We introduce the concept of shifting distance functions, and we establish a new fixed point theorem which generalizes the Banach contraction principle. An example is provided to illustrate our result.

We show that an algorithmic construction of sequences of recursive trees leads to a direct proof of the convergence of random recursive trees in an associated Doob-Martin compactification; it also gives a representation of the limit in…

We provide a systematic approach for deducing statistical limit laws via martingale-coboundary decomposition, for nonuniformly hyperbolic systems with slowly contracting and expanding directions. In particular, if the associated return time…

Let $(\xi_1,\eta_1)$, $(\xi_2,\eta_2),\ldots$ be a sequence of i.i.d. two-dimensional random vectors. In the earlier article Iksanov and Pilipenko (2014) weak convergence in the $J_1$-topology on the Skorokhod space of…
