A degree-$d$ polynomial $p$ in $n$ variables over a field $\F$ is {\em equidistributed} if it takes on each of its $|\F|$ values close to equally often, and {\em biased} otherwise. We say that $p$ has a {\em low rank} if it can be expressed…
We present estimators for entropy and other functions of a discrete probability distribution when the data is a finite sample drawn from that probability distribution. In particular, for the case when the probability distribution is a joint…
A low-degree test is a collection of simple, local rules for checking the proximity of an arbitrary function to a low-degree polynomial. Each rule depends on the function's values at a small number of places. If a function satisfies many…
We survey recent results on combinatorial optimization problems in which the objective function is the entropy of a discrete distribution. These include the minimum entropy set cover, minimum entropy orientation, and minimum entropy…
The need to reason about uncertainty in large, complex, and multi-modal datasets has become increasingly common across modern scientific environments. The ability to transform samples from one distribution $P$ to another distribution $Q$…
We consider random multiplicative functions taking the values $\pm 1$. Using Stein's method for normal approximation, we prove a central limit theorem for the sum of such multiplicative functions in appropriate short intervals.
We study the problem of estimating the joint probability mass function (pmf) over two random variables. In particular, the estimation is based on the observation of $m$ samples containing both variables and $n$ samples missing one fixed…
We explore distribution questions for rational maps on the projective line $\mathbb{P}^1$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ within the framework of arithmetic dynamics, drawing analogies to elliptic curves. Specifically, we investigate counting problems…
In this paper we describe a theory of a cumulative distribution function on a space with an order from a probability measure defined in this space. This distribution function plays a similar role to that played in the classical case.…
We study the problem of testing whether a function $f: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ is a polynomial of degree at most $d$ in the \emph{distribution-free} testing model. Here, the distance between functions is measured with respect to an…
The usual division algorithms on $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ measure the size of remainders using the norm function. These rings are Euclidean with respect to several functions. The pointwise minimum of all Euclidean functions $f: R…
The multinomial coefficient and their recurrence relations from the generalized quantum deformed algebras are examined. Moreover, the $\mathcal{R}(p,q)-$ deformed multinomial probability distribution and the negative $\mathcal{R}(p,q)-$…
For a class of functions (called minimal Rad\'o functions) that arise naturally in minimal surface theory, we bound the number of interior critical points (counting multiplicity) in terms of the boundary data and the Euler characteristic of…
Let $B(n,p)$ denote a binomial random variable with parameters $n$ and $p$. Vas\v{e}k Chv\'{a}tal conjectured that for any fixed $n\geq 2$, as $m$ ranges over $\{0,\ldots,n\}$, the probability $q_m:=P(B(n,m/n)\leq m)$ is the smallest when…
This work addresses more to the technical rather than to the physical problem, how to calculate analytically the form factor $F(Q)$, the associated mean-square radius $<r^2>$, and the distribution function $\Phi(x,Q^2)$ for a given…
The inverse Galois problem is concerned with finding a Galois extension of a field $K$ with given Galois group. In this paper we consider the particular case where the base field is $K=\F_p(t)$. We give a conjectural formula for the minimal…
Recently, D. Wang has devised a new contour integral based method to simplify certain matrix integrals. Capitalizing on that approach, we derive a new expression for the probability density function (p.d.f.) of the joint eigenvalues of a…
The main goal of this research is to model and investigate generalizations of functions from [31]. Arguments of modeled functions are presented by the representation $\pi_{\mathfrak p}$ from [22].
We are concerned with a phase-space probability distribution which is known as Husimi $Q$-function of a density operator with respect to a set of coherent states $\vert\widetilde{\kappa}_{z,B,R,m}\rangle$ attached to an $m$th hyperbolic…
We consider sets in $\mathbb R^N$ which minimise, for fixed volume, the sum of the perimeter and a non-local term given by the double integral of a kernel $g:\mathbb R^N\setminus\{0\}\to \mathbb R^+$. We establish some general existence and…
