Given any polyhedron from which we select two random points uniformly and independently, we show that all the moments of the distance between those points can be always written in terms of elementary functions. As an illustration, the mean…

An algebraic approximation, of order $K$, of a polyhedron correlation function (CF) can be obtained from $\gamma\pp(r)$, its chord-length distribution (CLD), considering first, within the subinterval $[D_{i-1},\, D_i]$ of the full range of…

We show that the chord-length distribution function $[\gamma"(r)]$ of any bounded polyhedron has an elementary algebraic form, the expression of which changes in the different subdomains of the $r$-range. In each of these, the $\gamma"(r)$…

The notion of probability density for a random function is not as straightforward as in finite-dimensional cases. While a probability density function generally does not exist for functional data, we show that it is possible to develop the…

Given a parametric polynomial curve $\gamma:[a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$, how can we sample a random point $\mathfrak{x}\in \mathrm{im}(\gamma)$ in such a way that it is distributed uniformly with respect to the arc-length? Unfortunately,…

We consider the number of crossings in a graph which is embedded randomly on a convex set of points. We give an estimate to the normal distribution in Kolmogorov distance which implies a convergence rate of order $n^{-1/2}$ for various…

The polygonal distributions are a class of distributions that can be defined via the mixture of triangular distributions over the unit interval. The class includes the uniform and trapezoidal distributions, and is an alternative to the beta…

Consider a string of $n$ positions, i.e. a discrete string of length $n$. Units of length $k$ are placed at random on this string in such a way that they do not overlap, and as often as possible, i.e. until all spacings between neighboring…
