We show that the spectral norm of a $d$-mode real or complex symmetric tensor in $n$ variables can be computed by finding the fixed points of the corresponding polynomial map. For a generic complex symmetric tensor the number of fixed…
We construct new examples of cubic polynomials with a parabolic fixed point that cannot be approximated by Misiurewicz polynomials. In particular, such parameters admit maximal bifurcations, but do not belong to the support of the…

We investigate the minimal error in approximating a general probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ by the uniform measure on a finite set with prescribed cardinality $n$. The error is measured in the $p$-Wasserstein distance. In…
We propose a new method for smoothly interpolating probability measures using the geometry of optimal transport. To that end, we reduce this problem to the classical Euclidean setting, allowing us to directly leverage the extensive toolbox…
The halfspace depth of a $d$-dimensional point $x$ with respect to a finite (or probability) Borel measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is defined as the infimum of the $\mu$-masses of all closed halfspaces containing $x$. A natural question is…

Trigonometric polynomials are widely used for the approximation of a smooth function $f$ from a set of nonuniformly spaced samples $\{f(x_j)\}_{j=0}^{N-1}$. If the samples are perturbed by noise, controlling the smoothness of the…
Let m be a unidimensional measure with dimension d. A natural question is to ask if the measure m is comparable with the Hausdorff measure (or the packing measure) in dimension d. We give an answer (which is in general negative) to this…
Discrete Wasserstein barycenters correspond to optimal solutions of transportation problems for a set of probability measures with finite support. Discrete barycenters are measures with finite support themselves and exhibit two favorable…
The study of finite approximations of probability measures has a long history. In (Xu and Berger, 2017), the authors focus on constrained finite approximations and, in particular, uniform ones in dimension $d=1$. The present paper gives an…
Let $M$ be a connected compact Riemannian manifold possibly with a boundary, let $V\in C^2(M)$ such that $\mu(\d x):=\e^{V(x)}\d x$ is a probability measure, where $\d x$ is the volume measure, and let $L=\Delta+\nabla V$. The exact…
We strengthen the Weierstrass approximation theorem by proving that any real-valued continuous function on an interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$ can be uniformly approximated by a real-valued polynomial whose only (possibly complex) critical…
We establish asymptotic upper and lower bounds for the Wasserstein distance of any order $p\ge 1$ between the empirical measure of a fractional Brownian motion on a flat torus and the uniform Lebesgue measure. Our inequalities reveal an…
