Bowen showed that a continuous expansive map with specification has a unique measure of maximal entropy. We show that the conclusion remains true under weaker non-uniform versions of these hypotheses. To this end, we introduce the notions…
We consider partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms $f$ with a one-dimensional central direction such that the unstable entropy exceeds the stable entropy. Our main result proves that such maps have a finite number of ergodic measures of…
We establish the existence and finiteness of equilibrium states for a class of partially hyperbolic endomorphisms. In our first result, we assume that the central direction is simple. In the second result, we consider the case where there…
On a compact group the Haar probability measure plays the role of uniform distribution. The entropy and rate distortion theory for this uniform distribution is studied. New results and simplified proofs on convergence of convolutions on…
Compressible (full) potential flow is expressed as an equivalent first-order system of conservation laws for density $\rho$ and velocity $v$. Energy $E$ is shown to be the only nontrivial entropy for that system in multiple space…
We prove that there exists an absolute constant $\alpha >1$ with the following property: if $K$ is a convex body in ${\mathbb R}^n$ whose center of mass is at the origin, then a random subset $X\subset K$ of cardinality ${\rm…
For a closed, strictly convex projective manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$ that admits a hyperbolic structure, we show that the ratio of Hilbert volume to hyperbolic volume is bounded below by a constant that depends only on dimension. We…
Given a non-conformal repeller $\Lambda$ of a $C^{1+\gamma}$ map, we study the Hausdorff dimension of the repeller and continuity of the sub-additive topological pressure for the sub-additive singular valued potentials. Such a potential…
The Shannon entropy, the desequilibrium and their generalizations (R\'enyi and Tsallis entropies) of the three-dimensional single-particle systems in a spherically-symmetric potential $V(r)$ can be decomposed into angular and radial parts.…
We solve the truncated K-moment problem when $K\subseteq R^n$ is the closure of a, not necessarily bounded, open set (which includes the important cases $K=R^n$ and $K=R^n_+$). That is, we completely characterize the interior of the convex…
Consider a Poisson point process within a convex set in a Euclidean space. The Vietoris-Rips complex is the clique complex over the graph connecting all pairs of points with distance at most $\delta$. Summing powers of the volume of all…
We prove inequalities relating the measures of maximal entropy of two patterns u,v where the extender set of u is contained in the extender set of v. Our main results are two generalizations of a Theorem of Meyerovitch; the first applies to…
Fix positive integers $k$ and $d$. We show that, as $n\to\infty$, any set system $\mathcal{A} \subset 2^{[n]}$ for which the VC dimension of $\{ \triangle_{i=1}^k S_i \mid S_i \in \mathcal{A}\}$ is at most $d$ has size at most…
We consider the well-known max-(relative) entropy problem $\Theta$(y) = infQ$\ll$P DKL(Q P ) with Kullback-Leibler divergence on a domain $\Omega$ $\subset$ R d , and with ''moment'' constraints h dQ = y, y $\in$ R m . We show that when m…
We study range spaces, where the ground set consists of either polygonal curves in $\mathbb{R}^d$ or polygonal regions in the plane that may contain holes and the ranges are balls defined by an elastic distance measure, such as the…
We prove an exponential deviation inequality for the convex hull of a finite sample of i.i.d. random points with a density supported on an arbitrary convex body in $\R^d$, $d\geq 2$. When the density is uniform, our result yields rate…
This paper focuses on the extreme-value problem for Shannon entropy of the joint distribution with given marginals. It is proved that the minimum-entropy coupling must be of order-preserving, while the maximum-entropy coupling coincides…
The present paper aims to investigate the metric mean dimension theory of continuous flows. We introduce the notion of metric mean dimension for continuous flows to characterize the complexity of flows with infinite topological entropy. For…
We consider an abundant class of non-uniformly hyperbolic $C^2$-H\'enon like diffeomorphisms called strongly regular and which corresponds to Benedicks-Carleson parameters. We prove the existence of $m>0$ such that for any such…
We introduce the notion of tubular dimension, and give a formula for it. As an application we show that every invariant measure of a $C^{1+\gamma}$ diffeomorphism of a closed Riemannian manifold admits an asymptotic local product structure…
