The main result of this paper is a bound on the distance between the distribution of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold and the Gaussian distribution. If $X$ is a random point on a manifold $M$ and $f$ is an…

If the rounding errors are assumed to be distributed independently from the intrinsic distribution of the random variable, the sample variance $s^2$ of the rounded variable is given by the sum of the true variance $\sigma^2$ and the…

Lower and upper bounds are explored for the uniform (Kolmogorov) and $L^2$-distances between the distributions of weighted sums of dependent summands and the normal law. The results are illustrated for several classes of random variables…

The aim of this paper is to obtain convergence in mean in the uniform topology of piecewise linear approximations of Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) with $C^1$ drift and $C^2$ diffusion coefficients with uniformly bounded…

We obtain a uniform $L^{\infty}(\Omega)$ a priori bound, for any positive weak solutions to elliptic problem with a nonlinearity $f$ slightly subcritical, slightly superlinear, and regularly varying. To achieve our result, we first obtain a…

We derive normal approximation bounds in the Wasserstein distance for sums of weighted U-statistics, based on a general distance bound for functionals of independent random variables of arbitrary distributions. Those bounds are applied to…

Exact upper and lower bounds on the ratio $\mathsf{E}w(\mathbf{X}-\mathbf{v})/\mathsf{E}w(\mathbf{X})$ for a centered Gaussian random vector $\mathbf{X}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, as well as bounds on the rate of change of…

We consider 1-dimensional location estimation, where we estimate a parameter $\lambda$ from $n$ samples $\lambda + \eta_i$, with each $\eta_i$ drawn i.i.d. from a known distribution $f$. For fixed $f$ the maximum-likelihood estimate (MLE)…

The universal approximation theorem is generalised to uniform convergence on the (noncompact) input space $\mathbb{R}^n$. All continuous functions that vanish at infinity can be uniformly approximated by neural networks with one hidden…

An explicit bound is given for the Kolmogorov distance between a mixture of normal distributions and a normal distribution with properly chosen parameter values. A random variable X has a mixture of normal distributions if its conditional…

O. Lazarev and E. H. Lieb proved that given $f_{1},...,f_{n}\in L^{1}([0,1];\mathbb{C})$, there exists a smooth function $\Phi$ that takes values on the unit circle and annihilates ${span}\{f_{1},...,f_{n}}$. We give an alternative proof of…

We study the fundamental limits to the expressive power of neural networks. Given two sets $F$, $G$ of real-valued functions, we first prove a general lower bound on how well functions in $F$ can be approximated in $L^p(\mu)$ norm by…

We obtain an optimal deviation from the mean upper bound \begin{equation} D(x)\=\sup_{f\in \F}\mu\{f-\E_{\mu} f\geq x\},\qquad\ \text{for}\ x\in\R\label{abstr} \end{equation} where $\F$ is the class of the integrable, Lipschitz functions on…

For a separable finite diffuse measure space $\mathcal{M}$ and an orthonormal basis $\{\varphi_n\}$ of $L^2(\mathcal{M})$ consisting of bounded functions $\varphi_n\in L^\infty(\mathcal{M})$, we find a measurable subset…

We derive quantitative bounds on the rate of convergence in $L^1$ Wasserstein distance of general M-estimators, with an almost sharp (up to a logarithmic term) behavior in the number of observations. We focus on situations where the…

We study properties of a sample covariance estimate $\widehat \Sigma$ given a finite sample of $n$ i.i.d. centered random elements in $\R^d$ with the covariance matrix $\Sigma$. We derive dimension-free bounds on the squared Frobenius norm…

Given a non-negative random variable $W$ and $\theta>0$, let the generalized Dickman transformation map the distribution of $W$ to that of $$ W^*=_d U^{1/\theta}(W+1), $$ where $U \sim {\cal U}[0,1]$, a uniformly distributed variable on the…

Fix strictly increasing right continuous functions with left limits $W_i:\bb R \to \bb R$, $i=1,...,d$, and let $W(x) = \sum_{i=1}^d W_i(x_i)$ for $x\in\bb R^d$. We construct the $W$-Sobolev spaces, which consist of functions $f$ having…

New bounds for the $k$-th order derivatives of the solutions of the normal and multivariate normal Stein equations are obtained. Our general order bounds involve fewer derivatives of the test function than those in the existing literature.…

Let $X_1,\dots,X_n$ be i.i.d. log-concave random vectors in $\mathbb R^d$ with mean 0 and covariance matrix $\Sigma$. We study the problem of quantifying the normal approximation error for $W=n^{-1/2}\sum_{i=1}^nX_i$ with explicit…
