An application of Levy's continuity theorem and Hankel transform allow us to establish a law limit theorem for the sequence $V_n=f(U)\sin(n U)$, where $U$ is uniformly distributed in $(0,1)$ and $f$ a given function. Further, we investigate…
Elkies and McMullen [Duke Math.J.~123 (2004) 95--139] have shown that the gaps between the fractional parts of \sqrt n for n=1,\ldots,N, have a limit distribution as N tends to infinity. The limit distribution is non-standard and differs…
Quite recently, in [8] the authoor of this paper considered the distribution of primes in the sequence $(S_n)$ whose $n$th term is defined as $S_n=\sum_{k=1}^{2n}p_k$, where $p_k$ is the $k$th prime. Some heuristic arguments and the…
We consider the set of finite sequences of length n over a finite or countable alphabet C. We consider the function which associate each given sequence with the size of the maximum overlap with a (shifted) copy of itself. We compute the…
We study two types of probability measures on the set of integer partitions of $n$ with at most $m$ parts. The first one chooses the random partition with a chance related to its largest part only. We then obtain the limiting distributions…
By considering that the distribution of measured light along any galactocentric radius of an elliptical galaxy can be well represented by a R^{1/n} Sersic law, we propose in this paper a ``discrete ordenate'' method, which, for any value of…
In our previous work, we introduced the random $k$-cut number for rooted graphs. In this paper, we show that the distribution of the $k$-cut number in complete binary trees of size $n$, after rescaling, is asymptotically a periodic function…
We investigate the spacing distribution of sequence \[S_n=\left\{0,\frac{1}{n},\frac{2}{n},\dots,\frac{n-1}{n},1\right\}\] after Bernoulli sampling. We describe the closed form expression of the probability mass function of the spacings,…
For 0 < x < 1, take the binary expansion with infinitely many 0's, replace each 0 with -1, this gives the polarized binary expansion of x. Let R_i(x) be the ith "polarized bit" and let S_n(x) be the sum of the first n R_i(x). {S_n} is the…
In this paper we study random partitions of 1,...n, where every cluster of size j can be in any of w\_j possible internal states. The Gibbs (n,k,w) distribution is obtained by sampling uniformly among such partitions with k clusters. We…
These expository notes are centered around the circular law theorem, which states that the empirical spectral distribution of a nxn random matrix with i.i.d. entries of variance 1/n tends to the uniform law on the unit disc of the complex…
It is well known that, under broad assumptions, the time-scaled point process of exceedances of a high level by a stationary sequence converges to a compound Poisson process as the level grows. The purpose of this note is to demonstrate…
Real numbers from the interval [0, 1] are randomly selected with uniform distribution. There are $n$ of them and they are revealed one by one. However, we do not know their values but only their relative ranks. We want to stop on recently…
A new recursive function on discrete interval exchange transformation associated to a composition of length $r$, and the permutation $\sigma(i) = r -i +1$ is defined. Acting on composition $c$, this recursive function counts the number of…
The study of "random segments" is a classic issue in geometrical probability, whose complexity depends on how it is defined. But in apparently simple models, the random behavior is not immediate. In the present manuscript the following…
A constrained diffusive random walk of n steps and a random flight in Rd, which can be expressed in the same terms, were investigated independently in recent papers. The n steps of the walk are identically and independently distributed…
We discuss joint temporal and contemporaneous aggregation of $N$ independent copies of AR(1) process with random-coefficient $a \in [0,1)$ when $N$ and time scale $n$ increase at different rate. Assuming that $a$ has a density, regularly…
We establish a central limit theorem for counting large continued fraction digits $(a_n)$, i.e. we count occurrences $\{a_n>b_n\}$, where $(b_n)$ is a sequence of positive integers. Our result improves a similar result by Philipp which…
We give a sufficient condition for a random sequence in [0,1] generated by a $\Psi$-process to be equidistributed. The condition is met by the canonical example -- the $\max$-2 process -- where the $n$th term is whichever of two uniformly…
A general asymptotic theory is given for the panel data AR(1) model with time series independent in different cross sections. The theory covers the cases of stationary process, nearly non-stationary process, unit root process, mildly…
