We present a complete reasoning principle for contextual equivalence in an untyped probabilistic language. The language includes continuous (real-valued) random variables, conditionals, and scoring. It also includes recursion, since the…

1. A standard Gaussian random matrix has full rank with probability 1 and is well-conditioned with a probability quite close to 1 and converging to 1 fast as the matrix deviates from square shape and becomes more rectangular. 2. If we…

Let $n$ and $s$ be fixed integers such that $n\geq 2$ and $1\leq s\leq \frac{n}{2}$. Let $M_n(\mathbb{K})$ be the ring of all $n\times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb{K}$. If a map $\delta:M_n(\mathbb{K})\rightarrow M_n(\mathbb{K})$…

In this paper, we revisit and further explore a mathematically rigorous connection between Causal inference (C-inf) and the Low-rank recovery (LRR) established in [10]. Leveraging the Random duality - Free probability theory (RDT-FPT)…

We consider the problem of exact low-rank matrix completion from a geometric viewpoint: given a partially filled matrix M, we keep the positions of specified and unspecified entries fixed, and study how the minimal completion rank depends…

We determine the rank of a random matrix A over a finite field with prescribed numbers of non-zero entries in each row and column. As an application we obtain a formula for the rate of low-density parity check codes. This formula verifies a…

Let $M$ be a $n\times m$ $(0,1)$-matrix. We define the $s$-binary rank, $br_s(M)$, of $M$ to be the minimal integer $d$ such that there are $d$ monochromatic rectangles that cover all the $1$-entries in the matrix, and each $1$-entry is…

We study the termination problem for nondeterministic recursive probabilistic programs. First, we show that a ranking-supermartingales-based approach is both sound and complete for bounded terminiation (i.e., bounded expected termination…

This paper considers theoretical analysis of recovering a low rank matrix given a few expansion coefficients with respect to any basis. The current approach generalizes the existing analysis for the low-rank matrix completion problem with…

The two-sided matrix regression model $Y = A^*X B^* +E$ aims at predicting $Y$ by taking into account both linear links between column features of $X$, via the unknown matrix $B^*$, and also among the row features of $X$, via the matrix…

The square root rank of a nonnegative matrix $A$ is the minimum rank of a matrix $B$ such that $A=B \circ B$, where $\circ$ denotes entrywise product. We show that the square root rank of the slack matrix of the correlation polytope is…

Random matrices tend to be well conditioned, and we employ this well known property to advance matrix computations. We prove that our algorithms employing Gaussian random matrices are efficient, but in our tests the algorithms have…

We discuss a new stochastic ordering for the sequence of independent random variables. It generalizes the stochastic precedence order that is defined for two random variables to the case $n>2$. All conventional stochastic orders are…

Let $d$ be a fixed large integer. For any $n$ larger than $d$, let $A_n$ be the adjacency matrix of the random directed $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices, with the uniform distribution. We show that $A_n$ has rank at least $n-1$ with…

Positive semidefinite rank (PSD-rank) is a relatively new quantity with applications to combinatorial optimization and communication complexity. We first study several basic properties of PSD-rank, and then develop new techniques for…

Referring to a standard context of voting theory, and to the classic notion of voting situation, here we show that it is possible to observe any arbitrary set of elections' outcomes, no matter how paradoxical it may appear. On this purpose…

Let $f,g\in\mathbb{C}[z]\setminus\mathbb{C}$ and $c\in\mathbb{C}[z]$. Suppose that $\mathrm{deg}(c)=1$ if $\mathrm{deg}(f)=\mathrm{deg}(g)=1$. Using the theory of Presburger arithmetic, we prove that the rank-two recurrence set…

Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ random matrix with independent identically distributed non-constant subgaussian entries. Then for any $k \le c \sqrt{n}$, \[ \text{rank}(A) \ge n-k \] with probability at least $1-\exp(-c'kn)$.

The log-rank conjecture is one of the fundamental open problems in communication complexity. It speculates that the deterministic communication complexity of any two-party function is equal to the log of the rank of its associated matrix,…

We prove that the probability $P_N$ for a real random Gaussian $N\times N\times 2$ tensor to be of real rank $N$ is $P_N=(\Gamma((N+1)/2))^N/G(N+1)$, where $\Gamma(x)$, $G(x)$ denote the gamma and Barnes $G$-functions respectively. This is…
