Compressed Sensing decoding algorithms can efficiently recover an N dimensional real-valued vector x to within a factor of its best k-term approximation by taking m = 2klog(N/k) measurements y = Phi x. If the sparsity or approximate…

We introduce the concept of strong high-order approximate minimizers for nonconvex optimization problems. These apply in both standard smooth and composite non-smooth settings, and additionally allow convex or inexpensive constraints. An…

We study sharpened forms of the concentration of measure phenomenon typically centered at stochastic expansions of order $d-1$ for any $d \in \mathbb{N}$. The bounds are based on $d$-th order derivatives or difference operators. In…

We study high-dimensional Laplace-type integrals $I(\lambda):=(\lambda/2\pi)^{d/2}\int_{\mathbb R^d} g(x)e^{-\lambda f(x)}dx$ in the regime where both $d$ and $\lambda$ are large. Existing rigorous Laplace-expansion results in growing…

We prove anti-concentration bounds for the inner product of two independent random vectors, and use these bounds to prove lower bounds in communication complexity. We show that if $A,B$ are subsets of the cube $\{\pm 1\}^n$ with $|A| \cdot…

Let $X_1,\dots,X_n$ be independent centered random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$. This paper shows that, even when $d$ may grow with $n$, the probability $P(n^{-1/2}\sum_{i=1}^nX_i\in A)$ can be approximated by its Gaussian analog uniformly in…

In this article, we propose some two-sample tests based on ball divergence and investigate their high dimensional behavior. First, we study their behavior for High Dimension, Low Sample Size (HDLSS) data, and under appropriate regularity…

We construct a nonlocal density functional approximation with full exact exchange, while preserving the constraint-satisfaction approach and justified error cancellations of simpler semilocal functionals. This is achieved by interpolating…

We study the Hausdorff dimension of self-similar sets and measures on the line. We show that if the dimension is smaller than the minimum of 1 and the similarity dimension, then at small scales there are super-exponentially close cylinders.…

Let $n\geq 1$, $K>0$, and let $X=(X_1,X_2,\dots,X_n)$ be a random vector in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with independent $K$--subgaussian components. We show that for every $1$--Lipschitz convex function $f$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (the Lipschitzness with…

It is shown that, given a point $x\in\mathbbm{R}^d$, $d\ge 2$, and open sets $U_1,...,U_k$ containing $x$, any convex combination of the harmonic measures for $x$ with respect to $U_n$, $1\le n\le k$, is the limit of a sequence of harmonic…

In this paper we study a sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev (HLS) type inequality with Riesz potential on bounded smooth domains. We obtain the inequality for a general bounded domain $\Omega$ and show that if the extension constant for…
