Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be a sequence of independent random points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with common Lebesgue density $f$. Under some conditions on $f$, we obtain a Poisson limit theorem, as $n \to \infty$, for the number of large probability…

The paper considers the problem of calculating the distribution function of a strictly stable law at $x\to\infty$. To solve this problem, an expansion of the distribution function in a power series was obtained, and an estimate of the…

This paper systematically investigates the analytic properties of the ratio $f(s)/f(1-s) = X(s)$ based on the Davenport-Heilbronn functional equation $f(s) = X(s)f(1-s)$. We propose a novel method to analyze the distribution of non-trivial…

We refine Epstein's method to prove joint concavity/convexity of matrix trace functions of the extended Lieb type $Tr{\Phi(A^p)^{1/2}\Psi(B^q)\Phi(A^p)^{1/2}}^s$, where $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are positive linear maps. By the same method combined…

It is established a series of criteria for continuous and homeomorphic extension to the boundary of the so-called lower $Q$-homeomorphisms $f$ between domains in $\overline{\Rn}=\Rn\cup\{\infty\}$, $n\geqslant2$, under integral constraints…

We study extremal properties of the function $$ F(x) := \min\{k\|x\|^{1-1/k}\colon k\ge 1\},\ x\in[0,1], $$ where $\|x\|=\min\{x,1-x\}$. In particular, we show that $F$ is the pointwise largest function of the class of all real-valued…

Given $n$ independent random marked $d$-vectors $X_i$ with a common density, define the measure $\nu_n = \sum_i \xi_i $, where $\xi_i$ is a measure (not necessarily a point measure) determined by the (suitably rescaled) set of points near…

Katz and Sarnak conjectured a correspondence between the $n$-level density statistics of zeros from families of $L$-functions with eigenvalues from random matrix ensembles. In many cases the sums of smooth test functions, whose Fourier…

We use a Poisson point process approach to prove distributional convergence to a stable law for non square-integrable observables $\phi: [0,1]\to R$, mostly of the form $\phi (x) = d(x,x_0)^{-\frac{1}{\alpha}}$,$0<\alpha\le 2$, on…

This work has been motivated by recent papers that quantify the density of values of generic quadratic forms and other polynomials at integer points, in particular ones that use Rogers' second moment estimates. In this paper we establish…

This work advances knowledge of the threshold of prox-boundedness of a function; an important concern in the use of proximal point optimization algorithms and in determining the existence of the Moreau envelope of the function. In finite…

The purpose of this paper is to provide a set of sufficient conditions so that the normalized form of the Fox-Wright functions have certain geometric properties like close-to-convexity, univalency, convexity and starlikeness inside the unit…

Let $f(t_1,\ldots,t_n)$ be a nondegenerate integral quadratic form. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the function $D_f(X)$, the number of integers of absolute value up to $X$ represented by $f$. When $f$ is isotropic or $n$ is at least…

We consider approximating of the median of absolutely continuous distribution given by a probability density function $f$. We assume that $f$ has $r$ continuous derivatives, with derivative of order $r$ being H\"older continuous with the…

Let $X$ be a random variable with distribution function $F,$ and $X_{1},X_{2},...,X_{n}$ are independent copies of $X.$ Consider the order statistics $X_{i:n},$ $i=1,2,...,n$ and denote $F_{i:n}(x)=P\{X_{i:n}\leq x\}.$ Using majorization…

We tackle the inverse problem of reconstructing an unknown finite measure $\mu$ from a noisy observation of a generalized moment of $\mu$ defined as the integral of a continuous and bounded operator $\Phi$ with respect to $\mu$. When only a…
