We give essentially tight bounds for, $\nu(d,k)$, the maximum number of distinct neighbourhoods on a set $X$ of $k$ vertices in a graph with twin-width at most~$d$. Using the celebrated Marcus-Tardos theorem, two independent works [Bonnet et al., Algorithmica '22; Przybyszewski '22] have shown the upper bound $\nu(d,k) \leqslant \exp(\exp(O(d)))k$, with a double-exponential dependence in the twin-width. The work of [Gajarsky et al., ICALP '22], using the framework of local types, implies the existence of a single-exponential bound (without explicitly stating such a bound). We give such an explicit bound, and prove that it is essentially tight. Indeed, we give a short self-contained proof that for every $d$ and $k$ $$\nu(d,k) \leqslant (d+2)2^{d+1}k = 2^{d+\log d+\Theta(1)}k,$$ and build a bipartite graph implying $\nu(d,k) \geqslant 2^{d+\log d+\Theta(1)}k$, in the regime when $k$ is large enough compared to~$d$.

In this paper we study the orbit closure problem for a reductive group $G\subseteq GL(X)$ acting on a finite dimensional vector space $V$ over ${\mathbb C}$. We assume that the center of $GL(X)$ lies within $G$ and acts on $V$ through a fixed non-trivial character. We study points $y,z\in V$ where (i) $z$ is obtained as the leading term of the action of a 1-parameter subgroup $\lambda (t)\subseteq G$ on $y$, and (ii) $y$ and $z$ have large distinctive stabilizers $K,H \subseteq G$. Let $O(z)$ (resp. $O(y)$) denote the $G$-orbits of $z$ (resp. $y$), and $\overline{O(z)}$ (resp. $\overline{O(y)}$) their closures, then (i) implies that $z\in \overline{O(y)}$. We address the question: under what conditions can (i) and (ii) be simultaneously satisfied, i.e, there exists a 1-PS $\lambda \subseteq G$ for which $z$ is observed as a limit of $y$. Using $\lambda$, we develop a leading term analysis which applies to $V$ as well as to ${\cal G}= Lie(G)$ the Lie algebra of $G$ and its subalgebras ${\cal K}$ and ${\cal H}$, the Lie algebras of $K$ and $H$ respectively. Through this we construct the Lie algebra $\hat{\cal K} \subseteq {\cal H}$ which connects $y$ and $z$ through their Lie algebras. We develop the properties of $\hat{\cal K}$ and relate it to the action of ${\cal H}$ on $\overline{N}=V/T_z O(z)$, the normal slice to the orbit $O(z)$. Next, we examine the possibility of {\em intermediate $G$-varieties} $W$ which lie between the orbit closures of $z$ and $y$, i.e. $\overline{O(z)} \subsetneq W \subsetneq O(y)$. These intermediate varieties are constructed using the grading obtained from $\lambda $ by its action on $V$ and ${\cal G}$. The paper hopes to contribute to the Geometric Complexity Theory approach of addressing problems in computational complexity in theoretical computer science.
We give a $\widetilde{O}(n)$ time almost uniform sampler for independent sets of a matroid, whose ground set has $n$ elements and is given by an independence oracle. As a consequence, one can sample connected spanning subgraphs of a given graph $G=(V,E)$ in $\widetilde{O}(|E|)$ time. This leads to improved running time on estimating all-terminal network reliability. Furthermore, we generalise this near-linear time sampler to the random cluster model with $q\le 1$.
Given a sample of size $N$, it is often useful to select a subsample of smaller size $n<N$ to be used for statistical estimation or learning. Such a data selection step is useful to reduce the requirements of data labeling and the computational complexity of learning. We assume to be given $N$ unlabeled samples $\{{\boldsymbol x}_i\}_{i\le N}$, and to be given access to a `surrogate model' that can predict labels $y_i$ better than random guessing. Our goal is to select a subset of the samples, to be denoted by $\{{\boldsymbol x}_i\}_{i\in G}$, of size $|G|=n<N$. We then acquire labels for this set and we use them to train a model via regularized empirical risk minimization. By using a mixture of numerical experiments on real and synthetic data, and mathematical derivations under low- and high- dimensional asymptotics, we show that: $(i)$~Data selection can be very effective, in particular beating training on the full sample in some cases; $(ii)$~Certain popular choices in data selection methods (e.g. unbiased reweighted subsampling, or influence function-based subsampling) can be substantially suboptimal.
We analyze the conforming approximation of the time-harmonic Maxwell's equations using N\'ed\'elec (edge) finite elements. We prove that the approximation is asymptotically optimal, i.e., the approximation error in the energy norm is bounded by the best-approximation error times a constant that tends to one as the mesh is refined and/or the polynomial degree is increased. Moreover, under the same conditions on the mesh and/or the polynomial degree, we establish discrete inf-sup stability with a constant that corresponds to the continuous constant up to a factor of two at most. Our proofs apply under minimal regularity assumptions on the exact solution, so that general domains, material coefficients, and right-hand sides are allowed.
We consider approximating solutions to parameterized linear systems of the form $A(\mu_1,\mu_2) x(\mu_1,\mu_2) = b$, where $(\mu_1, \mu_2) \in \mathbb{R}^2$. Here the matrix $A(\mu_1,\mu_2) \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ is nonsingular, large, and sparse and depends nonlinearly on the parameters $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$. Specifically, the system arises from a discretization of a partial differential equation and $x(\mu_1,\mu_2) \in \mathbb{R}^n$, $b \in \mathbb{R}^n$. This work combines companion linearization with the Krylov subspace method preconditioned bi-conjugate gradient (BiCG) and a decomposition of a tensor matrix of precomputed solutions, called snapshots. As a result, a reduced order model of $x(\mu_1,\mu_2)$ is constructed, and this model can be evaluated in a cheap way for many values of the parameters. The decomposition is performed efficiently using the sparse grid based higher-order proper generalized decomposition (HOPGD), and the snapshots are generated as one variable functions of $\mu_1$ or of $\mu_2$. Tensor decompositions performed on a set of snapshots can fail to reach a certain level of accuracy, and it is not possible to know a priori if the decomposition will be successful. This method offers a way to generate a new set of solutions on the same parameter space at little additional cost. An interpolation of the model is used to produce approximations on the entire parameter space, and this method can be used to solve a parameter estimation problem. Numerical examples of a parameterized Helmholtz equation show the competitiveness of our approach. The simulations are reproducible, and the software is available online.
We identify a family of $O(|E(G)|^2)$ nontrivial facets of the connected matching polytope of a graph $G$, that is, the convex hull of incidence vectors of matchings in $G$ whose covered vertices induce a connected subgraph. Accompanying software to further inspect the polytope of an input graph is available.
Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold. If $\mu$ is a probability measure on $M$ given by a continuous density function, one would expect the Fr\'{e}chet means of data-samples $Q=(q_1,q_2,\dots, q_N)\in M^N$, with respect to $\mu$, to behave ``generically''; e.g. the probability that the Fr\'{e}chet mean set $\mbox{FM}(Q)$ has any elements that lie in a given, positive-codimension submanifold, should be zero for any $N\geq 1$. Even this simplest instance of genericity does not seem to have been proven in the literature, except in special cases. The main result of this paper is a general, and stronger, genericity property: given i.i.d. absolutely continuous $M$-valued random variables $X_1,\dots, X_N$, and a subset $A\subset M$ of volume-measure zero, $\mbox{Pr}\left\{\mbox{FM}(\{X_1,\dots,X_N\})\subset M\backslash A\right\}=1.$ We also establish a companion theorem for equivariant Fr\'{e}chet means, defined when $(M,g)$ arises as the quotient of a Riemannian manifold $(\widetilde{M},\tilde{g})$ by a free, isometric action of a finite group. The equivariant Fr\'{e}chet means lie in $\widetilde{M}$, but, as we show, project down to the ordinary Fr\'{e}chet sample means, and enjoy a similar genericity property. Both these theorems are proven as consequences of a purely geometric (and quite general) result that constitutes the core mathematics in this paper: If $A\subset M$ has volume zero in $M$ , then the set $\{Q\in M^N : \mbox{FM}(Q) \cap A\neq\emptyset\}$ has volume zero in $M^N$. We conclude the paper with an application to partial scaling-rotation means, a type of mean for symmetric positive-definite matrices.
We perturb a real matrix $A$ of full column rank, and derive lower bounds for the smallest singular values of the perturbed matrix, in terms of normwise absolute perturbations. Our bounds, which extend existing lower-order expressions, demonstrate the potential increase in the smallest singular values, and represent a qualitative model for the increase in the small singular values after a matrix has been downcast to a lower arithmetic precision. Numerical experiments confirm the qualitative validity of this model and its ability to predict singular values changes in the presence of decreased arithmetic precision.
This paper studies the extreme singular values of non-harmonic Fourier matrices. Such a matrix of size $m\times s$ can be written as $\Phi=[ e^{-2\pi i j x_k}]_{j=0,1,\dots,m-1, k=1,2,\dots,s}$ for some set $\mathcal{X}=\{x_k\}_{k=1}^s$. The main results provide explicit lower bounds for the smallest singular value of $\Phi$ under the assumption $m\geq 6s$ and without any restrictions on $\mathcal{X}$. They show that for an appropriate scale $\tau$ determined by a density criteria, interactions between elements in $\mathcal{X}$ at scales smaller than $\tau$ are most significant and depends on the multiscale structure of $\mathcal{X}$ at fine scales, while distances larger than $\tau$ are less important and only depend on the local sparsity of the far away points. Theoretical and numerical comparisons show that the main results significantly improve upon classical bounds and achieve the same rate that was previously discovered for more restrictive settings.
We prove tight bounds on the site percolation threshold for $k$-uniform hypergraphs of maximum degree $\Delta$ and for $k$-uniform hypergraphs of maximum degree $\Delta$ in which any pair of edges overlaps in at most $r$ vertices. The hypergraphs that achieve these bounds are hypertrees, but unlike in the case of graphs, there are many different $k$-uniform, $\Delta$-regular hypertrees. Determining the extremal tree for a given $k, \Delta, r$ involves an optimization problem, and our bounds arise from a convex relaxation of this problem. By combining our percolation bounds with the method of disagreement percolation we obtain improved bounds on the uniqueness threshold for the hard-core model on hypergraphs satisfying the same constraints. Our uniqueness conditions imply exponential weak spatial mixing, and go beyond the known bounds for rapid mixing of local Markov chains and existence of efficient approximate counting and sampling algorithms. Our results lead to natural conjectures regarding the aforementioned algorithmic tasks, based on the intuition that uniqueness thresholds for the extremal hypertrees for percolation determine computational thresholds.
