The Union-Closed Sets Conjecture asks whether every union-closed set family $\mathcal{F}$ has an element contained in half of its sets. In 2022, Nagel posed a generalisation of this problem, suggesting that the $k$th-most popular element in…

Let $P$ be a polynomial of degree $d$ in independent Bernoulli random variables which has zero mean and unit variance. The Bonami hypercontractivity bound implies that the probability that $|P| > t$ decays exponentially in $t^{2/d}$.…

While useful probability bounds for $n$ pairwise independent Bernoulli random variables adding up to at least an integer $k$ have been proposed in the literature, none of these bounds are tight in general. In this paper, we provide several…

A family of probability distributions attached to a class of generalized weighted Bergman spaces on the Poincar\'e disk are introduced by constructing a kind of generalized coherent states. Their main statistical parameters are obtained…

We obtain the tail probability of generalized sub-Gaussian canonical processes. It can be viewed as a variant of the Bernstein-type inequality in the i.i.d case, and we further get a tighter bound of concentration inequality through…

In this paper we study monotone cellular automata in $d$ dimensions. We develop a general method for bounding the growth of the infected set when the initial configuration is chosen randomly, and then use this method to prove a lower bound…

We present two related conjectures, arising in work on i-matchings in random r-regular bipartite graphs. The conjectures themselves are easily stated and involve only basic properties of convergent power series. One formulation involves…

Verifying uniform conditions over continuous spaces through random sampling is fundamental in machine learning and control theory, yet classical coverage analyses often yield conservative bounds, particularly at small failure probabilities.…

Under the assumption that the distribution of a nonnegative random variable $X$ admits a bounded coupling with its size biased version, we prove simple and strong concentration bounds. In particular the upper tail probability is shown to…

The authors transpose a discrete notion of indetermination coupling in the case of continuous probabilities. They show that this coupling, expressed on densities, cannot be captured by a specific copula which acts on cumulative distribution…

The celebrated Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal Conjecture says that in any proper hereditary class of finite graphs we are guaranteed to have a clique or anti-clique of size $n^c$, which is a much better bound than the logarithmic size that is provided by…

The union-closed sets conjecture states that if a family of sets $\mathcal{A} \neq \{\emptyset\}$ is union-closed, then there is an element which belongs to at least half the sets in $\mathcal{A}$. In 2001, D. Reimer showed that the average…
