The shift distance $\mathsf{sh}(S_1,S_2)$ between two strings $S_1$ and $S_2$ of the same length is defined as the minimum Hamming distance between $S_1$ and any rotation (cyclic shift) of $S_2$. We study the problem of sketching the shift…

In this paper, we study the following two hypercube coloring problems: Given $n$ and $d$, find the minimum number of colors, denoted as ${\chi}'_{d}(n)$ (resp. ${\chi}_{d}(n)$), needed to color the vertices of the $n$-cube such that any two…

We consider a Schelling model of self-organized segregation in an open system that is equivalent to a zero-temperature Ising model with Glauber dynamics, or an Asynchronous Cellular Automaton (ACA) with extended Moore neighborhoods.…

A two-dimensional grid with dots is called a \emph{configuration with distinct differences} if any two lines which connect two dots are distinct either in their length or in their slope. These configurations are known to have many…

The Dushnik-Miller dimension of a partially-ordered set $P$ is the smallest $d$ such that one can embed $P$ into a product of $d$ linear orders. We prove that the dimension of the divisibility order on the interval $\{1, \dotsc, n\}$, is…

The dispersion of a point set $P\subset[0,1]^d$ is the volume of the largest box with sides parallel to the coordinate axes, which does not intersect $P$. Here, we show a construction of low-dispersion point sets, which can be deduced from…

We present a new algorithm for estimating the star discrepancy of arbitrary point sets. Similar to the algorithm for discrepancy approximation of Winker and Fang [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 34 (1997), 2028--2042] it is based on the optimization…

For any two point sets $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of size up to $n$, the Chamfer distance from $A$ to $B$ is defined as $\text{CH}(A,B)=\sum_{a \in A} \min_{b \in B} d_X(a,b)$, where $d_X$ is the underlying distance measure (e.g., the…

The time-harmonic Maxwell equations with impedance boundary condition and large wave number are discretized using the second-type N\'{e}d\'{e}lec's edge element method (EEM). Preasymptotic error bounds are derived, showing that, under the…

The binary Mumford-Shah model is a widespread tool for image segmentation and can be considered as a basic model in shape optimization with a broad range of applications in computer vision, ranging from basic segmentation and labeling to…

For any $\varepsilon > 0$, we prove that $k$-Dimensional Matching is hard to approximate within a factor of $k/(12 + \varepsilon)$ for large $k$ unless $\textsf{NP} \subseteq \textsf{BPP}$. Listed in Karp's 21 $\textsf{NP}$-complete…

On the basis of a model system of pillars built of unit cubes, a two-component entropic measure for the multiscale analysis of spatio-compositional inhomogeneity is proposed. It quantifies the statistical dissimilarity per cell of the…

Subshifts are sets of colorings of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ defined by families of forbidden patterns. In a given subshift, the extender set of a finite pattern is the set of all its admissible completions. Since soficity of $\mathbb{Z}$ subshifts is…

We consider infinite graphs. The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colours in a vertex colouring of $G$ that is preserved only by the trivial automorphism. An analogous invariant for edge colourings is…

We study the probabilistic existence of point configurations satisfying the $(0, m, d)$-net property in base $b$ within a randomly generated point set of size $N$ in the $d$-dimensional unit cube. We first derive an upper bound on the…

We investigate the construction of early stopping rules in the nonparametric regression problem where iterative learning algorithms are used and the optimal iteration number is unknown. More precisely, we study the discrepancy principle, as…

Given a point set $P\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, the kernel density estimate of $P$ is defined as \[ \overline{\mathcal{G}}_P(x) = \frac{1}{\left|P\right|}\sum_{p\in P}e^{-\left\lVert x-p \right\rVert^2} \] for any $x\in\mathbb{R}^d$. We study…

We prove sharp wavenumber-explicit error bounds for first- or second-family-N\'ed\'elec-element (a.k.a. edge-element) conforming discretisations, of arbitrary (fixed) order, of the variable-coefficient time-harmonic Maxwell equations posed…

The binary divergences that are divergences between probability measures defined on the same 2-point set have an interesting property. For the chi-squared divergence and the relative entropy, it is known that their binary divergence attain…

Given a set of points $P$ and axis-aligned rectangles $\mathcal{R}$ in the plane, a point $p \in P$ is called \emph{exposed} if it lies outside all rectangles in $\mathcal{R}$. In the \emph{max-exposure problem}, given an integer parameter…
