This paper is concerned with the characterizations of fixed points of the generating function of branching processes with countably infinitely many types. We assume each particle of type $i$ can only give offspring of type $j\geq i$, whose…

We introduce a theory of probability in $\lambda$-rings designed to efficiently describe random variables valued in multisets of complex numbers, varieties over a field, or other similar enriched settings. A key role is played by the…

We introduce a novel method for obtaining a wide variety of moments of any random variable with a well-defined moment-generating function (MGF). We derive new expressions for fractional moments and fractional absolute moments, both central…

For a symmetric bounded measurable function W on [0,1]^2, "moments" of W can be defined as values t(F,W) indexed by simple graphs. We prove that every such function is determined by its moments up to a measure preserving transformation of…

In this note, which is the second part of a three-part series, we focus on uniqueness sets specifically in the case of spaces of entire functions of exponential type. As in the first part, we consider sets with angular density; however, now…

This paper deals with sequences of random variables $X_n$ only taking values in $\{0,\ldots,n\}$. The probability generating functions of such random variables are polynomials of degree $n$. Under the assumption that the roots of these…

We define twelve variants of a Reifenberg's affine approximation property, which are known to be connected with the singular sets of minimal surfaces. With this motivation we investigate the regularity of the sets possessing these. We…

We deal with a family of functionals depending on curvatures and we prove for them compactness and semicontinuity properties in the class of closed and bounded sets which satisfy a uniform exterior and interior sphere condition. We apply…

In this article, we consider a class of degenerate singular problems. The degeneracy is captured by the presence of a class of $p$-admissible weights, which may vanish or blow up near the origin. Further, the singularity is allowed to vary…

Singularities appear in numerous important mathematical models used in Physics. And in most of such cases singularities are involved in essentially nonlinear contexts. For more than four decades, general enough nonlinear theories of…

The main result of the paper is the following. Let a non-degenerate distribution have finite moments $\mu_k$ of all orders $k=0,1,2,\ldots$. Then the sequence $\{\mu_k/k!, \; k=0,1,2,\ldots\}$ either contains infinitely many different terms…
