Let I be a compact d-dimensional manifold, let X:I\to R be a Gaussian process with regular paths and let F_I(u), u\in R, be the probability distribution function of sup_{t\in I}X(t). We prove that under certain regularity and nondegeneracy…
We outline a general procedure on how to apply random positive linear operators in nonparametric estimation. As a consequence, we give explicit confidence bands and intervals for a distribution function $F$ concentrated on $[0,1]$ by means…
We develop a Glivenko--Cantelli theory for monotone, almost additive functions of i.\,i.\,d.\ sequences of random variables indexed by~$\Z^d$. Under certain conditions on the random sequence, short range correlations are allowed as well. We…
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the strong approximation of the $p$-fold integrated empirical process, $p$ being a fixed positive integer. More precisely, we obtain the exact rate of the approximations by a sequence of…
We show that the permanent of a matrix can be written as the expectation value of a function of random variables each with zero mean and unit variance. This result is used to show that Glynn's theorem and a simplified MacMahon theorem…
Let $T$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix, such that each diagonal entry $T_{i,i}$ is a continuous random variable, independent from all the other entries of $T$. Then for every $n\times n$ matrix $A$ and every $t\ge0$ $$…
The function f:X -> Y is called k-monotonically increasing if there is a partition X = X_1 U ... U X_k such that f|X_i : X_i -> Y is monotonically increasing for i=1,...,k. It is proved that a one-to-one function f:N -> N is k-monotonically…
We consider a branching random walk in time-inhomogeneous random environment, in which all particles at generation $k$ branch into the same random number of particles $\mathcal{L}_{k+1}\ge 2$, where the $\mathcal{L}_k$, $k\in\mathbb{N}$,…
Consider random matrices $A$, of dimension $m\times (m+n)$, drawn from an ensemble with probability density $f(\rmtr AA^\dagger)$, with $f(x)$ a given appropriate function. Break $A = (B,X)$ into an $m\times m$ block $B$ and the…
The proposed universality of small scale turbulence is investigated for a set of measurements in a cryogenic free jet with a variation of the Reynolds number (Re) from 8500 to 10^6. The traditional analysis of the statistics of velocity…
Let $w:[0,1]^2\rightarrow [0,1]$ be a symmetric function, and consider the random process $G(n,w)$, where vertices are chosen from $[0,1]$ uniformly at random, and $w$ governs the edge formation probability. Such a random graph is said to…
The algorithmic theory of randomness is well developed when the underlying space is the set of finite or infinite sequences and the underlying probability distribution is the uniform distribution or a computable distribution. These…
We study random trees which are invariant in law under the operation of contracting each edge independently with probability $p\in(0,1)$. We show that all such trees can be constructed through Poissonian sampling from a certain class of…
We show that there exists a family of irreducible representations R_i (of finite groups G_i) such that, for any constant t, the average of R_i over t uniformly random elements g_1, ..., g_t of G_i has operator norm 1 with probability…
Let $X_1, X_2,\ldots$ be random elements of the Skorokhod space $D(\mathbb{R})$ and $\xi_1, \xi_2, \ldots$ positive random variables such that the pairs $(X_1,\xi_1), (X_2,\xi_2),\ldots$ are independent and identically distributed. The…
We study for bounded multiplicative functions $f$ sums of the form \begin{align*} \sum_{\substack{n\leq x \atop n\equiv a\pmod q}}f(n), \end{align*} establishing that their variance over residue classes $a \pmod q$ is small as soon as…
Max-stable processes provide natural models for the modelling of spatial extreme values observed at a set of spatial sites. Full likelihood inference for max-stable data is, however, complicated by the form of the likelihood function as it…
Let a sequence of iid. random variables $\xi_1,...,\xi_n$ be given on a measurable space $(X,\cal X)$ with distribution $\mu$ together with a function $f(x_1,...,x_k)$ on the product space $(X^k,{\cal X}^k)$. Let $\mu_n$ denote the…
Suppose that i.i.d. random variables $X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots$ are chosen uniformly from $[0,1]$, and let $f: [0,1] \rightarrow [0,1]$ be an increasing bijection. Define $\mu_{f}$ to be the expected value of $f(X_{i})$ for each $i$. Define the…
The pinning of flux lattices by weak impurity disorder is studied in the absence of free dislocations using both the gaussian variational method and, to $O(\epsilon=4-d)$, the functional renormalization group. We find universal logarithmic…
