This note displays an interesting phenomenon for percentiles of independent but non-identical random variables. Let $X_1,\cdots,X_n$ be independent random variables obeying non-identical continuous distributions and $X^{(1)}\geq \cdots\geq…

One of the questions of distribution of prime numbers is considered in the article. It is shown what error is obtained from the assumption that the asymptotic density of a sequence of primes is a probability. Various forms of an analogue of…

Asymptotic formulae are established for the number of natural numbers $m$ with largest square-free divisor not exceeding $m^{\vartheta}$, for any fixed positive parameter $\vartheta$. Related counting functions are also considered.

We consider $\Phi(x)=x^{-\frac{1}{4}}\left[1-2\sqrt{x}\Sigma e^{-p^2\pi x}\ln p\right]$ on $x>0$, where the sum is over all primes $p$. If $\Phi$ is bounded on $x>0$, then the Riemann hypothesis is true or there are infinitely many zeros…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the maximum interpoint distance of random points in a planar bounded set with an unique major axis and a boundary behaving like an ellipse at the endpoints. Our main result covers the case of uniformly…

This work gives a general approach to the determination of the asymptotic behavior of the sums of functions of primes based on the distribution of primes. It refines the estimate of the remainder term of the asymptotic expansion of the sums…

We consider the stochastic sequential assignment problem of Derman, Lieberman and Ross (1972) corresponding to a discrete distribution supported on a finite set of points. We use large deviation estimates to compute the asymptotics of the…

Strongly consistent estimates are shown, via relative frequency, for the probability of "white balls" inside a dichotomous urn when such a probability is an arbitrary continuous time dependent function over a bounded time interval. The…

The longest stretch $L(n)$ of consecutive heads in $n$ i.i.d. coin tosses is seen from the prism of large deviations. We first establish precise asymptotics for the moment generating function of $L(n)$ and then show that there are precisely…

In this paper we investigate the asymptotic distribution of likelihood ratio tests in models with several groups, when the number of groups converges with the dimension and sample size to infinity. We derive central limit theorems for the…

A new derivation of the classic asymptotic expansion of the n-th prime is presented. A fast algorithm for the computation of its terms is also given, which will be an improvement of that by Salvy (1994). Realistic bounds for the error with…
