A fundamental problem in the study of complex networks is to provide quantitative measures of correlation and information flow between different parts of a system. To this end, several notions of communicability have been introduced and…
Alice and Bob want to know if two strings of length n are almost equal. That is, do they differ on \textit{at most} a bits? Let 0\leq a\leq n-1. We show that any deterministic protocol, as well as any error-free quantum protocol (C*…

In distributed communication, each transmitter prepares an ensemble of channel codes. To encode a message, a transmitter chooses a channel code individually without sharing the coding choice with other transmitters or with the receiver.…
In distortion-based analysis of social choice rules over metric spaces, one assumes that all voters and candidates are jointly embedded in a common metric space. Voters rank candidates by non-decreasing distance. The mechanism, receiving…
This paper considers the problem of detecting whether two databases, each consisting of $n$ users with $d$ Gaussian features, are correlated. Under the null hypothesis, the databases are independent. Under the alternate hypothesis, the…

Testing for series correlation among error terms is a basic problem in linear regression model diagnostics. The famous Durbin-Watson test and Durbin's h-test rely on certain model assumptions about the response and regressor variables. The…
We consider the problem of decentralized hypothesis testing under communication constraints in a topology where several peripheral nodes are arranged in tandem. Each node receives an observation and transmits a message to its successor, and…
Testing for the equality of two high-dimensional distributions is a challenging problem, and this becomes even more challenging when the sample size is small. Over the last few decades, several graph-based two-sample tests have been…
