A regularity lemma for polynomials provides a decomposition in terms of a bounded number of approximately independent polynomials. Such regularity lemmas play an important role in numerous results, yet suffer from the familiar shortcoming…
Szemer\'edi's Regularity Lemma is an important tool for analyzing the structure of dense graphs. There are versions of the Regularity Lemma for sparse graphs, but these only apply when the graph satisfies some local density condition. In…
Given an arbitrary (commutative) field K, let V be a linear subspace of M_n(K) consisting of matrices of rank lesser than or equal to some r<n. A theorem of Atkinson and Lloyd states that, if dim V>nr-r+1 and #K>r, then either all the…
Matrix regularity is a key to various problems in applied mathematics. The sufficient conditions, used for checking regularity of interval parametric matrices, usually fail in case of large parameter intervals. We present necessary and…
Let G be a finite graph with the non-k-order property (essentially, a uniform finite bound on the size of an induced sub-half-graph). A major result of the paper applies model-theoretic arguments to obtain a stronger version of…
In this text we study the regularity of matrices with special polynomial entries. Barring some mild conditions we show that these matrices are regular if a natural limit size is not exceeded. The proof draws connections to generalized…
We prove an algorithmic regularity lemma for $L_p$ regular matrices $(1 < p \leq \infty),$ a class of sparse $\{0,1\}$ matrices which obey a natural pseudorandomness condition. This extends a result of Coja-Oghlan, Cooper and Frieze who…
We provide a counterexample to a recent conjecture that the minimum rank of every sign pattern matrix can be realized by a rational matrix. We use one of the equivalences of the conjecture and some results from projective geometry. As a…
We give an 'arithmetic regularity lemma' for groups definable in finite fields, analogous to Tao's 'algebraic regularity lemma' for graphs definable in finite fields. More specifically, we show that, for any $M>0$, any finite field…
The arithmetic regularity lemma for $\mathbb{F}_p^n$, proved by Green in 2005, states that given a subset $A\subseteq \mathbb{F}_p^n$, there exists a subspace $H\leq \mathbb{F}_p^n$ of bounded codimension such that $A$ is Fourier-uniform…
Let $n,p,r$ be positive integers with $n \geq p\geq r$. A rank-$\overline{r}$ subset of $n$ by $p$ matrices (with entries in a field) is a subset in which every matrix has rank less than or equal to $r$. A classical theorem of Flanders…
The aim of this paper is to give a simpler, more usable sufficient condition to the regularity of generic weakly stationary time series. Also, this condition is used to show how regular processes satisfying these sufficient conditions can…
D. J. Benson conjectures that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of a group cohomology ring is always zero. More generally he conjectures that the cohomology ring always has a system of parameters satisfying a property he calls very strong…
We determine the rank of a random matrix A over a finite field with prescribed numbers of non-zero entries in each row and column. As an application we obtain a formula for the rate of low-density parity check codes. This formula verifies a…
We introduce a permutation analogue of the celebrated Szemeredi Regularity Lemma, and derive a number of consequences. This tool allows us to provide a structural description of permutations which avoid a specified pattern, a result that…
The simplest toroidally compactified string theories exhibit a duality between large and small radii: compactification on a circle, for example, is invariant under R goes to 1/R. Compactification on more general Lorentzian lattices (i.e.…
A $0,1$ matrix is said to be regular if all of its rows and columns have the same number of ones. We prove that for infinitely many integers $k$, there exists a square regular $0,1$ matrix with binary rank $k$, such that the Boolean rank of…
In this note, we show various minimality results for a geometric theory of fields $T$: $T$ is stable if and only if it is strongly minimal, $T$ is simple if and only if it has SU-rank 1, and $T$ is rosy if and only if $T$ is surgical.…
The main results of this paper are twofold: the first one is a matrix theoretical result. We say that a matriz is superregular if all of its minors that are not trivially zero are nonzero. Given a a times b, a larger than or equal to b,…
A family of regularization functionals is said to admit a linear representer theorem if every member of the family admits minimizers that lie in a fixed finite dimensional subspace. A recent characterization states that a general class of…
