Concentration inequalities are fundamental tools in probabilistic combinatorics and theoretical computer science for proving that random functions are near their means. Of particular importance is the case where f(X) is a function of…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space and $\mu$ a Borel probability on $X$. For each $N\geq 1$ let $d^N_\infty$ be the $\ell_\infty$-product on $X^N$ of copies of $d$, and consider $1$-Lipschitz functions $X^N\to\mathbb{R}$ for…

We propose a novel approach to concentration for non-independent random variables. The main idea is to ``pretend'' that the random variables are independent and pay a multiplicative price measuring how far they are from actually being…

We consider the problem of bounding large deviations for non-i.i.d. random variables that are allowed to have arbitrary dependencies. Previous works typically assumed a specific dependence structure, namely the existence of independent…

The property of measure concentration is that an arbitrary 1-Lipschitz function $f:X\to \mathbb{R}$ on an mm-space $X$ is almost close to a constant function. In this paper, we prove that if such a concentration phenomenon arise, then any…

This article investigates the probabilistic relationship between quantum classification of Boolean functions and their Hamming distance. By integrating concepts from quantum computing, information theory, and combinatorics, we explore how…

A concentration of measure result is proved for the number of isolated vertices $Y$ in the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph model on $n$ edges with edge probability $p$. When $\mu$ and $\sigma^2$ denote the mean and variance of $Y$…

Measuring the concentration of random variables is a fundamental concept in probability and statistics. Here, we explore a type of concentration measure for continuous random variables with bounded support and use it to provide a notion of…

We prove new concentration estimates for random variables that are functionals of a Poisson measure defined on a general measure space. Our results are specifically adapted to geometric applications, and are based on a pervasive use of a…

We derive Concentration of Measure (CoM) inequalities for randomized Toeplitz matrices. These inequalities show that the norm of a high-dimensional signal mapped by a Toeplitz matrix to a low-dimensional space concentrates around its mean…

In this note we study how a concentration phenomenon can be transmitted from one measure $\mu$ to a push-forward measure $\nu$. In the first part, we push forward $\mu$ by $\pi:supp(\mu)\rightarrow \Ren$, where $\pi…

If $\mu$ is a distribution over the $d$-dimensional Boolean cube $\{0,1\}^d$, our goal is to estimate its mean $p\in[0,1]^d$ based on $n$ iid draws from $\mu$. Specifically, we consider the empirical mean estimator $\hat p_n$ and study the…

Although there doesn't exist the Lebesgue measure in the ball $M$ of $C[0,1]$ with $p-$norm, the average values (expectation) $EY$ and variance $DY$ of some functionals $Y$ on $M$ can still be defined through the procedure of limitation…
