Eigenmaps are important in analysis, geometry, and machine learning, especially in nonlinear dimension reduction. Approximation of the eigenmaps of a Laplace operator depends crucially on the scaling parameter $\epsilon$. If $\epsilon$ is…

Sparse linear regression -- finding an unknown vector from linear measurements -- is now known to be possible with fewer samples than variables, via methods like the LASSO. We consider the multiple sparse linear regression problem, where…

Motivated by problems in optimization we study the sparsity of the solutions to systems of linear Diophantine equations and linear integer programs, i.e., the number of non-zero entries of a solution, which is often referred to as the…

We give a short proof of the sharp weighted bound for sparse operators that holds for all $p$, $1<p<\infty$. By recent developments this implies the bounds hold for any Calder\'on-Zygmund operator. The novelty of our approach is that we…

We show that the method in recent work of Roncal, Shrivastava, and Shuin can be adapted to show that certain $L^p$-improving bounds in the interior of the boundedness region for the bilinear spherical or triangle averaging operator imply…

We consider a general high-dimensional additive hazard model in a non-asymptotic setting, including regression for censored-data. In this context, we consider a Lasso estimator with a fully data-driven $\ell_1$ penalization, which is tuned…
