We establish the central limit theorem for the number of groups at the equilibrium of a coagulation-fragmentation process given by a parameter function with polynomial rate of growth. The result obtained is compared with the one for random…

We consider consecutive random subdivision of polygons described as follows. Given an initial convex polygon with $d\ge 3$ edges, we choose a point at random on each edge, such that the proportions in which these points divide edges are…

We define the quantile set of order $\alpha \in \left[ 1/2,1\right) $ associated to a law $P$ on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ to be the collection of its directional quantiles seen from an observer $O\in \mathbb{R}^{d}$. Under minimal assumptions these…

For a convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ the mean distance $\Delta(K)=\mathbb{E}|X_1-X_2|$ is the expected Euclidean distance of two independent and uniformly distributed random points $X_1,X_2\in K$. Optimal lower and upper bounds for…

We study constrained selection sets of random closed sets defined on a non-atomic probability space. Given a random interval $Y=[y_L,y_U]$ and scalar constraints on the expectation or the median of admissible selections, we characterize the…

Peng (2006) initiated a new kind of central limit theorem under sub-linear expectations. Song (2017) gave an estimate of the rate of convergence of Peng's central limit theorem. Based on these results, we establish a new kind of almost sure…

We study the local profiles of trees. We show that, in contrast with the situation for general graphs, the limit set of k-profiles of trees is convex. We initiate a study of the defining inequalities of this convex set. Many challenging…

Using an averaged generating function for coloured hard-dimers, some random variables of interest are studied. The main result lies in the fact that all their probability distributions obey a central limit theorem.

Consider the triangle $T$ with vertices $(0,0)$, $(0,1)$, and $(1,0)$. The lower boundary of the convex hull of $(0,1)$, $(1,0)$, together with $n$ independent uniformly distributed random points in $T$, is called a random convex chain and…

The Ewens-Pitman model defines a distribution on random partitions of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, with parameters $\alpha \in [0,1)$ and $\theta > -\alpha$; the case $\alpha=0$ reduces to the classical Ewens model from population genetics. We…
