In this paper we study the uncertainty principle (UP) connecting a function over a finite field and its Mattson-Solomon polynomial, which is a kind of Fourier transform in positive characteristic. Three versions of the UP over finite fields…

An uncertainty quantification framework is developed for Eulerian-Lagrangian models of particle-laden flows, where the fluid is modeled through a system of partial differential equations in the Eulerian frame and inertial particles are…

In an incoherent dictionary, most signals that admit a sparse representation admit a unique sparse representation. In other words, there is no way to express the signal without using strictly more atoms. This work demonstrates that sparse…

Let $f$ be a finite signal. The classical uncertainty principle tells us that the product of the support of $f$ and the support of $\hat{f}$, the Fourier transform of $f$, must satisfy $|supp(f)|\cdot|supp(\hat{f})|\geq |G|$. Recently,…

The Fenchel-Young inequality is fundamental in Convex Analysis and Optimization. It states that the difference between certain function values of two vectors and their inner product is nonnegative. Recently, Carlier introduced a very nice…

In this paper we derive new upper bounds for the densities of measurable sets in R^n which avoid a finite set of prescribed distances. The new bounds come from the solution of a linear programming problem. We apply this method to obtain new…

An uncertainty inequality is presented that establishes a lower limit for the product of the variance of the time-averaged intensity of a mode of a quantized electromagnetic field and the degree of its spatial localization. The lower limit…

We give theorems that can be used to upper bound the densities of packings of different spherical caps in the unit sphere and of translates of different convex bodies in Euclidean space. These theorems extend the linear programming bounds…

We consider the problem of testing whether a Boolean function has Fourier degree $\leq k$ or it is $\epsilon$-far from any Boolean function with Fourier degree $\leq k$. We improve the known lower bound of $\Omega(k)$ \cite{BBM11,CGM10}, to…
