We introduce an interesting method of proving separable reduction theorems - the method of elementary submodels. We are studying whether it is true that a set (function) has given property if and only if it has this property with respect to…

For a finite set of integers such that the first few gaps between its consecutive elements equal $a$, while the remaining gaps equal $b$, we study dense packings of its translates on the line. We obtain an explicit lower bound on the…

Michalski gave a short and elegant proof of a theorem of A. Kumar which states that for each set A in R, there exists a subset B of A which is full in A and such that no distance between points in B is a rational number. He also proved a…

Given a point and an expanding map on the unit interval, we consider the set of points for which the forward orbit under this map is bounded away from the given point. For maps like multiplication by an integer modulo 1, such sets have full…

Consider an i.i.d. sample from an unknown density function supported on an unknown manifold embedded in a high dimensional Euclidean space. We tackle the problem of learning a distance between points, able to capture both the geometry of…

The main goal of this note is to prove the following theorem. If $A_n$ is a sequence of measurable sets in a $\sigma$-finite measure space $(X, \mathcal{A}, \mu)$ that covers $\mu$-a.e. $x \in X$ infinitely many times, then there exists a…

Let $A$ be a countable and discrete subset of ${\Bbb R}^d$, $d \ge 2$, of positive upper Beurling density. Let $K$ denote a bounded symmetric convex set with a smooth boundary and everywhere non-vanishing Gaussian curvature. It is known…

We consider a collection of fully coupled weakly interacting diffusion processes moving in a two-scale environment. We study the moderate deviations principle of the empirical distribution of the particles' positions in the combined limit…

Consider a string of $n$ positions, i.e. a discrete string of length $n$. Units of length $k$ are placed at random on this string in such a way that they do not overlap, and as often as possible, i.e. until all spacings between neighboring…

Let (X,d,p) be a metric space with a metric d and a marked point p. We define the set of w-strongly porous at 0 subsets of [0,\infty) and prove that the distance set {d(x,p): x\in X} is w-strongly porous at 0 if and only if every pretangent…

For a set $A\subseteq\left[k\right]^{n}=\left\{ 0,\dots,k-1\right\} ^{n}$, we define the $d$-shadow of $A$ to be the set of points obtained by flipping to zero one of the non-zero coordinates of some point in $A$. Let…

We prove the following three statements: 1) Let $(A, \bar A)$ be a partition of the spherical surface $S^n$ into two measurable sets. Let $st_A$ and $st_{\bar A}$ be their measure density functions of distance. Then $|st_A - st_{\bar A}|$…

We examine the class of weakly porous sets in Euclidean spaces. As our first main result we show that the distance weight $w(x)=\operatorname{dist}(x,E)^{-\alpha}$ belongs to the Muckenhoupt class $A_1$, for some $\alpha>0$, if and only if…

For every integer $k \geq 2$ and every $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, we define the \emph{$k$-directions sets} of $A$ as $D^k(A) := \{{\bf a} / \|{\bf a}\| : {\bf a} \in A^k\}$ and $D^{\underline{k}}(A) := \{{\bf a} / \|{\bf a}\| : {\bf a} \in…

Employing nonparametric methods for density estimation has become routine in Bayesian statistical practice. Models based on discrete nonparametric priors such as Dirichlet Process Mixture (DPM) models are very attractive choices due to…

Nearest neighbor cells in $R^d,d\in\mathbb{N}$, are used to define coefficients of divergence ($\phi$-divergences) between continuous multivariate samples. For large sample sizes, such distances are shown to be asymptotically normal with a…

This paper presents a distance function between sets based on an average of distances between their elements. The distance function is a metric if the sets are non-empty finite subsets of a metric space. It can be applied to produce various…

We elaborate on the intimate connection between the largest volume of an empty axis-parallel box in a set of $n$ points from $[0,1]^d$ and cover-free families from the extremal set theory. This connection was discovered in a recent paper of…

A consequence of de Finetti's representation theorem is that for every infinite sequence of exchangeable 0-1 random variables $(X_k)_{k\geq1}$, there exists a probability measure $\mu$ on the Borel sets of $[0,1]$ such that $\bar X_n =…

The pattern avoidance problem seeks to construct a set $X\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with large dimension that avoids a prescribed pattern. Examples of such patterns include three-term arithmetic progressions (solutions to $x_1 - 2x_2 + x_3 =…
