arXiv:2609. 06050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For a compact set $K\subset\mathbb{C}$, let $\vartheta(K)$ be the infimum of the planar areas of the unit lemniscates of all monic polynomials with zeros in $K$, allowing arbitrary degree and repeated zeros.

The VC dimension of partial concept classes via Radon's theorem

arXiv:2607. 10751v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Following Alon, Hanneke, Holzman, and Moran (FOCS 2021), we define a partial concept class (PCC) as a family of partial functions \(f: V\to\{0,1,\ast\}\); equivalently, its concepts partition the ground set into black ($f^{-1}(1)$), grey ($f^{-1}(\ast)$), and white parts ($f^{-1}(0)$).

Structured Approximations of Measures

arXiv:2310. 09149v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the approximation of probability measures in the Wasserstein-$p$ distance by structured classes of approximators, motivated by applications in imaging, machine learning, and physical measurement under sensor constraints.

A simplex-based measure of symmetry

arXiv:2607. 03815v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For compact convex sets $L,K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, denote by $\lambda_K(L)$ the smallest size of a homothet of $K$ that contains $L$.

Dense Weak Hiding: Closing Complexity Gaps in Nonconvex and PL Finite-Sum Optimization under Individual Smoothness

The paper establishes the optimal incremental first‑order oracle (IFO) complexity for nonconvex finite‑sum optimization under individual smoothness, proving a matching lower bound that closes a previously missing √{n} factor. It also refines the analysis of the PAGE algorithm under the global Polyak‑Lojasiewicz condition, providing tighter guarantees for different ranges of the condition number. The authors introduce a novel dense weak hiding construction that yields these lower bounds and demonstrates the limits of existing methods.
