In this paper, we study sequential testing problems with \emph{overlapping} hypotheses. We first focus on the simple problem of assessing if the mean $\mu$ of a Gaussian distribution is smaller or larger than a fixed $\epsilon>0$; if…

For arbitrary $\beta > 0$, we use the orthogonal polynomials techniques developed by R. Killip and I. Nenciu to study certain linear statistics associated with the circular and Jacobi $\beta$ ensembles. We identify the distribution of these…

Experimental design is a classical statistics problem and its aim is to estimate an unknown $m$-dimensional vector $\beta$ from linear measurements where a Gaussian noise is introduced in each measurement. For the combinatorial experimental…

The aim of this paper is to give a precise asymptotic description of some eigenvalue statistics stemming from random matrix theory. More precisely, we consider random determinants of the GUE, Laguerre, Uniform Gram and Jacobi beta ensembles…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a directed graph with vertices $1,2,\ldots, 2N$. Let $\mathcal{T}=(T_{i,j})_{(i,j)\in\mathcal{G}}$ be a family of contractive similitudes. For every $1\leq i\leq N$, let $i^+:=i+N$. For $1\leq i,j\leq N$, we define…

In this paper we study analytically a simple one dimensional model of mass transport. We introduce a parameter $p$ that interpolates between continuous time dynamics ($p\to 0$ limit) and discrete parallel update dynamics ($p=1$). For each…

In the classical $\beta$-ensembles of random matrix theory, setting $\beta = 2 \alpha/N$ and taking the $N \to \infty$ limit gives a statistical state depending on $\alpha$. Using the loop equations for the classical $\beta$-ensembles, we…

We derive quantitative stability results for Minkowski bodies, as well as their counterparts, the $L_p$-Minkowski bodies in the range $1 \le p \neq n$. We prove that, for every pair of probability measures $\mu,\nu$ satisfying a…

The one parameter family of Jack(alpha) measures on partitions is an important discrete analog of Dyson's beta ensembles of random matrix theory. Except for special values of alpha=1/2,1,2 which have group theoretic interpretations, the…

Let $G$ be a connected compact group equipped with the normalised Haar measure $\mu$. Our first result shows that given $\alpha, \beta>0$, there is a constant $c = c(\alpha,\beta)>0$ such that for any compact sets $A,B\subseteq G$ with $…

In this paper, we describe a new algorithm that approximates the extreme eigenvalue/eigenvector pairs of a symmetric matrix. The proposed algorithm can be viewed as an extension of the Jacobi eigenvalue method for symmetric matrices…

We consider Kac's random walk on $n$-dimensional rotation matrices, where each step is a random rotation in the plane generated by two randomly picked coordinates. We show that this process converges to the Haar measure on $\mathit{SO}(n)$…

We study Jacobi processes $(X_{t})_{t\ge0}$ on the compact spaces $[-1,1]^N$ and on the noncompact spaces $[1,\infty[^N$ which are motivated by the Heckman-Opdam theory for the root systems of type BC and associated integrable particle…

A Bernstein type inequality is obtained for the Jacobi polynomials $P_n^{\alpha,\beta}(x)$, which is uniform for all degrees $n\ge0$, all real $\alpha,\beta\ge0$, and all values $x\in [-1,1]$. It provides uniform bounds on a complete set of…
