A conjecture of Sendov states that if a polynomial has all its roots in the unit disk and if $\beta$ is one of those roots, then within one unit of $\beta$ lies a root of the polynomial's derivative. If we define $r(\beta)$ to be the…

We study the negative beta transformations $T_{-\beta}:=-\beta x +\lfloor\beta x\rfloor+1$ for $x\in(0,1]$ and $\beta>1$. We present a complete characterization of pairs of dstinct non-integers with the same $T_{-\beta}$-invariant measure:…

The subshift of finite type property (also known as the Markov property) is ubiquitous in dynamical systems and the simplest and most widely studied class of dynamical systems are $\beta$-shifts, namely transformations of the form…

We establish a precise connection between two elliptic quasilinear problems with Dirichlet data in a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^{N}.$ The first one, of the form \[ -\Delta_{p}u=\beta(u)| \nabla u| ^{p}+\lambda f(x)+\alpha, \] involves a…

Let $\beta \equiv \{ \beta_\mathbf{i} \}_{\mathbf{i} \in \mathbb{Z}_+^d}$ be a $d$-dimensional multisequence. Curto and Fialkow, have shown that if the infinite moment matrix $M(\beta)$ is finite-rank positive semidefinite, then $\beta$ has…

Let $S$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with finite positive Lebesgue measure. The Beer index of convexity $\operatorname{b}(S)$ of $S$ is the probability that two points of $S$ chosen uniformly independently at random see each other in $S$.…

Sofic groups were defined implicitly by Gromov in [Gr99] and explicitly by Weiss in [We00]. All residually finite groups (and hence every linear group) is sofic. The purpose of this paper is to introduce, for every countable sofic group…

Let $\lbrace f_i(x)=s_i \cdot x+t_i \rbrace$ be a self-similar IFS on $\mathbb{R}$ and let $\beta >1$ be a Pisot number. We prove that if $\frac{\log |s_i|}{\log \beta}\notin \mathbb{Q}$ for some $i$ then for every $C^1$ diffeomorphism $g$…

In this paper, we provide an algorithm to estimate from below the dimension of self-similar measures with overlaps. As an application, we show that for any $ \beta\in(1,2) $, the dimension of the Bernoulli convolution $ \mu_\beta $…

Theory and application of stochastic approximation (SA) have become increasingly relevant due in part to applications in optimization and reinforcement learning. This paper takes a new look at SA with constant step-size $\alpha>0$, defined…

In [17] the author and A. Vershik have shown that for $\be=\frac12(1+\sqrt5)$ and the alphabet $\{0,1\}$ the infinite Bernoulli convolution ($=$ the Erd\"os measure) has a property similar to the Lebesgue measure. Namely, it is…

Bernoulli convolutions are certain measures on the unit interval depending on a parameter $\beta$ between 1 and 2. In spite of their simple definition, they are not yet well understood. We study their two-dimensional density which exists by…

We examine measure preserving mappings $f$ acting from a probability space $(\Omega, F,\mu) $ into a probability space $% (\Omega ^{*},F^{*},\mu ^{*}) ,$ where $\mu ^{*}=\mu (f^{-1})$. Conditions on $f$, under which $f$ preserves the…

We study natural measures on sets of beta-expansions and on slices through self similar sets. In the setting of beta-expansions, these allow us to better understand the measure of maximal entropy for the random beta-transformation and to…

Let $p$ be a prime and ${\mathfrak P}_p$ the set of positive integers which are prime to $p$. Recently, Wang and Cai proved that for every positive integer $r$ and prime $p>2$ $$ \sum_{\substack{i+j+k=p^r\\ i,j,k\in{\mathfrak P}_p}}…

The paper is devoted to infinite Bernoulli convolutions generated by positive multigeometric series and to probability distributions of random variables whose digits in an even integer base-$s$ expansion with two redundant digits form a…

A {\it uniformly $p$-to-one endomorphism} is a measure-preserving map with entropy log $p$ which is almost everywhere $p$-to-one and for which the conditional expectation of each preimage is precisely $1/p$. The {\it standard} example of…

For the random eigenvalues with density corresponding to the Jacobi ensemble $$c \cdot \prod_{i < j} | \lambda_i - \lambda_j |^\beta \prod^n_{i=1} (2 - \lambda_i)^a (2 + \lambda_i)^b I_{(-2,2)} (\lambda_i) $$ $(a, b > -1, \beta > 0) $ a…

We study the Lp-integrated risk of some classical estimators of the density, when the observations are drawn from a strictly stationary sequence. The results apply to a large class of sequences, which can be non-mixing in the sense of…

Given $N$ i.i.d. samples from a probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbf{R}^d$, we study the rate of convergence of the empirical measure $\mu_N \to \mu$ in the negative Sobolev space $W^{-\alpha, p}$. When $W^{-\alpha, p}$ contains point…
