Maximal inequalities refer to bounds on expected values of the supremum of averages of random variables over a collection. They play a crucial role in the study of non-parametric and high-dimensional estimators, and especially in the study…
For the Schur polynomials bounded and unbounded generalizations of the Cauchy identities are found.
We give an upper bound on the maximal eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a connected graph in terms of its maximum degree, diameter and order. This bound is best possible up to a constant factor and improves prevoius results of…
Throttling in graphs optimizes a sum or product of resources used, such as the number of vertices in an initial set, and time required, such as the propagation time, to complete a given task. We introduce a new technique to establish sharp…
We obtain new uniform upper bounds for the (non necessarily symmetric) tensor rank of the multiplication in the extensions of the finite fields $\F_q$ for any prime or prime power $q\geq2$; moreover these uniform bounds lead to new…
We obtain bounds for the size of the Schur multiplier of finite $p$-groups and finite groups, which improve all existing bounds. Moreover, we obtain bounds for the size of the second cohomology group $H^2(G,\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})$ of a…
We establish a rather unexpected and simple criterion for the boundedness of Schur multipliers $S_M$ on Schatten $p$-classes which solves a conjecture proposed by Mikael de la Salle. Given $1 < p < \infty$, a simple form our main result…
We consider a random object that is associated with both random walks and random media, specifically, the superposition of a configuration of subcritical Bernoulli percolation on an infinite connected graph and the trace of the simple…
We obtain a bound on the girth g of a quaternion unit gain graph in terms of the rank r of its adjacency matrix. In particular, we show that g <= r + 2 and characterize all quaternion unit gain graphs for which g = r+2. This extends…
This article derives lower bounds on the supremal (strict) p-negative type of finite metric spaces using purely elementary techniques. The bounds depend only on the cardinality and the (scaled) diameter of the underlying finite metric…
In this paper, we prove two lower bounds for the maximum matching size in an arbitrary undirected graph. Despite their simplicity, these results are not widely known. This article aims to bring pleasure to the reader by giving short…
Traces of inverse powers of a positive definite symmetric tridiagonal matrix give lower bounds of the minimal singular value of an upper bidiagonal matrix. In a preceding work, a formula for the traces which gives the diagonal entries of…
For many applications, it is convenient to have good upper bounds for the norm of the inverse of a given matrix. In this paper, we obtain such bounds when A is a Nekrasov matrix, by means of a scaling matrix transforming A into a strictly…
We develop a max-plus spectral theory for infinite matrices. We introduce recurrence and tightness conditions, under which many results of the finite dimensional theory, concerning the representation of eigenvectors and the asymptotic…
This paper considers a variation of the full-information secretary problem where the random variables to be observed are independent but not necessary identically distributed. The main result is a sharp lower bound for the optimal win…
In this paper we prove Morse index theorems for a big class of constrained variational problems on graphs. Such theorems are useful in various physical and geometric applications. Our formulas compute the difference of Morse indices of two…
An upper bound on operator norms of compound matrices is presented, and special cases that involve the $\ell_1$, $\ell_2$ and $\ell_\infty$ norms are investigated. The results are then used to obtain bounds on products of the largest or…
We develop new techniques for proving lower bounds on the least singular value of random matrices with limited randomness. The matrices we consider have entries that are given by polynomials of a few underlying base random variables. This…
Improved model independent upper bounds on the weak transition form factors are derived using inclusive sum rules. Comparison of the new bounds with the old ones is made for the form factors h_{A_1} and h_V in B -> D* decays.
We derive bounds on the size of an independent set based on eigenvalues. This generalizes a result due to Delsarte and Hoffman. We use this to obtain new bounds on the independence number of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graphs. We investigate…
