This paper generalizes the result of Elmachtoub et al to any weighted barycenter, where a transformation is considered which takes an arbitrary point of division $\xi \in (0,1)$ of the segments of a polygon with $n$ vertices. We then…
We propose a probabilistic definition of solutions of semilinear elliptic equations with (possibly nonlocal) operators associated with regular Dirichlet forms and with measure data. Using the theory of backward stochastic differential…
Motivated by the observation that groups can be effectively studied using metric spaces modelled on $\ell^1$, $\ell^2$, and $\ell^\infty$ geometry, we consider cell complexes equipped with an $\ell^p$ metric for arbitrary $p$. Under weak…
We discuss the geometry of the unit ball -- specifically, the structure of its extreme points (if any) -- in subspaces of $L^1$ and $L^\infty$ on the circle that are formed by functions with prescribed spectral gaps. A similar issue is…
The convex hull generated by the restriction to the unit ball of a stationary Poisson point process in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space is considered. By establishing sharp bounds on cumulants, exponential estimates for large deviation…
Exploiting the geometric nature of statistical divergences, we devise a way to define associated induced uncertainty measures for discrete and finite probability distributions. We also report new uncertainty measures and discuss their…
The solvability in $W^{2}_{p}(\bR^{d})$ spaces is proved for second-order elliptic equations with coefficients which are measurable in one direction and VMO in the orthogonal directions in each small ball with the direction depending on the…
We build a new probability measure on closed space and plane polygons. The key construction is a map, given by Knutson and Hausmann using the Hopf map on quaternions, from the complex Stiefel manifold of 2-frames in n-space to the space of…
Let $G_1,\dots, G_n\in \mathbb{F}_p[X_1,\dots,X_m]$ be $n$ polynomials in $m$ variables over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ of $p$ elements. For any sufficiently large prime $p$ and non-trivial bounds for the Weyl sums associated to the…
In this paper we will analyze discrete probability distributions in which probabilities of particular outcomes of some experiment (microstates) can be represented by the ratio of natural numbers (in other words, probabilities are…
A general theory is provided delivering convergence of maximal cyclically monotone mappings containing the supports of coupling measures of sequences of pairs of possibly random probability measures on Euclidean space. The theory is based…
Generalized versions of the entropic (Hirschman-Beckner) and support (Elad-Bruckstein) uncertainty principle are presented for frames representations. Moreover, a sharpened version of the support inequality has been obtained by introducing…
We study the Euler-Frobenius numbers, a generalization of the Eulerian numbers, and the probability distribution obtained by normalizing them. This distribution can be obtained by rounding a sum of independent uniform random variables; this…
We study approximations of smooth convex bodies by random ball-polytopes. We examine the following probability model: let $K\subset{\bf R}^d$ be a convex body such that $K$ slides freely in a ball of radius $R>0$ and has $C^2$ smooth…
We extend Bobkov and Chistyakov's (2015) upper bounds on concentration functions of sums of independent random variables to a multivariate entropic setting. The approach is based on pointwise estimates on densities of sums of independent…
We develop a constructive process which determines all extreme points of the unit ball of the space of $m$--linear forms, $m\geq1.$ Our method provides a full characterization of the geometry of that space through finitely many elementary…
Let $n$ be a large integer, and let $G$ be the standard Gaussian vector in $R^n$. Paouris, Valettas and Zinn (2015) showed that for all $p\in[1,c\log n]$, the variance of the $\ell_p^n$--norm of $G$ is equivalent, up to a constant multiple,…
We survey some $L^{p}$-vanishing results for solutions of Bochner or Simons type equations with refined Kato inequalities, under spectral assumptions on the relevant Schr\"{o}dinger operators. New aspects are included in the picture. In…
We study the minimum volume ellipsoid estimator associates to a cloud of points in phase space. Using as a natural measure of uncertainty the symplectic capacity of the covariance ellipsoid we find that classical uncertainties obey…
We investigate some topological properties of random geometric complexes and random geometric graphs on Riemannian manifolds in the thermodynamic limit. In particular, for random geometric complexes we prove that the normalized counting…
