Spectrum of a first order sentence is the set of all $\alpha$ such that $G(n, n^{-\alpha})$ does not obey zero-one law w.r.t. this sentence. We have proved that the minimal number of quantifier alternations of a first order sentence with an…

Data complexity is an important concept in the natural sciences and related areas, but lacks a rigorous and computable definition. In this paper, we focus on a particular sense of complexity that is high if the data is structured in a way…

In image and audio signal classification, a major problem is to build stable representations that are invariant under rigid motions and, more generally, to small diffeomorphisms. Translation invariant representations of signals in…

We provide another approach to Friedland's result that the topological entropy $h$ of a symmetric nearest-neighbor subshift is computable. Instead of the previous algebraic technique, our approach is mostly combinatorial and involves only…

Power functions with low $c$-differential uniformity have been widely studied not only because of their strong resistance to multiplicative differential attacks, but also low implementation cost in hardware. Furthermore, the…

In this paper we introduce a framework to prove tightness of a sequence of discrete Gibbsian line ensembles $\mathcal{L}^N = \{\mathcal{L}_k^N(x), k \in \mathbb{N}, x \in \frac{1}{N}\mathbb{Z}\}$, which is a collection of countable random…

We study abstract finite groups with the property, called property $\hat{s}$, that all of their subrepresentations have submultiplicative spectra. Such groups are necessarily nilpotent and we focus on $p$-groups. $p$-groups with property…

In this paper, we study discrete spectrum of invariant measures for countable discrete amenable group actions. We show that an invariant measure has discrete spectrum if and only if it has bounded measure complexity. We also prove that,…

For a text given in advance, the substring minimal suffix queries ask to determine the lexicographically minimal non-empty suffix of a substring specified by the location of its occurrence in the text. We develop a data structure answering…

Sparse representation over redundant dictionaries constitutes a good model for many classes of signals (e.g., patches of natural images, segments of speech signals, etc.). However, despite its popularity, very little is known about the…

We introduce a method for proving lower bounds on the efficacy of semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations for combinatorial problems. In particular, we show that the cut, TSP, and stable set polytopes on $n$-vertex graphs are not the…

We present a complete computational tabulation of all 961,619,972 P-positions in 4xn Chomp for n <= 3000, obtained via a new O(n^4) shadow-array sieve that replaces the O(n^5) hash-set approach of prior work. Three structural results are…

We bound the number of distinct minimal subsystems of a given transitive subshift of linear complexity, continuing work of Ormes and Pavlov [7]. We also bound the number of generic measures such a subshift can support based on its…

We develop a new technique for constructing sparse graphs that allow us to prove near-linear lower bounds on the round complexity of computing distances in the CONGEST model. Specifically, we show an $\widetilde{\Omega}(n)$ lower bound for…

Given a countable set X (usually taken to be N or Z), an infinite permutation $\pi$ of X is a linear ordering $<_\pi$ of X. This paper investigates the combinatorial complexity of infinite permutations on N associated with the image of…

We derive an information-theoretic lower bound for sample complexity in sparse recovery problems where inputs can be chosen sequentially and adaptively. This lower bound is in terms of a simple mutual information expression and unifies many…

The spectrum of a finite group is the set of its elements orders. Groups are said to be isospectral if their spectra coincide. For every finite simple exceptional group $L=E_7(q)$, we prove that each finite group isospectral to $L$ is…

We show that for a subset $A$ of the cyclic group of prime order $p>3$, if the sumset $A+A-2A$ is not the whole group, then $|A|\le \frac27\,p$. Besides combinatorial arguments, we utilize a general technique involving linear programming.

Effective complexity measures the information content of the regularities of an object. It has been introduced by M. Gell-Mann and S. Lloyd to avoid some of the disadvantages of Kolmogorov complexity, also known as algorithmic information…

Given a finite alphabet $\Sigma$ and a right-infinite word $\bf w$ over $\Sigma$, we define the Lie complexity function $L_{\bf w}:\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{N}$, whose value at $n$ is the number of conjugacy classes (under cyclic shift) of…
