Let ${mathcal D}(n)$ be the maximal determinant for $n times n$ ${pm 1}$-matrices, and $mathcal R(n) = {mathcal D}(n)/n^{n/2}$ be the ratio of ${mathcal D}(n)$ to the Hadamard upper bound. Using the probabilistic method, we prove new lower bounds on ${mathcal D}(n)$ and $mathcal R(n)$ in terms of $d = n-h$, where $h$ is the order of a Hadamard matrix and $h$ is maximal subject to $h le n$. For example, $mathcal R(n) > (pi e/2)^{-d/2}$ if $1 le d le 3$, and $mathcal R(n) > (pi e/2)^{-d/2}(1 - d^2(pi/(2h))^{1/2})$ if $d > 3$. By a recent result of Livinskyi, $d^2/h^{1/2} to 0$ as $n to infty$, so the second bound is close to $(pi e/2)^{-d/2}$ for large $n$. Previous lower bounds tended to zero as $n to infty$ with $d$ fixed, except in the cases $d in {0,1}$. For $d ge 2$, our bounds are better for all sufficiently large $n$. If the Hadamard conjecture is true, then $d le 3$, so the first bound above shows that $mathcal R(n)$ is bounded below by a positive constant $(pi e/2)^{-3/2} > 0.1133$.

Let $D(n)$ be the maximal determinant for $n times n$ ${pm 1}$-matrices, and ${mathcal R}(n) = D(n)/n^{n/2}$ be the ratio of $D(n)$ to the Hadamard upper bound. We give several new lower bounds on ${mathcal R}(n)$ in terms of $d$, where $n = h+d$, $h $ is the order of a Hadamard matrix, and $h$ is maximal subject to $h le n$. A relatively simple bound is [{mathcal R}(n) ge left(frac{2}{pi e}right)^{d/2} left(1 - d^2left(frac{pi}{2h}right)^{1/2}right) ;text{ for all }; n ge 1.] An asymptotically sharper bound is [{mathcal R}(n) ge left(frac{2}{pi e}right)^{d/2} expleft(dleft(frac{pi}{2h}right)^{1/2} + ; Oleft(frac{d^{5/3}}{h^{2/3}}right)right).] We also show that [{mathcal R}(n) ge left(frac{2}{pi e}right)^{d/2}] if $n ge n_0$ and $n_0$ is sufficiently large, the threshold $n_0$ being independent of $d$, or for all $nge 1$ if $0 le d le 3$ (which would follow from the Hadamard conjecture). The proofs depend on the probabilistic method, and generalise previous results that were restricted to the cases $d=0$ and $d=1$.
We give upper and lower bounds on the determinant of a perturbation of the identity matrix or, more generally, a perturbation of a nonsingular diagonal matrix. The matrices considered are, in general, diagonally dominant. The lower bounds are best po ssible, and in several cases they are stronger than well-known bounds due to Ostrowski and other authors. If $A = I-E$ is an $n times n$ matrix and the elements of $E$ are bounded in absolute value by $varepsilon le 1/n$, then a lower bound of Ostrowski (1938) is $det(A) ge 1-nvarepsilon$. We show that if, in addition, the diagonal elements of $E$ are zero, then a best-possible lower bound is [det(A) ge (1-(n-1)varepsilon),(1+varepsilon)^{n-1}.] Corresponding upper bounds are respectively [det(A) le (1 + 2varepsilon + nvarepsilon^2)^{n/2}] and [det(A) le (1 + (n-1)varepsilon^2)^{n/2}.] The first upper bound is stronger than Ostrowskis bound (for $varepsilon < 1/n$) $det(A) le (1 - nvarepsilon)^{-1}$. The second upper bound generalises Hadamards inequality, which is the case $varepsilon = 1$. A necessary and sufficient condition for our upper bounds to be best possible for matrices of order $n$ and all positive $varepsilon$ is the existence of a skew-Hadamard matrix of order $n$.
There are distributed graph algorithms for finding maximal matchings and maximal independent sets in $O(Delta + log^* n)$ communication rounds; here $n$ is the number of nodes and $Delta$ is the maximum degree. The lower bound by Linial (1987, 1992) shows that the dependency on $n$ is optimal: these problems cannot be solved in $o(log^* n)$ rounds even if $Delta = 2$. However, the dependency on $Delta$ is a long-standing open question, and there is currently an exponential gap between the upper and lower bounds. We prove that the upper bounds are tight. We show that maximal matchings and maximal independent sets cannot be found in $o(Delta + log log n / log log log n)$ rounds with any randomized algorithm in the LOCAL model of distributed computing. As a corollary, it follows that there is no deterministic algorithm for maximal matchings or maximal independent sets that runs in $o(Delta + log n / log log n)$ rounds; this is an improvement over prior lower bounds also as a function of $n$.
Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity and F-signature are numerical invariants of commutative rings in positive characteristic that measure severity of singularities: for a regular ring both invariants are equal to one and the converse holds under mild assumptio ns. A natural question is for what singular rings these invariants are closest to one. For Hilbert--Kunz multiplicity this question was first considered by the last two authors and attracted significant attention. In this paper, we study this question, i.e., an upper bound, for F-signature and revisit lower bounds on Hilbert--Kunz multiplicity.
