It is known that any $m$-gonal form of rank $n \ge 5$ is almost regular. On the other words, any $m$-gonal form of rank $n \ge 5$ represents every sufficiently large integer which is locally represented. In this article, we study the…
It is known that any $m$-gonal form of $\rank n \ge 5$ is almost regular. In this article, we study the sufficiently large integers which are represented by (almost regular) $m$-gonal forms of $\rank n \ge 6$.
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…
A set ${\cal A} \subseteq \Set{1,...,N}$ is of type $B_2$ if all sums $a+b$, with $a\ge b$, $a,b\in {\cal A}$, are distinct. It is well known that the largest such set is of size asymptotic to $N^{1/2}$. For a $B_2$ set ${\cal A}$ of this…
The asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) under regularity conditions is a cornerstone of statistical theory. In this paper, we give explicit upper bounds on the distributional distance between the distribution of…
We study pairs and m--tuples of compositions of a positive integer n with parts restricted to a subset P of positive integers. We obtain some exact enumeration results for the number of tuples of such compositions having the same number of…
We study the compositions of an integer n whose part sizes do not exceed a fixed integer k. We use the methods of analytic combinatorics to obtain precise asymptotic formulas for the number of such compositions, the total number of parts…
The asymptotics, as $n\to\infty$, for the expected number of distinct part sizes in a random composition of an integer n is obtained.
Let $K \in \R^d$ be a convex body, and assume that $L$ is a randomly rotated and shifted integer lattice. Let $K_L$ be the convex hull of the (random) points $K \cap L$. The mean width $W(K_L)$ of $K_L$ is investigated. The asymptotic order…
The normalized maximum likelihood (NML) is one of the most important distribution in coding theory and statistics. NML is the unique solution (if exists) to the pointwise minimax regret problem. However, NML is not defined even for simple…
Let $\lambda$ be a partition of the positive integer $n$ chosen umiformly at random among all such partitions. Let $L_n=L_n(\lambda)$ and $M_n=M_n(\lambda)$ be the largest part size and its multiplicity, respectively. For large $n$, we…
A composition of an integer is called Carlitz if adjacent parts are different. Several characteristics of random Carlitz compsitions have been studied recently by Knopfmacher and Prodinger. We complement their work by establishing the…
We provide upper and lower bounds for the expected length $\mathbb E(L_{n,m})$ of the longest common pattern contained in $m$ random permutations of length $n$. We also address the tightness of the concentration of $L_{n,m}$ around $\mathbb…
In this paper we investigate how a typical, large-dimensional representation looks for a complex Lie algebra. In particular, we study the family $\mathfrak{sl}_{r+1}(\mathbb{C})$ of Lie algebras for $r \geq 2$ and derive asymptotic…
In a sample variance decomposition, with components functions of the sample's spacings, the largest component $\tilde{I}_n$ is used in cluster detection. It is shown for normal samples that the asymptotic distribution of $\tilde{I}_n$ is…
We study the statistical properties of random numbers under the Martin-L\"of definition of randomness, proving that random numbers obey analogues of Strong Law of Large Numbers, the Law of the Iterated Logarithm, and that they are normal.…
We report on some statistical regularity properties of greatest common divisors: for large random samples of integers, the number of coprime pairs and the average of the gcd's of those pairs are approximately normal, while the maximum of…
We study intermediate-scale statistics for the fractional parts of the sequence $(\alpha a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$, where $(a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a positive, real-valued lacunary sequence, and $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$. In particular, we consider…
A cyclic urn is an urn model for balls of types $0,\ldots,m-1$. The urn starts at time zero with an initial configuration. Then, in each time step, first a ball is drawn from the urn uniformly and independently from the past. If its type is…
The Mahonian statistic is the number of inversions in a permutation of a multiset with $a_i$ elements of type $i$, $1\le i\le m$. The counting function for this statistic is the $q$ analog of the multinomial coefficient…
