We derive bounds for the ball $L_p$-discrepancies in the Hamming space for $0<p<\infty$ and $p=\infty$. Sharp estimates of discrepancies have been obtained for many spaces such as the Euclidean spheres and more general compact Riemannian…

Density-based directed distances -- particularly known as divergences -- between probability distributions are widely used in statistics as well as in the adjacent research fields of information theory, artificial intelligence and machine…
In this paper, we consider the upper bound of the probabilistic star discrepancy based on Hilbert space filling curve sampling. This problem originates from the multivariate integral approximation, but the main result removes the strict…
We prove a Large Deviations Principle (LDP) for systems of diffusions (particles) interacting through their ranks, when the number of particles tends to infinity. We show that the limiting particle density is given by the unique solution of…
We estimate the $L^{p}$ norms of the discrepancy between the volume and the number of integer points in $r\Omega-x$, a dilated by a factor $r$ and translated by a vector $x$ of a convex body $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with smooth boundary…

$f$-divergences are a general class of divergences between probability measures which include as special cases many commonly used divergences in probability, mathematical statistics and information theory such as Kullback-Leibler…
In the present paper a behavior of the "average case" approximation complexity for d-parametric random fields of tensor-type is studied. It was shown in [Lifshits and Tulyakova, 2006] that for a given approximation accuracy level the…
We study the discrepancy of jittered sampling sets: such a set $\mathcal{P} \subset [0,1]^d$ is generated for fixed $m \in \mathbb{N}$ by partitioning $[0,1]^d$ into $m^d$ axis aligned cubes of equal measure and placing a random point…
We consider the problem of finding, for a given quadratic measure of non-uniformity of a set of $N$ points (such as $L_2$ star-discrepancy or diaphony), the asymptotic distribution of this discrepancy for truly random points in the limit…
This paper is devoted to the study of a discrepancy-type characteristic -- the fixed volume discrepancy -- of the Korobov point sets in the unit cube. It was observed recently that this new characteristic allows us to obtain optimal rate of…
We derive a general upper bound for the number of incidences with $k$-dimensional varieties in ${\mathbb R}^d$. The leading term of this new bound generalizes previous bounds for the special cases of $k=1, k=d-1,$ and $k= d/2$, to every…
In this paper, we generalize and improve some fundamental concentration inequalities using information on the random variables' higher moments. In particular, we improve the classical Hoeffding's and Bennett's inequalities for the case…
For better learning, large datasets are often split into small batches and fed sequentially to the predictive model. In this paper, we study such batch decompositions from a probabilistic perspective. We assume that data points (possibly…
In contrast to the study of Langevin equations in a homogeneous environment in the literature, the study on Langevin equations in randomly-varying environments is relatively scarce. Almost all the existing works require random environments…
