We study the $n$-variable Boolean functions which keep their algebraic degree unchanged when they are restricted to any (affine) hyperplane, or more generally to any affine space of a given co-dimension $k$. For cryptographic applications…

Motivated by the relation between particle shape and packing, we measure the volume fraction $\phi$ occupied by the Platonic solids which are a class of polyhedron with congruent sides, vertices and dihedral angles. Tetrahedron, cube,…

A bound for functional $\Delta(F)=\sup_{x\in\mathbb R}|F(x)-\Phi(x)|$ is obtained, which is uniform for all distribution functions $F$ of random variables with zero mean-value and unity variance. Moreover, a two-point distribution is found,…

We study Sobolev a priori estimates for the optimal transportation $T = \nabla \Phi$ between probability measures $\mu=e^{-V} \ dx$ and $\nu=e^{-W} \ dx$ on $\R^d$. Assuming uniform convexity of the potential $W$ we show that $\int \| D^2…

We study the problem of estimating a monotone function $f:\{0,1\}^d\to[0,1]$ from noisy observations at uniformly random vertices of the Boolean hypercube. As a measure of complexity for the target~$f$, we use the total $L^1$-influence…

We study Markov processes associated with stochastic differential equations, whose non-linearities are gradients of convex functionals. We prove a general result of existence of such Markov processes and a priori estimates on the transition…

We study the relationship between two measures of Boolean functions; \emph{algebraic thickness} and \emph{normality}. For a function $f$, the algebraic thickness is a variant of the \emph{sparsity}, the number of nonzero coefficients in the…

The Brunn-Minkowski inequality, applicable to bounded measurable sets $A$ and $B$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, states that $|A+B|^{1/d} \geq |A|^{1/d}+|B|^{1/d}$. Equality is achieved if and only if $A$ and $B$ are convex and homothetic sets in…

Beneitez et al. (Phys. Rev. Fluids, 8, L101901, 2023) have recently discovered a new linear "polymer diffusive instability" (PDI) in inertialess rectilinear viscoelastic shear flow using the FENE-P model when polymer stress diffusion is…

We study the most-informative Boolean function conjecture using a differential equation approach. This leads to a formulation of a functional inequality on finite-dimensional random variables. We also develop a similar inequality in the…

We consider 1-dimensional location estimation, where we estimate a parameter $\lambda$ from $n$ samples $\lambda + \eta_i$, with each $\eta_i$ drawn i.i.d. from a known distribution $f$. For fixed $f$ the maximum-likelihood estimate (MLE)…

We investigate the stability of an Fermi ball(F-ball) within the next-to-leading order approximation in the thin wall expansion. We find out that an F-ball is unstable in case that it is electrically neutral. We then find out that an…
