Sums of two dependent uniform random variables: a characterization by joint tail bounds
Prashant Chaudhary, Kapil Khandelwal
Which laws can the sum of two uniform random variables have when nothing is known about how they depend on each other? For three or more uniform summands, convex order gives the an…
Sumsets regularity versus Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity for monomial curves
Prashant Chaudhary, Kapil Khandelwal
Let be integers with greatest common divisor , let be the projective monomial curve they define, and let be the Casteln…
Inverse knapsack at two capacities: which pairs of value-cardinality hulls are realizable?
Prashant Chaudhary, Kapil Khandelwal
One item set evaluated at two capacities produces two concave hulls of optimal value against cardinality. We ask which prescribed pairs arise. Exchange arguments give a neces…
Trigger Timing, Deadline Readiness, and Event-Aligned Accounting for Dynamic Ad Insertion
Prashant Chaudhary, Kapil Khandelwal
Dynamic ad insertion comparisons can conflate trigger, reach, readiness, playback, billability and measurement even when the accounting is arithmetically correct. We separate these…
