In this paper, we propose a fast and convergent algorithm to solve unassigned distance geometry problems (uDGP). Technically, we construct a novel quadratic measurement model by leveraging $\ell_0$-norm instead of $\ell_1$-norm in the…

Suppose that $K \subseteq \RR^d$ is a 0-symmetric convex body which defines the usual norm $$ \Norm{x}_K = \sup\Set{t\ge 0: x \notin tK} $$ on $\RR^d$. Let also $A\subseteq\RR^d$ be a measurable set of positive upper density $\rho$. We show…

Characterizing rectifiability of Radon measures in Euclidean space has led to fundamental contributions to geometric measure theory. Conditions involving existence of principal values of certain singular integrals…

We study the Riemannian distance function from a fixed point (a point-wise target) of Euclidean space in the presence of a compact obstacle bounded by a smooth hypersurface. First, we show that such a function is locally semiconcave with a…

The Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) is a widely used multivariate distance metric for two-sample testing. The standard MMD test statistic has an intractable null distribution typically requiring costly resampling or permutation approaches…

In this paper we adopt an alternative, analytical approach to Arnol'd problem \cite{A1} about the existence of closed and embedded $K$-magnetic geodesics in the round $2$-sphere $\mathbb S^2$, where $K: \mathbb S^2 \rightarrow \mathbb R$ is…

Given a matrix $D$ describing the pairwise dissimilarities of a data set, a common task is to embed the data points into Euclidean space. The classical multidimensional scaling (cMDS) algorithm is a widespread method to do this. However,…

Distances are pervasive in machine learning. They serve as similarity measures, loss functions, and learning targets; it is said that a good distance measure solves a task. When defining distances, the triangle inequality has proven to be a…

An equidistant set in the Euclidean space consists of points having equal distances to both members of a given pair of sets, called focal sets. Having no effective formulas to compute the distance of a point and a set, it is hard to…

We give a systematic and thorough study of geometric notions and results connected to Minkowski's measure of symmetry and the extension of the well-known Minkowski functional to arbitrary, not necessarily symmetric convex bodies K on any…

We initiate the study of sparse recovery problems under the Earth-Mover Distance (EMD). Specifically, we design a distribution over m x n matrices A such that for any x, given Ax, we can recover a k-sparse approximation to x under the EMD…

We study the asymptotic properties of geodesically convex $M$-estimation on non-linear spaces. Namely, we prove that under very minimal assumptions besides geodesic convexity of the cost function, one can obtain consistency and asymptotic…

The total disaster may be controllable if not preventable. We will explore this phenomenon for singularities in metric spaces. A point in an $n$-dimensional Alexandrov space is called regular if its tangent cone is isometric to $\mathbb…

Given a subset K of the unit Euclidean sphere, we estimate the minimal number m = m(K) of hyperplanes that generate a uniform tessellation of K, in the sense that the fraction of the hyperplanes separating any pair x, y in K is nearly…

Gangbo and McCann showed that optimal transportation between hypersurfaces generally leads to multivalued optimal maps - bivalent when the target surface is strictly convex. In this paper we quantify H\"older continuity of the bivalent map…

We consider the global Hadamard condition and the notion of Hadamard parametrix whose use is pervasive in algebraic QFT in curved spacetime (see refences in the main text). We point out the existence of a technical problem in the literature…

In a recent work [arXiv:2307.13489 [gr-qc]], we have described spherically symmetric and static quantum black holes as deformations of the classical Schwarzschild metric that depend on the physical distance to the horizon. We have developed…

Euclidean distance matrices (EDMs) are a major tool for localization from distances, with applications ranging from protein structure determination to global positioning and manifold learning. They are, however, static objects which serve…

Given a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, we define \begin{align*} \mathrm{conv}_k(A) := \left\{ \lambda_1 s_1 + \cdots + \lambda_k s_k : \lambda_i \in [0,1], \sum_{i=1}^k \lambda_i = 1 , s_i \in A \right\} \end{align*} to be the set of vectors…

We extend to Minkowski spaces the classical result of Barbosa and do Carmo [1] that characterizes the euclidean sphere as the unique compact stable CMC hypersurface of $\mathbb R^n$. More precisely, if $K$ is a smooth convex body in…
