A two-dimensional threshold function of k-valued logic can be viewed as coloring of the points of a k x k square lattice into two colors such that there exists a straight line separating points of different colors. For the number of such…
The Holder setting of the metric subregularity property of set-valued mappings between general metric or Banach/Asplund spaces is investigated in the framework of the theory of error bounds for extended real-valued functions of two…
Symmetry is a cornerstone of much of mathematics, and many probability distributions possess symmetries characterized by their invariance to a collection of group actions. Thus, many mathematical and statistical methods rely on such…
In stochastic geometry there are several instances of threshold phenomena in high dimensions: the behavior of a limit of some expectation changes abruptly when some parameter passes through a critical value. This note continues the…
Several different measures for digraph width have appeared in the last few years. However, none of them shares all the "nice" properties of treewidth: First, being \emph{algorithmically useful} i.e. admitting polynomial-time algorithms for…
In a recent publication we have investigated the spectrum of anomalous dimensions for arbitrary composite operators in the critical N-vector model in 4-epsilon dimensions. We could establish properties like upper and lower bounds for the…
A test of the null hypothesis that a hazard rate is monotone nondecreasing, versus the alternative that it is not, is proposed. Both the test statistic and the means of calibrating it are new. Unlike previous approaches, neither is based on…
Threshold amplitudes are considered for $n$-particle production in arbitrary scalar theory. It is found that, like in $\phi ^4$, leading-$n$ corrections to the tree level amplitudes, being summed over all loops, exponentiate. This result…
Let $m,n\ge 2$, $m\le n$. It is well-known that the number of (two-dimensional) threshold functions on an $m\times n$ rectangular grid is {eqnarray*} t(m,n)=\frac{6}{\pi^2}(mn)^2+O(m^2n\log{n})+O(mn^2\log{\log{n}})=…
The issue of asymmetric uncertainties resulting from fits, nonlinear propagation and systematic effects is reviewed. It is shown that, in all cases, whenever a published result is given with asymmetric uncertainties, the value of the…
A convenient framework for dealing with asymptotic limit problems of probabilistic nature is provided. These problems include questions such as finding the asymptotic proportion of terms of a sequence falling inside a given interval, or the…
The asymptotic structure of gauge theories describing fracton interactions is analyzed. Two sets of asymptotic conditions are proposed. Both encompass all known solutions, lead to finite charges and resolve the problem of the divergent…
Non-invertible symmetries in quantum field theory (QFT) generalize the familiar product rule of groups to a more general fusion rule. In many cases, gauged versions of these symmetries can be regarded as dual descriptions of invertible…
A $(v, k, \lambda)$ symmetric design is said to have the symmetric difference property (SDP) if the symmetric difference of any three blocks is either a block or the complement of a block. Symmetric designs fulfilling this property have the…
We construct families of symmetric, antisymmetric, and asymmetric solitary modes in one-dimensional bichromatic lattices with the second-harmonic-generating ($\chi ^{(2)}$) nonlinearity concentrated at a pair of sites placed at distance…
In my masters thesis I prove a square root bound on the distance of homological codes that come from two dimensional surfaces, as a result of the systolic inequality. I also give a detailed version of M.H. Freedman's proof that due to…
The mean width is a measure on n-dimensional convex bodies. An integral formula for the mean width of a regular n-simplex appeared in the electrical engineering literature in 1997. As a consequence, expressions for the expected range of a…
We present a notion of a random toric surface modeled on a notion of a random graph. We then study some threshold phenomena related to the smoothness of the resulting surfaces.
For a fixed set $X$, an arbitrary \textit{weight structure} $d \in [0,\infty]^{X \times X}$ can be interpreted as a distance assignment between pairs of points on $X$. Restrictions (i.e. \textit{metric axioms}) on the behaviour of any such…
We determine the probability thresholds for the existence of monotone paths, of finite and infinite length, in random oriented graphs with vertex set $\mathbb N^{[k]}$, the set of all increasing $k$-tuples in $\mathbb N$. These graphs…
