Suppose $X$ is an $\rm{RCD}(K,N)$ space with $K \in \mathbb{R}$ and $N \in (1,\infty)$. We obtain a characterisation of the Newtonian-Sobolev space $N^{1,2}(X)$ in terms of a quantity which measures to what extent a function is locally…

The Sard theorem from 1942 requires that a mapping $f:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^m$ is of class $C^k$, $k > \max (n-m,0)$. In 1957 Duvovitski\u{\i} generalized Sard's theorem to the case of $C^k$ mappings for all $k$. Namely he proved…

Phenomena with a constrained sample space appear frequently in practice. This is the case e.g. with strictly positive data and with compositional data, like percentages and the like. If the natural measure of difference is not the absolute…

We introduce the Markov extension, represented schematically as a tower, to the study of dynamical systems with holes. For tower maps with small holes, we prove the existence of conditionally invariant probability measures which are…

We propose a method for deterministic sampling of arbitrary continuous angular density functions. With deterministic sampling, good estimation results can typically be achieved with much smaller numbers of samples compared to the commonly…

Suppose A is a finite set equipped with a probability measure P and let M be a ``mass'' function on A. We give a probabilistic characterization of the most efficient way in which A^n can be almost-covered using spheres of a fixed radius. An…

Suppose that a mobile sensor describes a Markovian trajectory in the ambient space. At each time the sensor measures an attribute of interest, e.g., the temperature. Using only the location history of the sensor and the associated…

In recent years various results about locally symmetric manifolds were proven using probabilistic approaches. One of the approaches is to consider random manifolds by associating a probability measure to the space of discrete subgroups of…

We prove a Gleason-type theorem for the quantum probability rule using frame functions defined on positive-operator-valued measures (POVMs), as opposed to the restricted class of orthogonal projection-valued measures used in the original…

Recall that the Rado graph is the unique countable graph that realizes all one-point extensions of its finite subgraphs. The Rado graph is well-known to be universal and homogeneous in the sense that every isomorphism between finite…

In the theory of inner and outer balayage of positive Radon measures on a locally compact space $X$ to arbitrary $A\subset X$ with respect to suitable, quite general function kernels, developed in a series of the author's recent papers, we…

We develop a metric and probabilistic theory for the Ostrogradsky representation of real numbers, i.e., the expansion of a real number $x$ in the following form: \begin{align*} x&= \sum_n\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{q_1q_2... q_n}=…

In this paper, an approach for generalizing the Gromov-Hausdorff metric is presented, which applies to metric spaces equipped with some additional structure. A special case is the Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov metric between measured metric…

We introduce and carefully study a natural probability measure over the numerical range of a complex matrix $A \in M_n(\C)$. This numerical measure $\mu_A$ can be defined as the law of the random variable $<AX,X> \in \C$ when the vector $X…

In the paper, we introduce the notion of a local regular supermartingale relative to a convex set of equivalent measures and prove for it an optional Doob decomposition in the discrete case. This Theorem is a generalization of the famous…

A time-dependent finite-state Markov chain that uses doubly stochastic transition matrices, is considered. Entropic quantities that describe the randomness of the probability vectors, and also the randomness of the discrete paths, are…

This paper focuses on the metric properties of L\"uroth well approximable numbers, studying analogous of classical results, namely the Khintchine Theorem, the Jarn\'ik--Besicovitch Theorem, and the result of Dodson. A supplementary proof is…

We consider the problem of projecting a probability measure $\pi$ on a set $\mathcal{M}\_N$ of Radon measures. The projection is defined as a solution of the following variational problem:\begin{equation*}\inf\_{\mu\in \mathcal{M}\_N}…

A complete recipe of measure-preserving diffusions in Euclidean space was recently derived unifying several MCMC algorithms into a single framework. In this paper, we develop a geometric theory that improves and generalises this…

The Urysohn space is a separable complete metric space with two fundamental properties: (a) universality: every separable metric space can be isometrically embedded in it; (b) ultrahomogeneity: every finite isometry between two finite…
