The main reason for query model's prominence in complexity theory and quantum computing is the presence of concrete lower bounding techniques: polynomial and adversary method. There have been considerable efforts to give lower bounds using these methods, and to compare/relate them with other measures based on the decision tree. We explore the value of these lower bounds on quantum query complexity and their relation with other decision tree based complexity measures for the class of symmetric functions, arguably one of the most natural and basic sets of Boolean functions. We show an explicit construction for the dual of the positive adversary method and also of the square root of private coin certificate game complexity for any total symmetric function. This shows that the two values can't be distinguished for any symmetric function. Additionally, we show that the recently introduced measure of spectral sensitivity gives the same value as both positive adversary and approximate degree for every total symmetric Boolean function. Further, we look at the quantum query complexity of Gap Majority, a partial symmetric function. It has gained importance recently in regard to understanding the composition of randomized query complexity. We characterize the quantum query complexity of Gap Majority and show a lower bound on noisy randomized query complexity (Ben-David and Blais, FOCS 2020) in terms of quantum query complexity. Finally, we study how large certificate complexity and block sensitivity can be as compared to sensitivity for symmetric functions (even up to constant factors). We show tight separations, i.e., give upper bounds on possible separations and construct functions achieving the same.

In a regression model with multiple response variables and multiple explanatory variables, if the difference of the mean vectors of the response variables for different values of explanatory variables is always in the direction of the first principal eigenvector of the covariance matrix of the response variables, then it is called a multivariate allometric regression model. This paper studies the estimation of the first principal eigenvector in the multivariate allometric regression model. A class of estimators that includes conventional estimators is proposed based on weighted sum-of-squares matrices of regression sum-of-squares matrix and residual sum-of-squares matrix. We establish an upper bound of the mean squared error of the estimators contained in this class, and the weight value minimizing the upper bound is derived. Sufficient conditions for the consistency of the estimators are discussed in weak identifiability regimes under which the difference of the largest and second largest eigenvalues of the covariance matrix decays asymptotically and in ``large $p$, large $n$" regimes, where $p$ is the number of response variables and $n$ is the sample size. Several numerical results are also presented.

The presence of faulty or underactuated manipulators can disrupt the end-effector formation keeping of a team of manipulators. Based on two-link planar manipulators, we investigate this end-effector formation keeping problem for mixed fully- and under-actuated manipulators with flexible joints. In this case, the underactuated manipulators can comprise of active-passive (AP) manipulators, passive-active (PA) manipulators, or a combination thereof. We propose distributed control laws for the different types of manipulators to achieve and maintain the desired formation shape of the end-effectors. It is achieved by assigning virtual springs to the end-effectors for the fully-actuated ones and to the virtual end-effectors for the under-actuated ones. We study further the set of all desired and reachable shapes for the networked manipulators' end-effectors. Finally, we validate our analysis via numerical simulations.

The uniform interpolation property in a given logic can be understood as the definability of propositional quantifiers. We mechanise the computation of these quantifiers and prove correctness in the Coq proof assistant for three modal logics, namely: (1) the modal logic K, for which a pen-and-paper proof exists; (2) G\"odel-L\"ob logic GL, for which our formalisation clarifies an important point in an existing, but incomplete, sequent-style proof; and (3) intuitionistic strong L\"ob logic iSL, for which this is the first proof-theoretic construction of uniform interpolants. Our work also yields verified programs that allow one to compute the propositional quantifiers on any formula in this logic.

This paper studies the complexity of classical modal logics and of their extension with fixed-point operators, using translations to transfer results across logics. In particular, we show several complexity results for multi-agent logics via translations to and from the $\mu$-calculus and modal logic, which allow us to transfer known upper and lower bounds. We also use these translations to introduce a terminating tableau system for the logics we study, based on Kozen's tableau for the $\mu$-calculus, and the one of Fitting and Massacci for modal logic. Finally, we show how to encode the tableaux we introduced into $\mu$-calculus formulas. This encoding provides upper bounds for the satisfiability checking of the few logics we previously did not have algorithms for.

We consider the classical problems of interpolating a polynomial given a black box for evaluation, and of multiplying two polynomials, in the setting where the bit-lengths of the coefficients may vary widely, so-called unbalanced polynomials. Writing s for the total bit-length and D for the degree, our new algorithms have expected running time $\tilde{O}(s \log D)$, whereas previous methods for (resp.) dense or sparse arithmetic have at least $\tilde{O}(sD)$ or $\tilde{O}(s^2)$ bit complexity.

By interpreting planar polynomial curves as complex-valued functions of a real parameter, an inner product, norm, metric function, and the notion of orthogonality may be defined for such curves. This approach is applied to the complex pre-image polynomials that generate planar Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) curves, to facilitate the implementation of bounded modifications of them that preserve their PH nature. The problems of bounded modifications under the constraint of fixed curve end points and end tangent directions, and of increasing the arc length of a PH curve by a prescribed amount, are also addressed.

The broad class of multivariate unified skew-normal (SUN) distributions has been recently shown to possess fundamental conjugacy properties. When used as priors for the vector of parameters in general probit, tobit, and multinomial probit models, these distributions yield posteriors that still belong to the SUN family. Although such a core result has led to important advancements in Bayesian inference and computation, its applicability beyond likelihoods associated with fully-observed, discretized, or censored realizations from multivariate Gaussian models remains yet unexplored. This article covers such an important gap by proving that the wider family of multivariate unified skew-elliptical (SUE) distributions, which extends SUNs to more general perturbations of elliptical densities, guarantees conjugacy for broader classes of models, beyond those relying on fully-observed, discretized or censored Gaussians. Such a result leverages the closure under linear combinations, conditioning and marginalization of SUE to prove that such a family is conjugate to the likelihood induced by general multivariate regression models for fully-observed, censored or dichotomized realizations from skew-elliptical distributions. This advancement substantially enlarges the set of models that enable conjugate Bayesian inference to general formulations arising from elliptical and skew-elliptical families, including the multivariate Student's t and skew-t, among others.

We analyze a Discontinuous Galerkin method for a problem with linear advection-reaction and $p$-type diffusion, with Sobolev indices $p\in (1, \infty)$. The discretization of the diffusion term is based on the full gradient including jump liftings and interior-penalty stabilization while, for the advective contribution, we consider a strengthened version of the classical upwind scheme. The developed error estimates track the dependence of the local contributions to the error on local P\'eclet numbers. A set of numerical tests supports the theoretical derivations.

We consider the problem of sketching a set valuation function, which is defined as the expectation of a valuation function of independent random item values. We show that for monotone subadditive or submodular valuation functions satisfying a weak homogeneity condition, or certain other conditions, there exist discretized distributions of item values with $O(k\log(k))$ support sizes that yield a sketch valuation function which is a constant-factor approximation, for any value query for a set of items of cardinality less than or equal to $k$. The discretized distributions can be efficiently computed by an algorithm for each item's value distribution separately. Our results hold under conditions that accommodate a wide range of valuation functions arising in applications, such as the value of a team corresponding to the best performance of a team member, constant elasticity of substitution production functions exhibiting diminishing returns used in economics and consumer theory, and others. Sketch valuation functions are particularly valuable for finding approximate solutions to optimization problems such as best set selection and welfare maximization. They enable computationally efficient evaluation of approximate value oracle queries and provide an approximation guarantee for the underlying optimization problem.
