Linear predictors form a rich class of hypotheses used in a variety of learning algorithms. We present a tight analysis of the empirical Rademacher complexity of the family of linear hypothesis classes with weight vectors bounded in…

We prove that a graph has an infinitesimally rigid placement in a non-Euclidean normed plane if and only if it contains a $(2,2)$-tight spanning subgraph. The method uses an inductive construction based on generalised Henneberg moves and…

Using a long-standing conjecture from combinatorial group theory, we explore, from multiple perspectives, the challenges of finding rare instances carrying disproportionately high rewards. Based on lessons learned in the context defined by…

We study the sets of inertias achieved by Laplacian matrices of weighted signed graphs. First we characterize signed graphs with a unique Laplacian inertia. Then we show that there is a sufficiently small perturbation of the nonzero weights…

We study the NP-hard Shortest Path Most Vital Edges problem arising in the context of analyzing network robustness. For an undirected graph with positive integer edge lengths and two designated vertices $s$ and $t$, the goal is to delete as…

We introduce a new conjecture on the computational hardness of detecting random lifts of graphs: we claim that there is no polynomial-time algorithm that can distinguish between a large random $d$-regular graph and a large random lift of a…

We give a number of results about families of Ulam sets. Generalizing behavior of Ulam sets U(1,n), we prove using an novel model theoretic approach that there is a rigidity phenomenon for Ulam sets U(a,b) as b increases. Based on this, we…

We prove that, for any finite set of minimal $r$-graph patterns, there is a finite family $\mathcal F$ of forbidden $r$-graphs such that the extremal Tur\'an constructions for $\mathcal F$ are precisely the maximum $r$-graphs obtainable…

Ropelength and embedding thickness are related measures of geometric complexity of classical knots and links in Euclidean space. In their recent work, Freedman and Krushkal posed a question regarding lower bounds for embedding thickness of…

The paper is devoted to modal properties of the ternary strict betweenness relation as used in the development of various systems of geometry. We show that such a relation is non-definable in a basic similarity type with a binary operator…

We study linear systems of surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$ singular along general lines. Our purpose is to identify and classify special systems of such surfaces, i.e., those nonempty systems where the conditions imposed by the multiple lines…

In this paper, we prove the degree upper bound of projective subschemes in terms of the reduction number and show that the maximal cases are only arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay subschemes with linear resolution. Furthermore, it can be shown…

Let X be a tight t-design of dimension n for one of the open cases t=5 or t=7. An investigation of the lattice generated by X using arithmetic theory of quadratic forms allows to exclude infinitely many values for n.

Many deep, mysterious connections have been observed between collections of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) and combinatorial designs called $k$-nets (and in particular, between complete collections of MUBs and finite affine - or…

We improve the best known upper bound on the number of edges in a unit-distance graph on $n$ vertices for each $n\in\{16,\ldots,30\}$. When $n\leq 21$, our bounds match the best known lower bounds, and we fully enumerate the densest…

We describe an algorithm that recognizes some (perhaps all) intrinsically knotted (IK) graphs, and can help find knotless embeddings for graphs that are not IK. The algorithm, implemented as a Mathematica program, has already been used by…
