In this paper, we propose to study the following maximum ordinal consensus problem: Suppose we are given a metric system (M, X), which contains k metrics M = {\rho_1,..., \rho_k} defined on the same point set X. We aim to find a maximum…

We study the problem of estimating the parameters of a Boolean product distribution in $d$ dimensions, when the samples are truncated by a set $S \subset \{0, 1\}^d$ accessible through a membership oracle. This is the first time that the…

We review several (and provide new) results on the theory of moments, sums of squares and basic semi-algebraic sets when convexity is present. In particular, we show that under convexity, the hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations for…

The dimension of a partial order $P$ is the minimum number of linear orders whose intersection is $P$. There are efficient algorithms to test if a partial order has dimension at most $2$. In 1982 Yannakakis showed that for $k\geq 3$ to test…

In this paper we show an alternative approach to the concentration of truncated variation for stochastic processes on a real line. Our method is based on the moments control and can be used to generalize the results to the case of processes…

Results on the error bounds of quadrature methods are well known - most state that if the method has degree N, and the integrand has N derivatives, then the error is order N+1. We prove here a converse: that if the integrand fails to have N…

Variable screening is a fast dimension reduction technique for assisting high dimensional feature selection. As a preselection method, it selects a moderate size subset of candidate variables for further refining via feature selection to…

We extend the Koopman-von Neumann convergence condition on the Ces\`{a}ro mean to the context of a Dedekind complete Riesz space with weak order unit. As a consequence, a characterisation of conditional weak mixing is given in the Riesz…

We consider a spherically symmetric distribution of dust and show that it is possible, under general physically reasonable conditions, for an overdensity to evolve to an underdensity (and vice versa). We find the conditions under which this…

This paper studies distributionally robust optimization (DRO) with polynomial robust constraints. We give a Moment-SOS relaxation approach to solve the DRO. This reduces to solving linear conic optimization with semidefinite constraints.…

A set of stochastic matrices ${\cal P}$ is a consensus set if for every sequence of matrices $P(1), P(2), \ldots$ whose elements belong to ${\cal P}$ and every initial state $x(0)$, the sequence of states defined by $x(t) = P(t) P(t-1)…
