An infinite sequence $\alpha$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$ is $\mu$-distributed w.r.t. a probability map $\mu$ if, for every finite string $w$, the limiting frequency of $w$ in $\alpha$ exists and equals $\mu(w)$. %We raise the question of how…

Assume that $\mathfrak A$ is a real Banach space of finite dimension $n\geq2$. Consider any Borel probability measure $\nu$ supported on the unit ball $K$ of $\mathfrak A$. We show that \[\Delta(\nu)=\int_{x \in K}\int_{ y\in…

For every integer $k\geq 2$ let $[k]^{<\mathbb{N}}$ be the set of all words over $k$, that is, all finite sequences having values in $[k]:=\{1,...,k\}$. A Carlson-Simpson tree of $[k]^{<\mathbb{N}}$ of dimension $m\geq 1$ is a subset of…

We have developed a heuristic showing that in the Dirichlet divisor problem for the almost all $n \in \mathbb{N}^{+}$: $$ R(n) \leq O(\psi(n)n^{\frac{1}{4}}) $$ where $$ R(n) = \Big\lvert \sum_{x=1}^{n}\Big\lfloor\frac{n}{x}\Big\rfloor -…

In 1924 S.Bernstein asked for conditions on a uniformly bounded on $\mathbb{R}$ Borel function (weight) $w: \mathbb{R} \to [0, +\infty )$ which imply the denseness of algebraic polynomials ${\mathcal{P} }$ in the seminormed space $…

A sequence $\textbf{p}=(p_{n})$ of real numbers is called Abel convergent to $\ell$ if the series $\Sigma_{k=0}^{\infty}p_{k}x^{k}$ is convergent for $0\leq x<1$ and \[\lim_{x \to 1^{-}}(1-x) \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}p_{k}x^{k}=\ell.\] We…

Let $M_n^{(k)}$ denote the $k$th largest maximum of a sample $(X_1,X_2,...,X_n)$ from parent $X$ with continuous distribution. Assume there exist normalizing constants $a_n>0$, $b_n\in \mathbb{R}$ and a nondegenerate distribution $G$ such…

For a probability distribution $P$ on an at most countable alphabet $\mathcal A$, this article gives finite sample bounds for the expected occupancy counts $\mathbb E K_{n,r}$ and probabilities $\mathbb E M_{n,r}$. Both upper and lower…

For an array $\left\{X_{n,j}, \, 1 \leqslant j \leqslant k_{n}, n \geqslant 1 \right\}$ of random variables and a sequence $\{c_{n} \}$ of positive numbers, sufficient conditions are given under which, for all $\varepsilon > 0$,…

Let $m$ be a positive integer larger than $1$, let $w$ be a finite word over $\left\{0,1,...,m-1\right\}$ and let $a_{m;w}(n)$ be the number of occurrences of the word $w$ in the $m$-expansion of $n$ mod $p$ for any non-negative integer…

Let $\lambda$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb T^{n-1}$ where $n=2$ or 3. Suppose $\lambda$ is invariant, ergodic and has positive entropy with respect to the linear transformation defined by a hyperbolic matrix. We get a measure $\mu $…

Given $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and a $p$-random subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, we asymptotically determine $\log \Pr(|\mathbb{N} \setminus (A + A)| \ge m)$ for $p$ above the threshold for this property. The proof is based on a bespoke container…

Let $X(t,\omega),$ $t \in \textit{R}$ be a symmetric stable process with index $\alpha \in (1,2]$ and $a_n$ be the Fourier-Jacobi coefficients of $f \in L^p,$ where $p \geq \alpha.$ For $\gamma, \delta> 0,$ $t \in [-1,1],$ define…

Let ${\pmb b}=\{b_0,\,b_1,\,\ldots\}$ be the known sequence of numbers such that $b_0\neq0$. In this work, we develop methods to find another sequence ${\pmb a}=\{a_0,\,a_1,\,\ldots\}$ that is related to ${\pmb b}$ as follows:…

Let I_1,...,I_n be independent but not necessarily identically distributed Bernoulli random variables, and let X_n=\sum_{j=1}^nI_j. For \nu in a bounded region, a local central limit theorem expansion of P(X_n=EX_n+\nu) is developed to any…

Let $\{c_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of complex numbers. In this paper we answer when the range of $\sum_{n=1}^\infty\pm c_n$ is dense or equal to the complex plane. Some examples are given to explain our results. As its application, we…

We present conditions that allow us to pass from the convergence of probability measures in distribution to the uniform convergence of the associated quantile functions. Under these conditions, one can in particular pass from the asymptotic…

While useful probability bounds for $n$ pairwise independent Bernoulli random variables adding up to at least an integer $k$ have been proposed in the literature, none of these bounds are tight in general. In this paper, we provide several…
