Given a countable dense subset $S$ of a finite-dimensional normed space $X$, and $0<p<1$, we form a random graph on $S$ by joining, independently and with probability $p$, each pair of points at distance less than $1$. We say that $S$ is…
We consider approximation algorithms for packing integer programs (PIPs) of the form $\max\{\langle c, x\rangle : Ax \le b, x \in \{0,1\}^n\}$ where $c$, $A$, and $b$ are nonnegative. We let $W = \min_{i,j} b_i / A_{i,j}$ denote the width…
Let $M_n$ be a class of symmetric sparse random matrices, with independent entries $M_{ij} = \delta_{ij} \xi_{ij}$ for $i \leq j$. $\delta_{ij}$ are i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables taking the value $1$ with probability $p \geq…
Goemans showed that any $n$ points $x_1, \dotsc x_n$ in $d$-dimensions satisfying $\ell_2^2$ triangle inequalities can be embedded into $\ell_{1}$, with worst-case distortion at most $\sqrt{d}$. We extend this to the case when the points…
We analyse the $\ell^2(\pi)$-convergence rate of irreducible and aperiodic Markov chains with $N$-band transition probability matrix $P$ and with invariant distribution $\pi$. This analysis is heavily based on: first the study of the…
Two landmark results in combinatorial random matrix theory, due to Koml\'os and Costello-Tao-Vu, show that discrete random matrices and symmetric discrete random matrices are typically nonsingular. In particular, in the language of graph…
We recently showed in [1] the superiority of certain structured coding matrices ensembles (such as partial row-orthogonal) for sparse superposition codes when compared with purely random matrices with i.i.d. entries, both…
The many variants of the restricted isometry property (RIP) have proven to be crucial theoretical tools in the fields of compressed sensing and matrix completion. The study of extending compressed sensing to accommodate phaseless…
We study the distribution of the least singular value associated to an ensemble of sparse random matrices. Our motivating example is the ensemble of $N\times N$ matrices whose entries are chosen independently from a Bernoulli distribution…
Given an independent and identically distributed source $X = \{X_i \}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ with finite Shannon entropy or differential entropy (as the case may be) $H(X)$, the non-asymptotic equipartition property (NEP) with respect to $H(X)$ is…
Spectral properties of random matrices play an important role in statistics, machine learning, communications, and many other areas. Engaging results regarding the convergence of the empirical spectral distribution (ESD) and the…
We study sparse recovery with structured random measurement matrices having independent, identically distributed, and uniformly bounded rows and with a nontrivial covariance structure. This class of matrices arises from random sampling of…
The Ridgeless minimum $\ell_2$-norm interpolator in overparametrized linear regression has attracted considerable attention in recent years in both machine learning and statistics communities. While it seems to defy conventional wisdom that…
Structures play a significant role in the field of signal processing. As a representative of structural data, low rank matrix along with its restricted isometry property (RIP) has been an important research topic in compressive signal…
We exhibit a range of $\ell ^{p}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$-improving properties for the discrete spherical maximal average in every dimension $d\geq 5$. The strategy used to show these improving properties is then adapted to establish sparse bounds,…
We obtain mproved bounds for one bit sensing. For instance, let $ K_s$ denote the set of $ s$-sparse unit vectors in the sphere $ \mathbb S ^{n}$ in dimension $ n+1$ with sparsity parameter $ 0 < s < n+1$ and assume that $ 0 < \delta < 1$.…
We study beyond worst-case dimensionality reduction for $s$-sparse vectors. Our work is divided into two parts, each focusing on a different facet of beyond worst-case analysis: We first consider average-case guarantees. A folklore upper…
This note extends an attribute of the LASSO procedure to a whole class of related procedures, including square-root LASSO, square LASSO, LAD-LASSO, and an instance of generalized LASSO. Namely, under the assumption that the input matrix…
This paper deals with the computational complexity of conditions which guarantee that the NP-hard problem of finding the sparsest solution to an underdetermined linear system can be solved by efficient algorithms. In the literature, several…
In the random geometric graph model $\mathsf{Geo}_d(n,p)$, we identify each of our $n$ vertices with an independently and uniformly sampled vector from the $d$-dimensional unit sphere, and we connect pairs of vertices whose vectors are…
