For a numerical sequence ${a_n}$ satisfying broad assumptions on its "behaviour on average" and a random walk $S_n=\xi_1 +...+\xi_n$ with i.i.d. jumps $\xi_j$ with positive mean $\mu$, we establish the asymptotic behaviour of the sums…
Consider a number, finite or not, of urns each with fixed capacity $r$ and balls randomly distributed among them. An overflow is the number of balls that are assigned to urns that already contain $r$ balls. When $r=1$, using analytic…
Behavioral theories rest on parsimony: a small number of mechanisms organizing many decisions. We define a Maximum Rule Concentration Index that measures how parsimoniously a dataset of risky choices can be organized through a library of…
The asymptotic behaviour of a closed BCMP network, with $n$ queues and $m_n$ clients, is analyzed when $n$ and $m_n$ become simultaneously large. Our method relies on Berry-Esseen type approximations coming in the Central Limit Theorem. We…
Suppose that there are n bins, and balls arrive in a Poisson process at rate \lambda n, where \lambda >0 is a constant. Upon arrival, each ball chooses a fixed number d of random bins, and is placed into one with least load. Balls have…
The purpose of this article is to present a general method to find limiting laws for some renormalized statistics on random permutations. The model considered here is Ewens sampling model, which generalizes uniform random permutations. We…
A sequential importance sampling algorithm is developed for the distribution that results when a matrix of independent, but not identically distributed, Bernoulli random variables is conditioned on a given sequence of row and column sums.…
Along the line of thoughts of Berry and Robnik\cite{[1]}, we investigated the gap distribution function of systems with infinitely many independent components, and discussed the level-spacing distribution of classically integrable quantum…
By extending the approach of Berry and Robnik, the limiting level spacing distribution of a system consisting of infinitely many independent components is investigated. The limiting level spacing distribution is characterized by a single…
We build on the foundational work of Deffner and Zurek [S. Deffner and W. H. Zurek, New J. Phys. 18, 063013 (2016)] to show how central equilibrium structures of statistical mechanics can be understood within standard quantum mechanics…
Let $K_n$ be the convex hull of i.i.d. random variables distributed according to the standard normal distribution on $\R^d$. We establish variance asymptotics as $n \to \infty$ for the re-scaled intrinsic volumes and $k$-face functionals of…
Consider $D$ random systems that are modeled by independent $N\times N$ complex Hermitian Wigner matrices. Suppose they are lying on a circle and the neighboring systems interact with each other through a deterministic matrix $A$. We prove…
We consider lattice walks in $\R^k$ confined to the region $0<x_1<x_2...<x_k$ with fixed (but arbitrary) starting and end points. The walks are required to be "reflectable", that is, we assume that the number of paths can be counted using…
In this paper, we consider the nonasymptotic sequential estimation of means of random variables bounded in between zero and one. We have rigorously demonstrated that, in order to guarantee prescribed relative precision and confidence level,…
This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the Multi-set Allocation Occupancy (MAO) distribution, which models the count vector $X=(X_{=0},\ldots,X_{=T})$ from $T$ independent rounds of sampling without replacement of size $m$ from…
In this paper, we extend a result of Kesten and Spitzer (1979). Let us consider a stationary sequence $(\xi\_k:=f(T^k(.)))\_k$ given by an invertible probability dynamical system and some centered function $f$. Let $(S\_n)\_n$ be a simple…
In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the normalized weighted empirical occupation measures of a diffusion process on a compact manifold which is killed at a smooth rate and then regenerated at a random location, distributed…
Consider a balls-in-bins process in which each new ball goes into a given bin with probability proportional to f(n), where n is the number of balls currently in the bin and f is a fixed positive function. It is known that these so-called…
Given natural parameters s and r, where $2\leq s\leq r$, we consider the distribution of a random variable $\xi=\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}s^{-k}\xi_k\equiv\Delta^{r_s}_{\xi_1\xi_2...\xi_k...},$ where $(\xi_k)$ is a sequence of independent…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the maximal multiplicity $M_n=M_n(\sigma)$ of the blocks in a set partition of $[n]=\{1,2,...,n\}$, assuming that $\sigma$ is chosen uniformly at random from the set of all such partitions. Let $W=W(n)$…
