Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_i |i\in I\}$ is some partition of all primes $\mathbb{P}$ and $G$ a finite group. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be $\sigma$-subnormal in $G$ if there exists a subgroup chain $H=H_0\leq H_1\leq \cdots \leq H_n=G$…

Due to its heavy-tailed and fully parametric form, the multivariate generalized Gaussian distribution (MGGD) has been receiving much attention for modeling extreme events in signal and image processing applications. Considering the…

When the Fermi surface and the Brillouin zone boundary touch at a Van Hove point, mean-field analysis predicts a ferromagnetic (Stoner) instability at finite $T_{MF}$ for any coupling strength due to the divergent density of states.…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a directed graph with vertices $1,2,\ldots, 2N$. Let $\mathcal{T}=(T_{i,j})_{(i,j)\in\mathcal{G}}$ be a family of contractive similitudes. For every $1\leq i\leq N$, let $i^+:=i+N$. For $1\leq i,j\leq N$, we define…

In a recent paper, Nguyen, Kuhn, and Esfahani (2018) built a distributionally robust estimator for the precision matrix of the Gaussian distribution. The distributional uncertainty size is a key ingredient in the construction of this…

For any discrete target distribution, we exploit the connection between Markov chains and Stein's method via the generator approach and express the solution of Stein's equation in terms of expected hitting time. This yields new upper bounds…

This paper provides an introduction to the Stein method framework in the context of steady-state diffusion approximations. The framework consists of three components: the Poisson equation and gradient bounds, generator coupling, and moment…

It is well known that a relation $\varphi$ between sets is regular if, and only if, $\mathcal{K}\varphi$ is completely distributive (cd), where $\mathcal{K}\varphi$ is the complete lattice consisting of fixed points of the Kan adjunction…

The concentration inequality approach for normal approximation by Stein's method is generalized to the multivariate setting. We use this approach to prove a non-smooth function distance for multivariate normal approximation for standardized…

Motivated by the omnipresence of extreme value distributions in limit theorems involving extremes of random processes, we adapt Stein's method to include these laws as possible target distributions. We do so by using the generator approach…

For H\"older continuous functions $f_i$, $i=0,\ldots ,d$, on a subshift of finite type and $\Theta\subset \mathbb \R^d$ we consider a parametrized family of potentials $\{F_\theta= f_0+\sum_{i=1}^d \theta_i f_i : \theta\in \Theta\}$. We…

Let ${X_1,...,X_n}$ be i.i.d. random observations. Let $\mathbb{S}=\mathbb{L}+\mathbb{T}$ be a $U$-statistic of order $k\ge2$ where $\mathbb{L}$ is a linear statistic having asymptotic normal distribution, and $\mathbb{T}$ is a…

We consider linear spectral statistics of the form $\mathrm{tr} ( \varphi (H))$ for test functions $\varphi$ of low regularity and Wigner matrices $H$ with smooth entry distribution. We show that for functions $\varphi$ in the Sobolev space…

This review traces the evolution of theory that started when Charles Stein in 1955 [In Proc. 3rd Berkeley Sympos. Math. Statist. Probab. I (1956) 197--206, Univ. California Press] showed that using each separate sample mean from $k\ge3$…

In this paper, we consider filtration-consistent nonlinear expectations which satisfy a general domination condition (dominated by ${\cal{E}}^{\phi}$). We show that this kind of nonlinear expectations can be represented by $g$-expectations…

Stembridge characterized regular crystals associated with a simply-laced generalized Cartan matrix (GCM) in terms of local graph-theoretic quantities. We give a similar axiomatization for $B_2$ regular crystals and thus for regular crystals…

We use Stein characterizations to obtain new moment-type estimators for the parameters of three classical spherical distributions (namely the Fisher-Bingham, the von Mises-Fisher, and the Watson distributions) in the i.i.d. case. This leads…

A standard Gelfand-Tsetlin pattern of depth $n$ is a configuration of particles in $\{1,...,n\} \times \R$. For each $r \in \{1,...,n\}$, $\{r\} \times \R$ is referred to as the $r^\text{th}$ level of the pattern. A standard Gelfand-Tsetlin…

We develop a theory of bicrystalline ideals, synthesizing Gr\"obner basis techniques and Kashiwara's crystal theory. This provides a unified algebraic, combinatorial, and computational approach that applies to ideals of interest, old and…

We show that the Gamma distribution is not an adequate fit for the probability density function of drop diameters using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness of fit test. We propose a different parametrization of drop size distributions, which…
