Motivated by problems in controlled experiments, we study the discrepancy of random matrices with continuous entries where the number of columns $n$ is much larger than the number of rows $m$. Our first result shows that if $\omega(1) = m =…

We introduce a new notion of the determinant, called symmetrized determinant, for a square matrix with the entries in an associative algebra $\AA$. The monomial expansion of the symmetrized determinant is obtained from the standard…
Methods are developed for checking and completing systems of bivariate and multivariate Kendall's tau concordance measures in applications where only partial information about dependencies between variables is available. The concept of a…
In this paper we study the truncated power moment problem with an odd number of prescribed moments. A Nevanlinna-type formula is derived for this moment problem in the case when the moment problem has more than one solution (the…
We prove a stability version of a general result that bounds the permanent of a matrix in terms of its operator norm. More specifically, suppose $A$ is an $n \times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{C}$ (resp. $\mathbb{R}$), and let $\mathcal{P}$…

The moment problem in probability theory asks for criteria for when there exists a unique measure with a given tuple of moments. We study a variant of this problem for random objects in a category, where a moment is given by the average…
A truncated moment sequence (tms) of degree d is a vector indexed by monomials whose degree is at most d. Let K be a semialgebraic set.The truncated K-moment problem (TKMP) is: when does a tms y admit a positive Borel measure supported?…
In this paper we study the bivariate truncated moment problem (TMP) on curves of the form $y=q(x)$, $q(x)\in \mathbb{R}[x]$, $\text{deg } q\geq 3$, and $yx^\ell=1$, $\ell\in \mathbb{N}\setminus\{1\}$. For even degree sequences the solution…
In this paper, we study the truncated matrix moment problem in one variable through recursive matrix extensions. \ We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a recursive matrix extension of finite data to be a matrix moment sequence in…
We prove that in many cases the existence of an extremal metric for some Laplace eigenvalue in a conformal class allows to find extremal metrics in conformal classes close by. As a consequence and as part of the arguments we obtain…
This paper investigates the uniqueness of a nonnegative vector solution and the uniqueness of a positive semidefinite matrix solution to underdetermined linear systems. A vector solution is the unique solution to an underdetermined linear…
The bad science matrix problem consists in finding, among all matrices $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ with rows having unit $\ell^2$ norm, one that maximizes $\beta(A) = \frac{1}{2^n} \sum_{x \in \{-1, 1\}^n} \|Ax\|_\infty$. Our main…
We show that given an estimate $\widehat{A}$ that is close to a general high-rank positive semi-definite (PSD) matrix $A$ in spectral norm (i.e., $\|\widehat{A}-A\|_2 \leq \delta$), the simple truncated SVD of $\widehat{A}$ produces a…
An important question in elections is the determine whether a candidate can be a winner when some votes are absent. We study this determining winner with the absent votes (WAV) problem when the votes are top-truncated. We show that the WAV…
We obtain an explicit analytical sufficient condition on $E$ that ensures the monotonicity of the matrix $M+E$, where $M$ is an $M$-matrix.
Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be a random matrix with independent entries, and suppose that the entries are "uniformly anticoncentrated" in the sense that there is a constant $\varepsilon>0$ such that each entry $a_{ij}$ satisfies…
