For positive $q\neq1$, the $q$-exchangeability of an infinite random word is introduced as quasi-invariance under permutations of letters, with a special cocycle which accounts for inversions in the word. This framework allows us to extend…

A predictive distribution over a sequence of $N+1$ events is said to be "frequency mimicking" whenever the probability for the final event conditioned on the outcome of the first $N$ events equals the relative frequency of successes among…

In this work, we first prove a stability theorem for traveling waves in a class of non-cooperative reaction-diffusion systems with nonlocal dispersal of equal diffusivities. Our stability criterion is in the sense that the initial…

We give simple necessary and sufficient conditions for the inclusion-exclusion identity to hold for an infinite countable number of sets. In terms of a random variable, whose range are nonnegative integers, this condition is equivalent to…

It is well known that the independence of the sample mean and the sample variance characterizes the normal distribution. By using Anosov's theorem, we further investigate the analogous characteristic properties in terms of the sample mean…

Let $a_n$ be the random increasing sequence of natural numbers which takes each value independently with decreasing probability of order $n^{-\alpha}$, $0 < \alpha < 1/2$. We prove that, almost surely, for every measure-preserving system…

We give a constructive, metastable formulation of a theorem about the exchange of limits for convergent sequence $L^1$ functions. A crucial tool is a one-dimensional version of Szemeredi's regularity lemma for $L^1$ functions.

This paper studies the asymptotic properties of weighted sums of the form $Z_n=\sum_{i=1}^n a_i X_i$, in which $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$ are i.i.d.~random variables and $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$ correspond to either eigenvalues or singular…

For n>=1 let X_n be a vector of n independent Bernoulli random variables. We assume that X_n consists of M "blocks" such that the Bernoulli random variables in block i have success probability p_i. Here M does not depend on n and the size…

In sustained growth with random dynamics stationary distributions can exist without detailed balance. This suggests thermodynamical behavior in fast growing complex systems. In order to model such phenomena we apply both a discrete and a…

If we know that some kind of sequence always converges, we can ask how quickly and how uniformly it converges. Many convergent sequences converge non-uniformly and, relatedly, have no computable rate of convergence. However proof-theoretic…

Motivated by recent interests in predictive inference under distribution shift, we study the problem of approximating finite weighted exchangeable sequences by a mixture of finite sequences with independent terms. Various bounds are derived…

We consider the problem of closeness of solutions of an exact and an averaged difference equations on an infinite interval. Appropriate assertions are derived from one special theorem on the stability under constantly acting perturbations.

Limit theorems for a random number of independent random variables are frequently called transfer theorems. Investigations into this direction for sums of random variables with independent random sample size have been originated by…

General Central limit theorem deals with weak limits (in type) of sums of row-elements of array random variables. In some situations as in the invariance principle problem, the sums may include only parts of the row-elements. For strictly…

Let $\{X_n, n \ge 1\}$ be a sequence of stationary associated random variables. We discuss another set of conditions under which a central limit theorem for U-statistics based on $\{X_n, n \ge 1\}$ holds. We look at U-statistics based on…

A strictly stationary sequence of random variables is constructed with the following properties: (i) the random variables take the values -1 and +1 with probability 1/2 each, (ii) every five of the random variables are independent, (iii)…

For a sequence $\{X_{n}, \, n \geqslant 1 \}$ of nonnegative random variables where $\max[\min(X_{n} - s,t),0]$, $t > s \geqslant 0$, satisfy a moment inequality, sufficient conditions are given under which $\sum_{k=1}^n (X_k - \mathbb{E}…

Turing's famous 'machine' framework provides an intuitively clear conception of 'computing with real numbers'. A recursive counterexample to a theorem shows that the theorem does not hold when restricted to computable objects. These…

Consider a (possibly infinite) exchangeable sequence X={X_n:1\leqn<N}, where N\in N\cup {\infty}, with values in a Borel space (A,A), and note X_n=(X_1,...,X_n). We say that X is Hoeffding decomposable if, for each n, every square…
