We consider the Random Euclidean Assignment Problem in dimension $d=1$, with linear cost function. In this version of the problem, in general, there is a large degeneracy of the ground state, i.e. there are many different optimal matchings…
It has been known that the distribution of the random distances between two uniformly distributed points within a convex polygon can be obtained based on its chord length distribution (CLD). In this report, we first verify the existing…

Solving linear programs is often a challenging task in distributed settings. While there are good algorithms for solving packing and covering linear programs in a distributed manner (Kuhn et al.~2006), this is essentially the only class of…
A random geometric graph $G(\mathcal{X}_n, r_n)$ is formed by taking a binomial process $\mathcal{X}_n$ as the set of vertices and joining any two distinct points with an edge if they lie within distance $r_n$ of each other. We investigate…
We investigate a network model based on an infinite regular square lattice embedded in the Euclidean plane where the node connection probability is given by the geometrical distance of nodes. We show that the degree distribution in the…
Energy-based probabilistic models learned by maximizing the likelihood of the data are limited by the intractability of the partition function. A widely used workaround is to maximize the pseudo-likelihood, which replaces the global…
Scale-free percolation is a stochastic model for complex networks. In this spatial random graph model, vertices $x,y\in\mathbb{Z}^d$ are linked by an edge with probability depending on i.i.d.\ vertex weights and the Euclidean distance…

Neural networks excel at discovering statistical patterns in high-dimensional data sets. In practice, higher-order cumulants, which quantify the non-Gaussian correlations between three or more variables, are particularly important for the…
Determining the number of clusters is a fundamental issue in data clustering. Several algorithms have been proposed, including centroid-based algorithms using the Euclidean distance and model-based algorithms using a mixture of probability…

Given any deep fully connected neural network, initialized with random Gaussian parameters, we bound from above the quadratic Wasserstein distance between its output distribution and a suitable Gaussian process. Our explicit inequalities…
We study the diameter, or the mean distance between sites, in a scale-free network, having N sites and degree distribution p(k) ~ k^-a, i.e. the probability of having k links outgoing from a site. In contrast to the diameter of regular…
Robust estimators, like the median of a point set, are important for data analysis in the presence of outliers. We study robust estimators for locationally uncertain points with discrete distributions. That is, each point in a data set has…
Pairwise Euclidean distance calculation is a fundamental step in many machine learning and data analysis algorithms. In real-world applications, however, these distances are frequently distorted by heteroskedastic noise$\unicode{x2014}$a…
