Given a partition of an n element set into equivalence classes, we consider time-space tradeoffs for representing it to support the query that asks whether two given elements are in the same equivalence class. This has various applications…
We call a matrix completely mixable if the entries in its columns can be permuted so that all row sums are equal. If it is not completely mixable, we want to determine the smallest maximal and largest minimal row sum attainable. These…
The two-dimensional moment problem consists of finding a positive Borel measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ such that $\int_{\mathbb{R}^2} t_1^m t_2^n d\mu = s_{m,n}$, $m,n=0,1,2,...$, where $s_{m,n}$ are prescribed real constants (moments). We…
The power moments of a positive measure on the real line or the circle are characterized by the non-negativity of an infinite matrix, Hankel, respectively Toeplitz, attached to the data. Except some fortunate configurations, in higher…
This paper considers the matrix completion problem. We show that it is not necessary to assume joint incoherence, which is a standard but unintuitive and restrictive condition that is imposed by previous studies. This leads to a sample…
We assume that a finite set of moments of a random vector is given. Its underlying density is unknown. An algorithm is proposed for efficiently calculating Dirac mixture densities maintaining these moments while providing a homogeneous…
This paper is a continuation of our previous investigation on the truncated matrix trigonometric moment problem in Ukrainian Math. J., 2011, 63, no.6, 786-797. In the present paper we obtain a Nevanlinna-type formula for this moment problem…
In this work we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of bounded solutions of a resonant multi-point second-order boundary value problem, with a fully differential equation. The noninvertibility of the linear part is overcome by a…
We consider a class of finite element approximations for fourth-order parabolic equations that can be written as a system of second-order equations by introducing an auxiliary variable. In our approach, we first solve a variational problem…
We show that left-right symmetric models can easily accommodate stable TeV-scale dark matter particles without the need for an ad-hoc stabilizing symmetry. The stability of a newly introduced multiplet arises either accidentally as in the…
In this paper, we address the following algebraic generalization of the bipartite stable set problem. We are given a block-structured matrix (partitioned matrix) $A = (A_{\alpha \beta})$, where $A_{\alpha \beta}$ is an $m_{\alpha}$ by…
Matrix measures induced by vector norms are widely used in contraction theory of nonlinear dynamical systems. A natural and important robustness question is whether negativity of a matrix measure is preserved under arbitrary nonnegative…
The contribution of this work is twofold. The first part deals with a Hilbert-space version of McCann's celebrated result on the existence and uniqueness of monotone measure-preserving maps: given two probability measures $\rm P$ and $\rm…
Recent results from real algebraic geometry and the theory of polynomial optimization are related in a new framework to the existence question of multivariate tight wavelet frames whose generators have at least one vanishing moment. Namely,…
Let $D$ be a strong balanced digraph on $2a$ vertices. Adamus et al. have proved that $D$ is hamiltonian if $d(u)+d(v)\ge 3a$ whenever $uv\notin A(D)$ and $vu\notin A(D)$. The lower bound $3a$ is tight. In this paper, we shall show that the…
An $n \times m$ non-negative matrix with row sum $m$ and column sum $n$ is called doubly stochastic. We answer the problem of finding doubly stochastic matrices of smallest posible support for every $1 <n \leq m$. Any matrix of minimum…
The Bernstein-von Mises theorem (BvM) gives conditions under which the posterior distribution of a parameter $\theta\in\Theta\subseteq\mathbb R^d$ based on $n$ independent samples is asymptotically normal. In the high-dimensional regime, a…
Common approaches to inference for structural and reduced-form parameters in empirical economic analysis are based on the consistency and the root-n asymptotic normality of the GMM and M estimators. The canonical consistency (respectively,…
Super-stability is one of the stability concepts in the stable matching problem with ties. It is known that there may not exist a super-stable matching, and the existence of a super-stable matching can be checked in polynomial time. In this…
We prove that for any Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb R^n$ there exists a set $X\subset \mathbb R^n$ of $n+1$ points such that any $n$-variate quadratic polynomial $P$ that is nonnegative on $X$ (i.e. $P(x)\geq 0$, for every $x…
