In this work, we study convergence in probability and almost sure convergence for weighted partial sums of random variables that are related to the class of generalized Oppenheim expansions. It is worth noting that the random variables…

We confirm a conjecture posed by Bergelson, Moreira, and Richter (arXiv:1711.05729), and in particular show that for every probability measure preserving system $(X,\mathscr{B},\mu,T)$, every $k\in \mathbb{N}$, every set $A\in \mathscr{B}$…

We introduce a new generalization of relative entropy to non-negative vectors with sums $\gt 1$. We show in a purely combinatorial setting, with no probabilistic considerations, that in the presence of linear constraints defining a convex…

The Kahane--Salem--Zygmund inequality for multilinear forms in $\ell_{\infty}$ spaces claims that, for all positive integers $m,n_{1},...,n_{m}$, there exists an $m$-linear form $A\colon\ell_{\infty}^{n_{1}}\times\cdots\times…

The classical problem of maximizing the Shannon entropy of a sum of independent random variables supported on a finite alphabet is considered and settled in the ternary case. Namely, the following theorem is established: if…

Nourdin et al. [9] established the following universality result: if a sequence of off-diagonal homogeneous polynomial forms in i.i.d. standard normal random variables converges in distribution to a normal, then the convergence also holds…

It is well-known that a random variable, i.e., a function defined on a probability space, with values in a Borel space, can be represented on the special probability space consisting of the unit interval with Lebesgue measure. We show an…

In this paper we consider the minimizing sequence for some energy functional of an elliptic equation associated with the mean field limit of the point vortex distribution one-sided Borel probability measure. If such a sequence blows up, we…

We consider certain Fibonacci-like sequences $(X_n)_{n\geq 0}$ perturbed with a random noise. Our main result is that $\frac{1}{X_n}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}X_k$ converges in distribution, as $n$ goes to infinity, to a random variable $W$ with…

If a sequence $(a_n)$ of non-negative real numbers has ``best possible'' distribution in arithmetic progressions, Bombieri showed that one can deduce an asymptotic formula for the sum $\sum_{n\le x} a_n \Lambda_k(n)$ for $k\ge 2$. By…

This work proposes a view of probability as a relative measure rather than an absolute one. To demonstrate this concept, we focus on finite outcome spaces and develop three fundamental axioms that establish requirements for relative…

In this paper we prove the complete characterization of a.s. convergence of orthogonal series in terms of existence of a majorizing measure. It means that for a given $(a_n)^{\infty}_{n=1}$, $a_n>0$, series $\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}a_n\varphi_n$…
