We give a new lower bound for the minimal dispersion of a point set in the unit cube and its inverse function in the high dimension regime. This is done by considering only a very small class of test boxes, which allows us to reduce…
We present some upper bounds on the size of non-linear codes and their restriction to systematic codes and linear codes. These bounds are independent of other known theoretical bounds, e.g. the Griesmer bound, the Johnson bound or the…
We investigate the stabilizability of linear discrete-time switched systems with singular matrices, focusing on the spectral radius in this context. A new lower bound of the stabilizability radius is proposed, which is applicable to any…
A new $Z$-eigenvalue localization set for tensors is given and proved to be tighter than those presented by Wang \emph{et al}. (Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems Series B 22(1): 187-198, 2017) and Zhao (J. Inequal. Appl., to appear,…
The eigenproblem of low-rank updated matrices are of crucial importance in many applications. Recently, an upper bound on the number of distinct eigenvalues of a perturbed matrix was established. The result can be applied to estimate the…
We give an improved lower bound for the $L_2$-discrepancy of finite point sets in the unit square.
The nonnegative rank of a nonnegative matrix $X$ is the smallest number of nonnegative rank-one factors that sum to $X$. Since computing the nonnegative rank is NP-hard, it is common to circumvent this issue by computing lower and upper…
We introduce linear programs encoding regular expressions of finite languages. We show that, given a language, the optimum value of the associated linear program is a lower bound on the size of any regular expression of the language.…
In this note, we improve the lower bounds for the maximum size of the $k$th largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph for several values of $k$. In particular, we show that closed blowups of the icosahedral graph improve the…
We present a new improvement on the laser method for designing fast matrix multiplication algorithms. The new method further develops the recent advances by [Duan, Wu, Zhou FOCS 2023] and [Vassilevska Williams, Xu, Xu, Zhou SODA 2024].…
Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix with i.i.d. entries of zero mean, unit variance and a bounded subgaussian moment. We show that the condition number $s_{\max}(A)/s_{\min}(A)$ satisfies the small ball probability estimate $${\mathbb…
We generalise Zhang's and Pintz recent results on bounded prime gaps to give a lower bound for the the number of prime pairs bounded by 6*10^7 in the short interval $[x,x+x (\log x)^{-A}]$. Our result follows only by analysing Zhang's proof…
I revisit the condition number of computing left and right singular subspaces from [J.-G. Sun, Perturbation analysis of singular subspaces and deflating subspaces, Numer. Math. 73(2), pp. 235--263, 1996]. For real and complex matrices, I…
Let $Q_n$ be a random $n\times n$ matrix with entries in $\{0,1\}$ whose rows are independent vectors of exactly $n/2$ zero components. We show that the smallest singular value $s_n(Q_n)$ of $Q_n$ satisfies \[ \mathbb{P}\Big\{s_n(Q_n)\le…
Pseudoline arrangements are fundamental objects in discrete and computational geometry, and different works have tackled the problem of improving the known bounds on the number of simple arrangements of $n$ pseudolines over the past…
A recent continuous family of multiplicity functions on local rings was introduced by Taylor interpolating between Hilbert-Samuel and Hilbert-Kunz multiplicities. The obvious goal is to use this as a tool for deforming results from one to…
Let A and B be two finite subsets of a field F. In this paper we provide a nontrivial lower bound for |{a+b: a in A, b in B, and P(a,b) not=0}| where $P(x,y)\in F[x,y]$.
We prove explicit lower bounds for the smallest singular value and upper bounds for the condition number of rectangular, multivariate Vandermonde matrices with scattered nodes on the complex unit circle. Analogously to the Shannon-Nyquist…
We present a new lower bound on the number of contingency tables, improving upon and extending previous lower bounds by Barvinok and Gurvits. As an application, we obtain new lower bounds on the volumes of flow and transportation polytopes.…
We give lower bounds for the first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue on connected graphs. These bounds depend on the extrinsic diameter of the boundary and not on the diameter of the graph. We obtain a lower bound which is sharp when the cardinal…
