, one invalid signature in the set invalidates the entire aggregate, giving no information on which signatures…
Consider families of $k$-subsets (or blocks) on a ground set of size $v$. Recall that if all $t$-subsets occur with the same frequency $\lambda$, one obtains a $t$-design with index $\lambda$. On the other hand, if all $t$-subsets occur…
For a collection of distributions over a countable support set, the worst case universal compression formulation by Shtarkov attempts to assign a universal distribution over the support set. The formulation aims to ensure that the universal…
For n >= 2 a construction is given for a large family of compact convex sets K and L in n-dimensional Euclidean space such that the orthogonal projection L_u onto the subspace u^\perp contains a translate of the corresponding projection K_u…
A set-system $S\subseteq \{0,1\}^n$ is cube-ideal if its convex hull can be described by capacity and generalized set covering inequalities. In this paper, we use combinatorics, convex geometry, and polyhedral theory to give exponential…
The three-dimensional symmetric Mahler inequality states that, for every origin-symmetric convex body \(K=-K\subset \mathbb{R}^3\), \[ \VP(K)= |K|\,|K^\circ|\geq \frac{32}{3}. \] It was recently proved by Iriyeh--Shibata \cite{IS2020}, and…
We study the maximum size of a set system on $n$ elements whose trace on any $b$ elements has size at most $k$. We show that if for some $b \ge i \ge 0$ the shatter function $f_R$ of a set system $([n],R)$ satisfies $f_R(b) < 2^i(b-i+1)$…
We address the challenge of applying existing convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures to compressed images. Existing CNN architectures represent images as a matrix of pixel intensities with a specified dimension; this desired…
A new framework is introduced for examining and evaluating the fundamental limits of lossless data compression, that emphasizes genuinely non-asymptotic results. The {\em sample complexity} of compressing a given source is defined as the…
