A Unified Approach to Distance-Two Colouring of Graphs on Surfaces

Omid Amini, Louis Esperet, Jan van den Heuvel

In this paper we introduce the notion of -colouring of a graph : For given subsets of neighbours of , for every , this is a proper colouring of the verti…

Multiple local whittle estimation in stationary systems

P. M. Robinson

Moving from univariate to bivariate jointly dependent long-memory time series introduces a phase parameter , at the frequency of principal interest, zero; for short-memory ser…

Formality of the constructible derived category for spheres: A combinatorial and a geometric approach

Anne Balthasar

We describe the constructible derived category of sheaves on the -sphere, stratified in a point and its complement, as a dg module category of a formal dg algebra. We prove form…

When are quantum systems operationally independent?

Miklos Redei, Stephen J. Summers

We propose some formulations of the notion of "operational independence" of two subsystems of a larger quantum system and clarify their relation to other independence concepts in t…

Concentration of measure and mixing for Markov chains

Malwina J. Luczak

We consider Markovian models on graphs with local dynamics. We show that, under suitable conditions, such Markov chains exhibit both rapid convergence to equilibrium and strong con…

Smooth supersaturated models

Ron A. Bates, Hugo Maruri-Aguilar, Henry P. Wynn

In areas such as kernel smoothing and non-parametric regression there is emphasis on smooth interpolation and smooth statistical models. Splines are known to have optimal smoothnes…

Minimal average degree aberration and the state polytope for experimental designs

Yael Berstein, Hugo Maruri-Aguilar, Shmuel Onn +2

For a particular experimental design, there is interest in finding which polynomial models can be identified in the usual regression set up. The algebraic methods based on Groebner…

List Colouring Squares of Planar Graphs

Frédéric Havet, Jan van den Heuvel, Colin McDiarmid +1

In 1977, Wegner conjectured that the chromatic number of the square of every planar graph with maximum degree is at most . We show t…

Susceptibility in subcritical random graphs

Svante Janson, Malwina J. Luczak

We study the evolution of the susceptibility in the subcritical random graph as tends to infinity. We obtain precise asymptotics of its expectation and variance, and s…

Estimation of a semiparametric transformation model

Oliver Linton, Stefan Sperlich, Ingrid Van Keilegom

This paper proposes consistent estimators for transformation parameters in semiparametric models. The problem is to find the optimal transformation into the space of models with a…

Estimation of the covariance matrix of random effects in longitudinal studies

Yan Sun, Wenyang Zhang, Howell Tong

Longitudinal studies are often conducted to explore the cohort and age effects in many scientific areas. The within cluster correlation structure plays a very important role in lon…

Digital Ecosystems: Self-Organisation of Evolving Agent Populations

Gerard Briscoe, Philippe De Wilde

A primary motivation for our research in Digital Ecosystems is the desire to exploit the self-organising properties of biological ecosystems. Ecosystems are thought to be robust, s…

Asymptotic behaviour of a family of gradient algorithms in R^d and Hilbert spaces

Luc Pronzato, Henry P. Wynn, Anatoly A. Zhigljavsky

The asymptotic behaviour of a family of gradient algorithms (including the methods of steepest descent and minimum residues) for the optimisation of bounded quadratic operators in…

Parameterizations and fitting of bi-directed graph models to categorical data

Monia Lupparelli, Giovanni M. Marchetti, Wicher P. Bergsma

We discuss two parameterizations of models for marginal independencies for discrete distributions which are representable by bi-directed graph models, under the global Markov prope…

Random subgraphs of the 2D Hamming graph: the supercritical phase

Remco van der Hofstad, Malwina J. Luczak

We study random subgraphs of the 2-dimensional Hamming graph H(2,n), which is the Cartesian product of two complete graphs on vertices. Let be the edge probability, and wri…
