We report a new statistical general property in traveling salesman problem, that the $n$th-nearest-neighbor distribution of optimal tours verifies with very high accuracy an exponential decay as a function of the order of neighbor $n$. With…

Given a collection $\{\lambda_1, \dots, \lambda_n\} $ of real numbers, there is a canonical probability distribution on the set of real symmetric or complex Hermitian matrices with eigenvalues $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n$. In this paper, we…

We study the polynomial approximation of symmetric multivariate functions and of multi-set functions. Specifically, we consider $f(x_1, \dots, x_N)$, where $x_i \in \mathbb{R}^d$, and $f$ is invariant under permutations of its $N$…

We explore the asymptotic distributions of sequences of integer-valued additive functions defined on the symmetric group endowed with the Ewens probability measure as the order of the group increases. Applying the method of factorial…

Consider the sample covariance matrix $$\Sigma^{1/2}XX^T\Sigma^{1/2}$$ where $X$ is an $M\times N$ random matrix with independent entries and $\Sigma$ is an $M\times M$ diagonal matrix. It is known that if $\Sigma$ is deterministic, then…

For $f$ a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we prove convergence in distribution of the appropriately normalised partial sums \[ \frac{{(\log \log x)}^{1/4}}{\sqrt{x}} \sum_{\substack{n \leq x \\ P(n) > \sqrt{x}}} f(n), \] where…

We use admissible permutations and a variant of the Floyd-Warshall algorithm to obtain an optimal solution to the Assignment Problem. Using another variant of the F-W algorithm, we obtain an approximate solution to the Traveling Salesman…

This paper discusses the simultaneous inference of mean parameters in a family of distributions with quadratic variance function. We first introduce a class of semiparametric/parametric shrinkage estimators and establish their asymptotic…

Symmetric submodular functions are an important family of submodular functions capturing many interesting cases including cut functions of graphs and hypergraphs. Maximization of such functions subject to various constraints receives little…

In this paper we address the complexity of solving linear programming problems with a set of differential equations that converge to a fixed point that represents the optimal solution. Assuming a probabilistic model, where the inputs are…

The distribution of reversible programs tends to a limit as their size increases. For problems with a Hamming distance fitness function the limiting distribution is binomial with an exponentially small chance (but non~zero) chance of…

We study the value distribution and extreme values of eigenfunctions for the ``quantized cat map''. This is the quantization of a hyperbolic linear map of the torus. In a previous paper it was observed that there are quantum symmetries of…

Let $\Gamma_{g}$ be the fundamental group of a closed connected orientable surface of genus $g\geq2$. We develop a new method for integrating over the representation space $\mathbb{X}_{g,n}=\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma_{g},S_{n})$ where $S_{n}$ is…

We study random normal matrix models whose eigenvalues tend to be distributed within a narrow "band" around the unit circle of width proportional to $\frac1n$, where $n$ is the size of matrices. For general radially symmetric potentials…

We give a constant factor approximation algorithm for the asymmetric traveling salesman problem when the support graph of the solution of the Held-Karp linear programming relaxation has bounded orientable genus.

Starting with M(a), an n X n asymmetric cost matrix, Jonker and Volgenannt transformed it into a 2n X 2n symmetric cost matrix, M(s)where M(s) has unusual properties. One such property is that an optimal tour in M(s) yields an optimal tour…

Given a permutation $\sigma = \sigma_1 \ldots \sigma_n$ in the symmetric group $\mathcal{S}_{n}$, we say that $\sigma_i$ matches the quadrant marked mesh pattern $\mathrm{MMP}(a,b,c,d)$ in $\sigma$ if there are at least $a$ points to the…

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on the set $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Given a permutation $\sigma=\sigma_1\sigma_2 \cdots \sigma_n \in S_n$, we say it has a descent at index $i$ if $\sigma_i>\sigma_{i+1}$. Let $\mathcal{D}(\sigma)$ be the…

We consider a one-dimensional discrete symmetric random walk with a reflecting boundary at the origin. Generating functions are found for the 2- dimensional probability distribution P{Sn = x,max1?j?n Sn = a} of being at position x after n…

Selecting N random points in a unit square corresponds to selecting a random permutation. By putting 5 types of symmetry restrictions on the points, we obtain subsets of permutations : involutions, signed permutations and signed…
