We study the relative growth of finitely generated subgroups in finitely generated groups, and the corresponding distortion function of the embeddings. We explore which functions are equivalent to the relative growth functions and…

Finite sample bounds on the estimation error of the mean by the empirical mean, uniform over a class of functions, can often be conveniently obtained in terms of Rademacher or Gaussian averages of the class. If a function of n variables has…

Recent studies on frequent itemset mining algorithms resulted in significant performance improvements. However, if the minimal support threshold is set too low, or the data is highly correlated, the number of frequent itemsets itself can be…

We give some connections between various functions defined on finitely presented groups (isoperimetric, isodiametric, Todd-Coxeter radius, filling length functions, etc.), and we study the relation between those functions and the…

Consider the discrete maximal function acting on finitely supported functions on the integers, \[ \mathcal{C}_\Lambda f(n) := \sup_{\lambda \in \Lambda} | \sum_{p \in \pm \mathbb{P}} f(n-p) \log |p| \frac{e^{2\pi i \lambda p}}{p} |,\] where…

We define the supermodular rank of a function on a lattice. This is the smallest number of terms needed to decompose it into a sum of supermodular functions. The supermodular summands are defined with respect to different partial orders. We…

We consider the question of when sets definable in first-order expansions of groups contain the product of two infinite sets (we refer to this as the "productset property"). We first show that the productset property holds for any definable…

Exhausters are families of compact, convex sets which provide minmax or maxmin representations of positively homogeneous functions and they are efficient tools for the study of nonsmooth function. Upper and lower exhausters of positively…

We propose novel methods for max-cost Discrete Function Evaluation Problem (DFEP) under budget constraints. We are motivated by applications such as clinical diagnosis where a patient is subjected to a sequence of (possibly expensive) tests…

A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By Hahn-Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is…

If $x_1,\dots,x_m$ are finitely many points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, let $E_\epsilon=\cup_{i=1}^m\,x_i+Q_\epsilon$, where $Q_\epsilon=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^d,\,\,|x_i|\le \epsilon/2, \, i=1,...,d\}$ and let $\hat f$ denote the Fourier transform of…

Let X be a non-empty set and U a ring of subsets of X. The countable additive functions U->{0,1} are called measures. The paper gives some definitions (derivable measures, the Lebesgue-Stieltjes measures) and properties of these functions,…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $f:G \to {\mathbb C}$ be a function. For a non-empty finite subset $Y\subset G$, let $I_Y(f)$ denote the average of $f$ over $Y$. Then, $I_G(f)$ is the average of $f$ over $G$. Using the decomposition of $f$…

Sparse representation over redundant dictionaries constitutes a good model for many classes of signals (e.g., patches of natural images, segments of speech signals, etc.). However, despite its popularity, very little is known about the…

The purpose of this paper is to characterize several classes of functional identities involving inverses with related mappings from a unital Banach algebra $\mathcal{A}$ over the complex field into a unital $\mathcal{A}$-bimodule…

In this article, we consider the generalized version $d^f_g$ of the natural density function introduced in \cite{BDK} where $g : \N \rightarrow [0,\infty)$ satisfies $g(n) \rightarrow \infty$ and $\frac{n}{g(n)} \nrightarrow 0$ whereas $f$…

In this work our main objective is to establish various (high frequency-) uniqueness criteria. Initially, we consider $p-$Dirichlet type functionals on a suitable class of measure preserving maps $u: B\subset \mathbb{R}^2 \mapsto…

The sumset is one of the most basic and central objects in additive number theory. Many of the most important problems (such as Goldbach's conjecture and Fermat's Last theorem) can be formulated in terms of the sumset $S + S = \{x+y :…

While Dehn functions, D(n), of finitely presented groups are very well studied in the literature, mean Dehn functions are much less considered. M. Gromov introduced the notion of mean Dehn function of a group, $D_{mean}(n)$, suggesting that…

The Chermak-Delgado measure of a finite group is a function which assigns to each subgroup a positive integer. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for when the Chermak-Delgado measure of a group is actually a map of…
