Matrix concentration inequalities give bounds for the spectral-norm deviation of a random matrix from its expected value. These results have a weak dimensional dependence that is sometimes, but not always, necessary. This paper identifies…
Inequalities for norms of different versions of the geometric mean of two positive definite matrices are presented.
Consider a $N\times n$ matrix $\Sigma_n=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}R_n^{1/2}X_n$, where $R_n$ is a nonnegative definite Hermitian matrix and $X_n$ is a random matrix with i.i.d. real or complex standardized entries. The fluctuations of the linear…
We study the matrix discrepancy problem in the average-case setting. Given a sequence of $m \times m$ symmetric matrices $A_1,\ldots,A_n$, its discrepancy is defined as the minimal spectral norm over all signed sums $\sum_{i=1}^n x_iA_i$…
New bounds on the number of similar or directly similar copies of a pattern within a finite subset of the line or the plane are proved. The number of equilateral triangles whose vertices all lie within an $n$-point subset of the plane is…
Finite difference schemes are here solved by means of a linear matrix equation. The theoretical study of the related algebraic system is exposed, and enables us to minimize the error due to a finite difference approximation.
The goal of this paper is twofold. First, we present a unified way of formulating numerical integration problems from both approximation theory and discrepancy theory. Second, we show how techniques, developed in approximation theory, work…
We disprove a conjecture by Ye and Lim, by showing that there are $3 \times 3$ complex matrices which can't be expressed as the product of two Toeplitz matrices of the same size. We also improve previous estimates by Ye and Lim on the…
In this paper we give a full description of the inequalities that can occur between overpartition ranks. If $ \overline{N}(a,c,n) $ denotes the number of overpartitions of $ n $ with rank congruent to $ a $ modulo $ c,$ we prove that for…
It is commonly believed that the normalized gaps between consecutive ordinates $t_n$ of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line can be arbitrarily large. In particular, drawing on analogies with random matrix theory, it…
Rosser and Schoenfeld remarked that the product $\prod_{p\leq x}(1-1/p)^{-1}$ exceeds $e^{\gamma} \log x$ for all $2\leq x\leq 10^8$, and raised the question whether the difference changes sign infinitely often. This was confirmed in a…
The discrepancy function measures the deviation of the empirical distribution of a point set in $[0,1]^d$ from the uniform distribution. In this paper, we study the classical discrepancy function with respect to the BMO and exponential…
In this paper we show discrepancy bounds for index-transformed uniformly distributed sequences. From a general result we deduce very tight lower and upper bounds on the discrepancy of index-transformed van der Corput-, Halton-, and…
We prove various inequalities between the number of partitions with the bound on the largest part and some restrictions on occurrences of parts. We explore many interesting consequences of these partition inequalities. In particular, we…
A result by N.G. Makarov [Algebra i Analiz, 1989] states that for martingales $(M_n)$ on the torus we have the strict inequality \[ \liminf_{n\to\infty} \frac{M_n}{\sum_{k=1}^n |\Delta M_k|} > 0 \] on a set of Hausdorff dimension one,…
For two matrices $A$ and $B$, and large $n$, we show that most products of $n$ factors of $e^{A/n}$ and $n$ factors of $e^{B/n}$ are close to $e^{A + B}$. This extends the Lie-Trotter formula. The elementary proof is based on the relation…
We consider the star discrepancy of two-dimensional sequences made up as a hybrid between a Kronecker sequence and a perturbed Halton sequence in base 2, where the perturbation is achieved by a digital-sequence construction in the sense of…
We estimate the second order linking invariants of Lipschitz maps from an n-dimensional ellipse. The estimate uses a new directionally-dependent version of the isoperimetric inequality for cycles inside the ellipse. Using this work, we…
We develop machinery to explicitly determine, in many instances, when the difference $x^2-y^n$ is divisible only by powers of a given fixed prime. This combines a wide variety of techniques from Diophantine approximation (bounds for linear…
We establish a relation between the approximation in $L^2[-\pi,\pi]$ by exponentials with the set of frequencies of Beurling--Malliavin density less than $1$ and the meromorphic interpolation at $\mathbb Z$. Furthermore, we show that…
