For an analytic function f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^\infty a_n z^n satisfying the inequality \sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)|a_n|\leq \beta, sharp bound on $\beta$ is determined so that $f$ is either starlike or convex of order $\alpha$. Several other…
Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be an i.i.d. sample from symmetric stable distribution with stability parameter $\alpha$ and scale parameter $\gamma$. Let $\varphi_n$ be the empirical characteristic function. We prove an uniform large deviation…
For any fixed positive integer $k$, let $\alpha_{k}$ denote the smallest $\alpha \in (0,1)$ such that the random graph sequence $\left\{G\left(n, n^{-\alpha}\right)\right\}$ does not satisfy the zero-one law for the set $\mathcal{E}_{k}$ of…
We prove exponential convergence to the stationary measure for a class of 1d Lagrangian systems with random forcing in the space-periodic setting: $$ \phi_t+\phi_x^2/2=F^{\omega}, x \in S^1 = \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}. $$ This confirms a part…
Order statistics of periodic, Gaussian noise with 1/f^{\alpha} power spectrum is investigated. Using simulations and phenomenological arguments, we find three scaling regimes for the average gap d_k=<x_k-x_{k+1}> between the k-th and…
We prove limit theorems of an entirely new type for certain long memory regularly varying stationary infinitely divisible random processes. These theorems involve multiple phase transitions governed by how long the memory is. Apart from one…
We prove two inequalities for the Mittag-Leffler function, namely that the function $\log E_\alpha(x^\alpha)$ is sub-additive for $0<\alpha<1,$ and super-additive for $\alpha>1.$ These assertions follow from two new binomial inequalities,…
We consider the movement of a particle advected by a random flow of the form $\vv+\delta \bF(\vx)$, with $\vv\in\R^d$ a constant drift, $\bF(\vx)$ -- the fluctuation -- given by a zero mean, stationary random field and $\delta\ll 1$ so that…
Consider a one dimensional critical branching L\'{e}vy process $((Z_t)_{t\geq 0}, \mathbb {P}_x)$. Assume that the offspring distribution either has finite second moment or belongs to the domain of attraction to some $\alpha$-stable…
In this paper we study the distribution of the sequence $(\alpha \zeta^{n})_{n\geq 1}$ mod $1$, where $\alpha,\zeta$ are fixed positive real numbers, with special focus on the accumulation point $0$. For this purpose we introduce…
The aim of this paper is to develop analytic techniques to deal with certain monotonicity of combinatorial sequences. (1) A criterion for the monotonicity of the function $\sqrt[x]{f(x)}$ is given, which is a continuous analog for one…
A time-stepping $L1$ scheme for solving a time fractional Fokker-Planck equation of order $\alpha \in (0, 1)$, with a general driving force, is investigated. A stability bound for the semi-discrete solution is obtained for…
Suppose $\alpha, \beta$ are Lipschitz strongly concave functions from $[0, 1]$ to $\mathbb{R}$ and $\gamma$ is a concave function from $[0, 1]$ to $\mathbb{R}$, such that $\alpha(0) = \gamma(0) = 0$, and $\alpha(1) = \beta(0) = 0$ and…
In this note prove the following Berwald-type inequality, showing that for any integrable log-concave function $f:\mathbb R^n\rightarrow[0,\infty)$ and any concave function $h:L\rightarrow\mathbb [0,\infty)$, where $L$ is the epigraph of…
We investigate the viable exponential $f(R)$ gravity in the metric formalism with $f(R)=-\beta R_s (1-e^{-R/R_s})$. The latest sample of the Hubble parameter measurements with 23 data points is used to place bounds on this $f(R)$ model. A…
We formulate a family of scalar softening laws by setting the stored-energy density $\psi(\eta)=\int_{0}^{\eta}[1-F(s)]d s$, where $F$ ranges over exponential, Cauchy, logistic, half-normal, Gudermannian, hypergeometric, radical, rational,…
For $p\ge 1$ let $\varphi_p(x)=x^2/2$ if $|x|\le 1$ and $\varphi_p(x)=1/p|x|^p-1/p+1/2$ if $|x|>1$. For a random variable $\xi$ let $\tau_{\varphi_p}(\xi)$ denote $\inf\{a\ge 0:\;\forall_{\lambda\in\mathbb{R}}\;…
