For any $\varepsilon > 0$, we prove that $k$-Dimensional Matching is hard to approximate within a factor of $k/(12 + \varepsilon)$ for large $k$ unless $\textsf{NP} \subseteq \textsf{BPP}$. Listed in Karp's 21 $\textsf{NP}$-complete…
Precision observables are well known for constraining most of the Beyond Standard Model (BSM) scenarios tightly. We present here a simple and comprehensive fitting framework for various BSM scenarios to these observables. We start with the…
The spread of a finite set of points is the ratio between the longest and shortest pairwise distances. We prove that the Delaunay triangulation of any set of n points in R^3 with spread D has complexity O(D^3). This bound is tight in the…
We prove that the number of distinct homotopy types of limits of one-parameter semi-algebraic families of closed and bounded semi-algebraic sets is bounded singly exponentially in the additive complexity of any quantifier-free first order…
We establish a new version of Siegel's lemma over a number field $k$, providing a bound on the maximum of heights of basis vectors of a subspace of $k^N$, $N \geq 2$. In addition to the small-height property, the basis vectors we obtain…
We study a generalization of the Set Cover problem called the \emph{Partial Set Cover} in the context of geometric set systems. The input to this problem is a set system $(X, \mathcal{S})$, where $X$ is a set of elements and $\mathcal{S}$…
We study the descriptive complexity of sets of points defined by placing restrictions on statistical behaviour of their orbits in dynamical systems on Polish spaces. A particular examples of such sets are the set of generic points of a…
We study the local statistics of orthogonal polynomial ensembles near a hard edge, subject to a multiplicative deformation of the measure. Probabilistically, this deformation corresponds to a position-dependent conditional thinning of the…
Since 1989, the best known lower bound on static data structures was Siegel's classical cell sampling lower bound. Siegel showed an explicit problem with $n$ inputs and $m$ possible queries such that every data structure that answers…
This work presents a numerical study of the Dirichlet problem for the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$ with $s\in(0,1)$ using Finite Element methods with non-standard bases. Classical approaches based on piece-wise linear basis yield…
The problem of establishing out-of-sample bounds for the values of an unkonwn ground-truth function is considered. Kernels and their associated Hilbert spaces are the main formalism employed herein along with an observational model where…
Many media are divided into elementary units with irregular shape and size, as exemplified by domains in magnetic materials, bubbles in foams, or cells in biological tissues. Such media are essentially characterized by geometrical disorder…
The computational cost of micromechanics for heterogeneous materials can be reduced in certain cases where symmetric boundary conditions are applicable. We derived an eighth symmetric formulation of the Generalized Method of Cells for…
We study computational limitations in \emph{multi-plant} average-case inference problems, in which $t$ disjoint planted structures of size $k$ are embedded in a random background on $n$ elements. A natural parameter in this setting is the…
This paper presents a convergence analysis of kernel-based quadrature rules in misspecified settings, focusing on deterministic quadrature in Sobolev spaces. In particular, we deal with misspecified settings where a test integrand is less…
We recall the definition of the $\epsilon$-distortion complexity of a set defined in \cite{bcc} and the results obtained in this paper for Cantor sets of the interval defined by iterated function systems. We state an analogous definition…
The Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH) is a standard assumption in (fine-grained) parameterized complexity and many tight lower bounds are based on it. We consider a number of reasonable weakenings of the SETH, with sources from (i)…
Let $A\sub \R^{n+r}$ be a set definable in an o-minimal expansion $\S$ of the real field, $A' \sub \R^r$ be its projection, and assume that the non-empty fibers $A_a \sub \R^n$ are compact for all $a \in A'$ and uniformly bounded, {\em…
A classical open problem in combinatorial geometry is to obtain tight asymptotic bounds on the maximum number of k-level vertices in an arrangement of n hyperplanes in d dimensions (vertices with exactly k of the hyperplanes passing below…
We prove a \emph{query complexity} lower bound for approximating the top $r$ dimensional eigenspace of a matrix. We consider an oracle model where, given a symmetric matrix $\mathbf{M} \in \mathbb{R}^{d \times d}$, an algorithm…
