The level set estimation problem seeks to find all points in a domain ${\cal X}$ where the value of an unknown function $f:{\cal X}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ exceeds a threshold $\alpha$. The estimation is based on noisy function evaluations…

For positive integers $r,k_0,k_1,...,k_{r-1},$ the van der Waerden number $w(k_0,k_1,...,k_{r-1})$ is the least positive integer $n$ such that whenever $\{1,2,...,n\}$ is partitioned into $r$ sets $S_{0},S_{1},...,S_{r-1}$, there is some…

Topological indices play a significant role in mathematical chemistry. Given a graph $\mathcal{G}$ with vertex set $\mathcal{V}=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ and edge set $\mathcal{E}$, let $d_i$ be the degree of node $i$. The degree-based topological…

Extending the ideas of [7], this paper aims at providing a kernel based non-parametric estimation of a new class of time varying AR(1) processes (Xt), with local stationarity and periodic features (with a known period T), inducing the…

We prove an asymptotically tight lower bound on the average size of independent sets in a triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree $d$, showing that an independent set drawn uniformly at random from such a graph has expected…

This paper studies the local structure of continuous random fields on $\mathbb R^d$ taking values in a complete separable linear metric space ${\mathbb V}$. Extending seminal work of Falconer, we show that the generalized $(1+k)$-th order…

The $k$-dimensional generalized Euler function $\varphi_k(n)$ is defined to be the number of ordered $k$-tuples $(a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_k) \in \mathbb{N}^k$ with $1\leq a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_k \leq n$ such that both the product $a_1a_2\cdots a_k$…

We consider vanishing properties of exponential sums of the Liouville function $\lambda$ of the form $$ \lim_{H\to\infty}\limsup_{X\to\infty}\frac{1}{\log X}\sum_{m\leq X}\frac{1}{m}\sup_{\alpha\in C}\bigg|\frac{1}{H}\sum_{h\leq…

The Pairwise Einstein Model (PEM) of steps not only justifies the use of the Generalized Wigner Distribution (GWD) for Terrace Width Distributions (TWDs), it also predicts a specific form for the Step Position Distribution (SPD), i.e., the…

Two typical fixed-length random number generation problems in information theory are considered for general sources. One is the source resolvability problem and the other is the intrinsic randomness problem. In each of these problems, the…

Let $\{X_{i}, i\in J\}$ be a family of locally dependent non-negative integer-valued random variables with finite expectations and variances. We consider the sum $W=\sum_{i\in J}X_i$ and use Stein's method to establish general upper error…

Linear TD($\lambda$) is one of the most fundamental reinforcement learning algorithms for policy evaluation. Previously, convergence rates are typically established under the assumption of linearly independent features, which does not hold…

Random walks in random scenery are processes defined by $Z_n:=\sum_{k=1}^n\xi_{X_1+...+X_k}$, where $(X_k,k\ge 1)$ and $(\xi_y,y\in\mathbb Z)$ are two independent sequences of i.i.d. random variables. We assume here that their distributions…

Let $s:[1,\infty) \to \C $ be a locally integrable function in Lebesgue's sense. The logarithmic (also called harmonic) mean of the function $s$ is defined by [\tau(t) := \frac 1{\log t} \int_1^t \frac {s(x)}{x} dx, \qquad t>1,] where the…

Similarity metrics are central in the theory of large networks and graph limits. For bounded-degree graphs, the Benjamini--Schramm metric records the distribution of rooted neighbourhoods, while the stronger colored-neighbourhood metric…

We provide a new analysis of local SGD, removing unnecessary assumptions and elaborating on the difference between two data regimes: identical and heterogeneous. In both cases, we improve the existing theory and provide values of the…

Let $n\geq 1,0<\rho<1, \max\{\rho,1-\rho\}\leq \delta\leq 1$ and $$m_1=\rho-n+(n-1)\min\{\frac 12,\rho\}+\frac {1-\delta}{2}.$$ If the amplitude $a$ belongs to the H\"{o}rmander class $S^{m_1}_{\rho,\delta}$ and $\phi\in \Phi^{2}$ satisfies…

Expectation thresholds arise from a class of integer linear programs (LPs) that are fundamental to the study of thresholds in large random systems. An avenue towards estimating expectation thresholds comes from the fractional relaxation of…

We introduce Transductive Local Complexity (TLC) to extend the classical Local Rademacher Complexity (LRC) to the transductive setting, incorporating substantial and novel components. Although LRC has been used to obtain sharp…

For each positive integer $r$, let $S_r$ denote the $r^{th}$ Schemmel totient function, a multiplicative arithmetic function defined by \[S_r(p^{\alpha})=\begin{cases} 0, & \mbox{if } p\leq r; \\ p^{\alpha-1}(p-r), & \mbox{if } p>r…
