Motivated by Varadhan's theorem, we introduce Varadhan functions, variances, and means on compact Riemannian manifolds as smooth approximations to their Fr\'echet counterparts. Given independent and identically distributed samples, we prove…

A classical problem in number theory is showing that the mean value of an arithmetic function is asymptotic to its mean value over a short interval or over an arithmetic progression, with the interval as short as possible or the modulus as…

Consensus algorithms are popular distributed algorithms for computing aggregate quantities, such as averages, in ad-hoc wireless networks. However, existing algorithms mostly address the case where the measurements lie in a Euclidean space.…
