We study intermediate-scale statistics for the fractional parts of the sequence $(\alpha a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$, where $(a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a positive, real-valued lacunary sequence, and $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$. In particular, we consider…

This manuscript includes some classical results we select apart from the new results we've found on the Analysis of Boolean Functions and Fourier-Entropy-Influence conjecture. We try to ensure the self-completeness of this work so that…

A function defined on the Boolean hypercube is $k$-Fourier-sparse if it has at most $k$ nonzero Fourier coefficients. For a function $f: \mathbb{F}_2^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and parameters $k$ and $d$, we prove a strong upper bound on the…

We prove that if $f:I\subset \Bbb R\to \Bbb R$ is of bounded variation, then the noncentered maximal function $Mf$ is absolutely continuous, and its derivative satisfies the sharp inequality $\|DMf\|_1\le |Df|(I)$. This allows us obtain,…

We consider univariate regression estimation from an individual (non-random) sequence $(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2), ... \in \real \times \real$, which is stable in the sense that for each interval $A \subseteq \real$, (i) the limiting relative…

Let $\Omega$ be a countable infinite product $\Omega^\N$ of copies of the same probability space $\Omega_1$, and let ${\Xi_n}$ be the sequence of the coordinate projection functions from $\Omega$ to $\Omega_1$. Let $\Psi$ be a possibly…

The {\em Total Influence} ({\em Average Sensitivity) of a discrete function is one of its fundamental measures. We study the problem of approximating the total influence of a monotone Boolean function \ifnum\plusminus=1 $f: \{\pm1\}^n…

Consider a monotone Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n\to\{0,1\}$ and the canonical monotone coupling $\{\eta_p:p\in[0,1]\}$ of an element in $\{0,1\}^n$ chosen according to product measure with intensity $p\in[0,1]$. The random point…

A Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ is said to be noise sensitive if inserting a small random error in its argument makes the value of the function almost unpredictable. Benjamini, Kalai and Schramm showed that if the sum of…

Consider a Boolean function f on the n-dimensional hypercube, and a set of variables (indexed by) $S \subset \{1,2,\ldots,n\}.$ The coalition influence of the variables S on a function f is the probability that after a random assignment of…

We investigate the influences of variables on a Boolean function $f$ based on the quantum Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm. A previous paper (Floess et al. in Math. Struct. in Comp. Science 23: 386, 2013) has proved that if a $n$-variable…

Let $\{X_n;n\ge 1\}$ be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables in a regular sub-linear expectation space $(\Omega,\mathscr{H},\widehat{\mathbb E})$ with the finite Choquet expectation, upper mean…

In this article we revisit the problem of numerical integration for monotone bounded functions, with a focus on the class of nonsequential Monte Carlo methods. We first provide new a lower bound on the maximal $L^p$ error of nonsequential…

A Boolean function $f({\vec x})$ is sensitive to bit $x_i$ if there is at least one input vector $\vec x$ and one bit $x_i$ in $\vec x$, such that changing $x_i$ changes $f$. A function has sensitivity $s$ if among all input vectors, the…

We prove that for any decision tree calculating a boolean function $f:\{-1,1\}^n\to\{-1,1\}$, \[ \Var[f] \le \sum_{i=1}^n \delta_i \Inf_i(f), \] where $\delta_i$ is the probability that the $i$th input variable is read and $\Inf_i(f)$ is…

Let $(x_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of integers. We study the number variance of dilations $(\alpha x_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ modulo 1 in intervals of length $S$, and establish pseudorandom (Poissonian) behavior for Lebesgue-almost all $\alpha$…

Suppose that f is a boolean function from F_2^n to {0,1} with spectral norm (that is the sum of the absolute values of its Fourier coefficients) at most M. We show that f may be expressed as +/- 1 combination of at most 2^(2^(O(M^4)))…

We prove a Lusin approximation of functions of bounded variation. If $f$ is a function of bounded variation on an open set $\Omega\subset X$, where $X=(X,d,\mu)$ is a given complete doubling metric measure space supporting a $1$-Poincar\'e…

A function $f:\ \{-1,1\}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is called pseudo-Boolean. It is well-known that each pseudo-Boolean function $f$ can be written as $f(x)=\sum_{I\in {\cal F}}\hat{f}(I)\chi_I(x),$ where ${\cal F}\subseteq \{I:\ I\subseteq…
