Based on the work of Chen and Its [{\em J. Approx. Theory} {\bf 162} ({2010}) {270--297}], we further study orthogonal polynomials with respect to the singularly perturbed Laguerre weight $w(x;t,\alpha) = {x^\alpha}{\mathrm e^{-…

In this paper, the defining properties of a valid measure of the dependence between two random variables are reviewed and complemented with two original ones, shown to be more fundamental than other usual postulates. While other popular…

We consider the nonparametric regression problem with multiple predictors and an additive error, where the regression function is assumed to be coordinatewise nondecreasing. We propose a Bayesian approach to make an inference on the…

A $\mathbf{GL}$-variety is a (typically infinite dimensional) variety modeled on the polynomial representation theory of the general linear group. In previous work, we studied these varieties in characteristic 0. In this paper, we obtain…

We prove that of the creator operators, on the $d$ commuting indeterminates polynomial algebra, are linearly independent. We further study the connection between the classical (one dimensional) and the multi-dimensional ($d$-dimensional, $d…

Let K be a field and let M_n(K) denote the space of n x n matrices with entries in K. Let M be a subspace of M_n(K) of dimension d with the property that there are elements in M with non-zero determinant. Given a basis of M, we define the…

We consider random walk polynomial sequences $(P_n(x))_{n\in\mathbb{N}_0}\subseteq\mathbb{R}[x]$ given by recurrence relations of the form $P_0(x)=1$, $P_1(x)=x$ and $x P_n(x)=a_n P_{n+1}(x)+c_n P_{n-1}(x)\;(n\in\mathbb{N})$, where $a_n$…

We prove that the Cayley-Menger determinant of an $n$-dimensional simplex is an absolutely irreducible polynomial for $n\geq3.$ We also study the irreducibility of polynomials associated to related geometric constructions.

We propose a methodology for modeling and comparing probability distributions within a Bayesian nonparametric framework. Building on dependent normalized random measures, we consider a prior distribution for a collection of discrete random…

We consider the well-posedness of Bayesian inverse problems when the prior measure has exponential tails. In particular, we consider the class of convex (log-concave) probability measures which include the Gaussian and Besov measures as…

Rayleigh-Levy flights have played a significant role in cosmology as simplified models for understanding how matter distributes itself under gravitational influence. These models also exhibit numerous remarkable properties that enable the…

We establish local elliptic and parabolic gradient estimates for positive smooth solutions to a nonlinear parabolic equation on a smooth metric measure space. As applications, we determine various conditions on the equation's coefficients…

We consider a nonlinear polynomial regression model in which we wish to test the null hypothesis of structural stability in the regression parameters against the alternative of a break at an unknown time. We derive the extreme value…

We consider Mahler measures of two well-studied families of bivariate polynomials, namely $P_t=x+x^{-1}+y+y^{-1}+\sqrt{t}$ and $Q_t=x^3+y^3+1-\sqrt[3]{t}xy$, where $t$ is a complex parameter. In the cases when the zero loci of these…

In this paper we provide proofs of two new theorems that provide a broad class of partition inequalities and that illustrate a na\"ive version of Andrews' anti-telescoping technique quite well. These new theorems also put to rest any notion…

Negative probabilities arise primarily in physics, statistical quantum mechanics and quantum computing. Negative probabilities arise as mixing distributions of unobserved latent variables in Bayesian modeling. Our goal is to provide a link…

Testing for independence between two random vectors is a fundamental problem in statistics. It is observed from empirical studies that many existing omnibus consistent tests may not work well for some strongly nonmonotonic and nonlinear…
