For all $n, \epsilon >0$, we show that the set of Poisson Binomial distributions on $n$ variables admits a proper $\epsilon$-cover in total variation distance of size $n^2+n \cdot (1/\epsilon)^{O(\log^2 (1/\epsilon))}$, which can also be…

Recently, there has been significant work studying distribution testing under the Conditional Sampling model. In this model, a query specifies a subset $S$ of the domain, and the output received is a sample drawn from the distribution…

We construct efficient data structures that are resilient against a constant fraction of adversarial noise. Our model requires that the decoder answers most queries correctly with high probability and for the remaining queries, the decoder…

We present an analytical description of the large-amplitude stationary oscillations of the finite discrete system of harmonically-coupled pendulums without any restrictions to their amplitudes (excluding a vicinity of $\pi$). Although this…

Hyperuniformity characterizes a state of matter for which density fluctuations diminish towards zero at the largest length scales. However, the task of determining whether or not an experimental system is hyperuniform is experimentally…

Boolean formulae compactly encode huge, constrained search spaces. Thus, variability-intensive systems are often encoded with Boolean formulae. The search space of a variability-intensive system is usually too large to explore without…
