We give conditions for $k$-point configuration sets of thin sets to have nonempty interior, applicable to a wide variety of configurations. This is a continuation of our earlier work \cite{GIT19} on 2-point configurations, extending a…

We show for a compact set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d \geq 4$, that if the Hausdorff dimension of $E$ is larger than $\frac{2}{3}d+1$, then the set of congruence classes of triangles formed by triples of points of $E$ has nonempty…

In this paper we show that if a compact set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d \geq 3$, has Hausdorff dimension greater than $\frac{(4k-1)}{4k}d+\frac{1}{4}$ when $3 \leq d<\frac{k(k+3)}{(k-1)}$ or $d- \frac{1}{k-1}$ when $\frac{k(k+3)}{(k-1)}…

Let $A$ be a compact set in $\mathbb{R}$, and $E=A^d\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. We know from the Mattila-Sj\"olin's theorem if $\dim_H(A)>\frac{d+1}{2d}$, then the distance set $\Delta(E)$ has non-empty interior. In this paper, we show that the…

It is known that if a compact set $E$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ has Hausdorff dimension greater than $(d+1)/2$, then its $n$-chain distance set $$\Delta^n(E) = \left\{\left(\left|x^1-x^2\right|,\cdots, \left|x^{n}- x^{n+1}\right|\right)\in…

A theorem of Steinhaus states that if $E\subset \mathbb R^d$ has positive Lebesgue measure, then the difference set $E-E$ contains a neighborhood of $0$. Similarly, if $E$ merely has Hausdorff dimension $\dim_{\mathcal H}(E)>(d+1)/2$, a…

We introduce a class of Falconer distance problems, which we call of restricted type, lying between the classical version and its pinned variant. Prototypical restricted distance sets are the diagonal distance sets, $k$-point configuration…

Let $E \subseteq R^n$ be a closed set of Hausdorff dimension $\alpha$. For $m \geq n$, let $\{B_1,\ldots,B_k\}$ be $n \times (m-n)$ matrices. We prove that if the system of matrices $B_j$ is non-degenerate in a suitable sense, $\alpha$ is…

We prove that for any $1 \le k<n$ and $s\le 1$, the union of any nonempty $s$-Hausdorff dimensional family of $k$-dimensional affine subspaces of ${\mathbb R}^n$ has Hausdorff dimension $k+s$. More generally, we show that for any $0 <…

In this paper we extend the results of Radloff and Schwabe (2018), which could be applied for example to Poisson regression, negative binomial regression and proportional hazard models with censoring, to a wider class of non-linear multiple…

We study the interior nodal sets, $Z_\lambda$ of Steklov eigenfunctions in an $n$-dimensional relatively compact manifolds $M$ with boundary and show that one has the lower bounds $|Z_\lambda|\ge c\lambda^{\frac{2-n}2}$ for the size of its…

We propose a general random subspace framework for unconstrained nonconvex optimization problems that requires a weak probabilistic assumption on the subspace gradient, which we show to be satisfied by various random matrix ensembles, such…

We introduce new parametrized classes of shape admissible domains in R^n , n $\ge$ 2, and prove that they are compact with respect to the convergence in the sense of characteristic functions, the Hausdorff sense, the sense of compacts and…

Let $1 \leq k \leq d$ and consider a subset $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. In this paper, we study the problem of how large the Hausdorff dimension of $E$ must be in order for the set of distinct noncongruent $k$-simplices in $E$ (that is,…

We generalize a result of McDonald and Taylor which concerns the size of the tuples of edge lengths in the set $C_1 \times C_2$ utilizing the notion of thickness. Specifically, we show that $C_1, C_2 \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ compact sets with…

Many economic parameters are identified by ``thin sets'' (submanifolds with Lebesgue measure zero) and hence difficult to recover from data in an ambient space. This paper provides a unified theory for estimation and inference of such…

For a compact set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$, consider the pinned distance set $\Delta^{y}(E)=\lbrace |x-y| : x\in E\rbrace$. Peres and Schlag showed that if the Hausdorff dimension of $E$ is bigger than $\frac{d+2}{2}$ with $d\geq…

We extend a result, due to Mattila and Sjolin, which says that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set $E \subset {\Bbb R}^d$, $d \ge 2$, is greater than $\frac{d+1}{2}$, then the distance set $\Delta(E)=\{|x-y|: x,y \in E \}$ contains…

In a recent paper, Chan, \L aba, and Pramanik investigated geometric configurations inside thin subsets of the Euclidean set possessing measures with Fourier decay properties. In this paper we ask which configurations can be found inside…

The main result of this paper is the following. Given countably many multivariate polynomials with rational coefficients and maximum degree $d$, we construct a compact set $E\subset \R^n$ of Hausdorff dimension $n/d$ which does not contain…
