We consider the stochastic heat equation on $\mathbb R^d$ with multiplicative space-time white noise noise smoothed in space. For $d\geq 3$ and small noise intensity, the solution is known to converge to a strictly positive random variable…

We consider the problem of `discrete-time persistence', which deals with the zero-crossings of a continuous stochastic process, X(T), measured at discrete times, T = n(\Delta T). For a Gaussian Stationary Process the persistence (no…

We study the variance of the number of zeroes of a stationary Gaussian process on a long interval. We give a simple asymptotic description under mild mixing conditions. This allows us to characterise minimal and maximal growth. We show that…

It is known that Hilbert's Tenth Problem over the Gaussian ring $\mathbb Z[i]=\{a+bi:\ a,b\in\mathbb Z\}$ is undecidable. In this paper we obtain the following further result: There is no algorithm to decide whether an arbitrarily given…

Sequences of discrete random variables are studied whose probability generating functions are zero-free in a sector of the complex plane around the positive real axis. Sharp bounds on the cumulants of all orders are stated, leading to…

In this paper, using the method proposed by Dembo and Mukherjee [5], we obtain the persistence exponents of random Weyl polynomials in both cases: half nonnegative axis and the whole real axis. Our result is a confirmation to the…

Let $x_1, \dots, x_n$ be $n$ independent and identically distributed random variables with mean zero, unit variance, and finite moments of all remaining orders. We study the random polynomial $p_n$ having roots at $x_1, \dots, x_n$. We…

How many operations do we need on the average to compute an approximate root of a random Gaussian polynomial system? Beyond Smale's 17th problem that asked whether a polynomial bound is possible, we prove a quasi-optimal bound $\text{(input…

We approximate the white-noise driven stochastic heat equation by replacing the fractional Laplacian by the generator of a discrete time random walk on the one dimensional lattice, and approximating white noise by a collection of i.i.d.…

Polynomial processes are defined by the property that conditional expectations of polynomial functions of the process are again polynomials of the same or lower degree. Many fundamental stochastic processes, including affine processes, are…

In this paper we investigate growth properties and the zero distribution of polynomials attached to arithmetic functions $g$ and $h$, where $g$ is normalized, of moderate growth, and $0<h(n) \leq h(n+1)$. We put $P_0^{g,h}(x)=1$ and…
