False theta functions form a family of functions with intriguing modular properties and connections to mock modular forms. In this paper, we take the first step towards investigating modular transformations of higher rank false theta…
Over the last two decades, network theory has shown to be a fruitful paradigm in understanding the organization and functioning of real-world complex systems. One technique helpful to this endeavor is identifying functionally influential…
The standard greedy algorithm has been recently shown to enjoy approximation guarantees for constrained non-submodular nondecreasing set function maximization. While these recent results allow to better characterize the empirical success of…
We consider a family of random locations, called intrinsic location functionals, of periodic stationary processes. This family includes but is not limited to the location of the path supremum and first/last hitting times. We first show that…
Entrywise functions preserving the cone of positive semidefinite matrices have been studied by many authors, most notably by Schoenberg [Duke Math. J. 9, 1942] and Rudin [Duke Math. J. 26, 1959]. Following their work, it is well-known that…
We consider the space of matrices, with given number of rows and of columns, equipped with the classic trace scalar product. With any matrix (source) norm, we associate a coupling, called Capra, between the space of matrices and itself.…
Hypergraphs are structures that can be decomposed or described; in other words they are recursively countable. Here, we get exact and asymptotic enumeration results on hypergraphs by means of exponential generating functions. The number of…
It is shown that the Whitney function of a representable q-matroid and the collection of all higher weight enumerators of any representing rank-metric code determine each other via a monomial substitution. Moreover, the q-matroid itself and…
We show for each positive integer $a$ that, if $\cM$ is a minor-closed class of matroids not containing all rank-$(a+1)$ uniform matroids, then there exists an integer $n$ such that either every rank-$r$ matroid in $\cM$ can be covered by…
Recently defined expectile regions capture the idea of centrality with respect to a multivariate distribution, but fail to describe the tail behavior while it is not at all clear what should be understood by a tail of a multivariate…
We show for each positive integer $a$ that, if $\mathcal{M}$ is a minor-closed class of matroids not containing all rank-$(a+1)$ uniform matroids, then there exists an integer $c$ such that either every rank-$r$ matroid in $\mathcal{M}$ can…
We consider the problem of characterizing entrywise functions that preserve the cone of positive definite matrices when applied to every off-diagonal element. Our results extend theorems of Schoenberg [Duke Math. J. 9], Rudin [Duke Math. J.…
An Ingletonian polymatroid satisfies, in addition to the polymatroid axioms, the inequalities of Ingleton (Combin. Math. Appln., 1971). These inequalities are required for a polymatroid to be representable. It is has been an open question…
It is possible to write the indicator function of any matroid polytope as an integer combination of indicator functions of Schubert matroid polytopes. In this way, every matroid on $n$ elements of rank $r$ can be thought of as a lattice…
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…
Gross substitutability is a central concept in Economics and is connected to important notions in Discrete Convex Analysis, Number Theory and the analysis of Greedy algorithms in Computer Science. Many different characterizations are known…
We establish upper and lower bounds for the metric entropy and bracketing entropy of the class of $d$-dimensional bounded monotonic functions under $L^p$ norms. It is interesting to see that both the metric entropy and bracketing entropy…
We define the rank-metric zeta function of a code as a generating function of its normalized $q$-binomial moments. We show that, as in the Hamming case, the zeta function gives a generating function for the weight enumerators of rank-metric…
We define a ring whose elements are rational functions, whose addition is polynomial multiplication, and whose multiplication is a convolution operation. It is then show that this ring's endomorphisms exhibit a strong classification.…
In problems involving approximation, completion, denoising, dimension reduction, estimation, interpolation, modeling, order reduction, regression, etc, we argue that the near-universal practice of assuming that a function, matrix, or tensor…
