The Orthogonal Vectors problem ($\textsf{OV}$) asks: given $n$ vectors in $\{0,1\}^{O(\log n)}$, are two of them orthogonal? $\textsf{OV}$ is easily solved in $O(n^2 \log n)$ time, and it is a central problem in fine-grained complexity:…

We define sets of orthogonal polynomials satisfying the additional constraint of a vanishing average. These are of interest, for example, for the study of the Hohenberg-Kohn functional for electronic or nucleonic densities and for the study…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be an undirected unweighted planar graph. Consider a vector storing the distances from an arbitrary vertex $v$ to all vertices $S = \{ s_1 , s_2 , \ldots , s_k \}$ of a single face in their cyclic order. The pattern of $v$ is…

Matrix polynomials given in an orthogonal basis are considered. Following the ideas of Mackey et al. "Vector spaces of Linearizations for Matrix Polynomials" (2006), the vec- tor spaces, called M1(P), M2(P) and DM(P), of potential…

The problem of calculating exact lower bounds for the number of $k$-faces of $d$-polytopes with $n$ vertices, for each value of $k$, and characterising the minimisers, has recently been solved for $n\le2d$. We establish the corresponding…

For $g < n$, let $b\_1,...,b\_{n-g}$ be $n - g$ independent vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with a common distribution invariant by rotation. Considering these vectors as a basis for the Euclidean lattice they generate, the aim of this paper is…

Specializing the $\gamma$-basis for the vector space $\mathcal{G}(n,r)$ spanned by the set of symbols on bit sequences with $r$ $1$'s and $n-r$ $0$'s, we obtain a frame or spanning set for the vector space $\mathcal{T}(n,r)$ spanned by…

We consider Cantor measures on the line, with contraction factor $N^{-1}=p^{-\alpha}$ (where $p$ a positive prime, $\alpha$ a positive integer) and $m$ positive integer digits lying in distinct residue classes modulo $N$. We obtain a…

For every $0<s\leq 1$ we construct $s$-dimensional Salem measures in the unit interval that do not admit any Fourier frame. Our examples are generic for each $s$, including all existing types of Salem measures in the literature: random…

The core of this note is the observation that links between circle packings of graphs and potential theory developed in \cite{BeSc01} and \cite{HS} can be extended to higher dimensions. In particular, it is shown that every limit of finite…

Let $\mathcal F_0=\{f_i\}_{i\in\mathbb{I}_{n_0}}$ be a finite sequence of vectors in $\mathbb C^d$ and let $\mathbf{a}=(a_i)_{i\in\mathbb{I}_k}$ be a finite sequence of positive numbers. We consider the completions of $\cal F_0$ of the form…

We establish lower semi-continuity and strict convexity of the energy functionals for a large class of vector equilibrium problems in logarithmic potential theory. This in particular implies the existence and uniqueness of a minimizer for…

We present two algorithms for constructing orthonormal bases of rational function vectors with respect to a discrete inner product, and discuss how to use them for a rational approximation problem. Building on the pencil-based formulation…

We give near-tight lower bounds for the sparsity required in several dimensionality reducing linear maps. First, consider the JL lemma which states that for any set of n vectors in R there is a matrix A in R^{m x d} with m = O(eps^{-2}log…

G-frames are generalized frames which include ordinary frames, bounded invertible linear operators, as well as many recent generalizations of frames, e.g., bounded quasi-projectors and frames of subspaces. G-frames are natural…

There is a finite number $h_{n,d}$ of tight frames of $n$ distinct vectors for $\mathbb{C}^d$ which are the orbit of a vector under a unitary action of the cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}_n$. These cyclic harmonic frames (or geometrically uniform…

In this paper we report on recent results by several authors, on the spectral theory of lens spaces and orbifolds and similar locally symmetric spaces of rank one. Most of these results are related to those obtained by the authors in [IMRN…

This paper asks if the following iterative procedure approximately orthogonalizes a set of $n$ linearly independent unit vectors while preserving their span: in each iteration, access a random pair of vectors and replace one with the…

Unit-vector fields $\nvec$ on a convex polyhedron $P$ subject to tangent boundary conditions provide a simple model of nematic liquid crystals in prototype bistable displays. The equilibrium and metastable configurations correspond to…
