Abstract:
An interpretation of log-concavity and log-convexity as aging notions is given in this paper. It imitates a stochastic ordering characterization of the NBU (new better than used) and the NWU (new worse than used) notions but stochastic ordering is now replaced by the likelihood ratio ordering. The new characterization of log-concavity and log-convexity sheds new light on these properties and enables one to obtain intuitively simple proofs of the log-convexity and log-concavity of some first passage times of interest in branching processes and in reliability theory.

Full text
Abstract:
In this dissertation we address a long-standing conjecture, due to Heron, Rota and Welsh on the log-concavity of the characteristic polynomial of a matroid. After decades of attempts and a series of partial results, the conjecture was fully solved in 2018 by Adiprasito, Huh and Katz, using combinatorial analogues of several results in Algebraic Geometry concerning a particular cohomology ring called Chow ring. In February 2020, a new, simpler proof was announced by Braden, Huh, Matherne, Proudfoot and Wang. This dissertation is conceived to be a self-contained guide to support the reader in understanding these two papers, providing also the necessary background, a wide horizon ranging from Hodge Theory to Combinatorics to Toric Geometry. Moreover, we provide concrete and nontrivial examples of computations of Chow rings, of which we feel current literature is still lacking.

Abstract:
Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le cadre des probabilités en grande dimension, en particulier sous hypothèse de convexité. Dans une première partie, on étudie le comportement des l'entropie et de l'information de Fisher vis à vis des convolutions de vecteurs log-concave. Ensuite, à l'aide de la localisation stochastique, une technique récente qui a notamment servi à la quasi résolution de la conjecture KLS, nous établissons des résultats nouveaux sur la fonction de concentration des mesures log-concave, et leur constante de log-sobolev. La dernière partie est consacrée à l'étude de grands systèmes linéaires aléatoires pour lesquels un phénomène de type cut-off est démontré
This thesis deals with high-dimensionnal phenomena arising under convexity assumptions. In a first part, we study the behavior of the entropy and information with respect to convolutions of log-concave vectors. Then, using stochastic localization, a very recent technique which led to an almost resolution of the KLS conjecture, we establish new results regarding the concentration fucntion of log-concave probabilities, and their log-Sobolev constant. Finally, the last chapter is devoted to the study of large random linear systems, for which a cut-off phenomenon is established

There are two main parts in this dissertation. In the first part, we study “Unimodality and log-concavity of independence polynomials of very well-covered graphs”. We show that the independence polynomial I(G*;x) of G* is unimodal for any graph G* whose skeleton G has the stability number α(G)<=8. In addition, we show that the independence polynomial of K*2,n is log-concave with a unique mode. In the second part, we investigate “Topological properties of some interconnection networks”. Using the structures of dual-cubes introduced by Li and Peng, we introduce a new interconnection work, called dual-cube extensive networks (DCEN). Furthermore, we study some topological properties of DCEN. More precisely, we show that DCEN(G) preserves some nice properties of G such as the hamiltonian connectivity, globally 3*-connectivity, and edge-pancyclicity, and also discuss the fault-tolerant hamiltonian property of DCEN(G). In addition, we investigate the 4-fault-tolerant hamiltonicity of circular graphs G(n,4) and the existence of mutually independent hamiltonian cycles of alternating group graphs AGn.

A well-covered graph is a graph in which all maximal stable/independent sets have the same cardinality. Let sk denote the number of stable sets of cardinality k in graph G, and α(G) be the size of a maximum stable set. A well-covered graph G with no isolated vertices is called very well-covered if |G| = 2α(G). The independence polynomial of G is defined by I(G; x) = Σα(G) k=0 skxk, and I(G; x) is log-concave if s2k ≥ sk+1sk¡1 holds for 1 ≤ k ≤ α(G)−1. Given an arbitrary graph G, G¤ is the graph obtained from G by appending a single pendant edge to each vertex of G. It is easy to see that G¤ is very well-covered. In 2004, Levit and Mandrescu [17] proved that the independence polynomial of K¤1,n is log-concave. In 2010, the same result for K¤2,n is proved by Chen and Wang [8]. In this thesis, we find the independence polynomials I(K¤t,n; x) of K¤t,n for all positive integers t ≤ n and show that I(K¤t,n; x) is log-concave for any t with 3 ≤ t ≤ 5.
