Consider a coin tossing experiment which consists of tossing one of two coins at a time, according to a renewal process. The first coin is fair and the second has probability $1/2 + \theta$, $\theta \in [-1/2,1/2]$, $\theta$ unknown but…
An important question arising from the Frobenius Coin Problem is to decide whether or not a given monetary sum S can be obtained from N coin denominations. We develop a new Generating Function G(x), where the coefficient of x^i is equal to…
In a recent article a generalization of the binomial distribution associated with a sequence of positive numbers was examined. The analysis of the nonnegativeness of the formal expressions was a key-point to allow to give them a statistical…
These notes describe several loop soup models and their {\it universal behaviour} in dimensions greater or equal to 3. These loop models represent certain classical or quantum statistical mechanical systems. These systems undergo phase…

The paper considers a universal approach that allows one to quite simply obtain nonlinear asymptotic estimates of various summation functions. It is shown the application of this approach to the asymptotic estimation of divergent Dirichlet…
The explicit form for the characteristic function of a stable distribution on the line is derived analytically by solving the associated functional equation and applying theory of regular variation, without appeal to the general…
Hit-and-Run is known to be one of the best random sampling algorithms, its mixing time is polynomial in dimension. Nevertheless, in practice the number of steps required to achieve uniformly distributed samples is rather high. We propose…

We give an explicit coinduction principle for recursively-defined stochastic processes. The principle applies to any closed property, not just equality, and works even when solutions are not unique. The rule encapsulates low-level analytic…
Discrete-time quantum walks are considered a counterpart of random walks and the study for them has been getting attention since around 2000. In this paper, we focus on a quantum walk which generates a probability distribution splitting to…
We show that the rare events present in dissipated work that enters Jarzynski equality, when mapped appropriately to the phenomenon of large deviations found in a biased coin toss, are enough to yield a quantitative work probability…
The binary radix expansion of a real number can be used to code the outcome of any series of coin tosses, a fact that provides an intriguing link between number theory, measure theory and statistical physics. Inspired by this fact, a…
If two random variables X and A are functionally related via f(X)=A for some strictly monotone continuously differentiable function f:R->R, the distribution of X may easily be computed from the distribution of A.
This paper introduces the notion of referring forms as a new metric for analyzing sequential circuits from a functional perspective. Sequential circuits are modeled as causal stream functions, the outputs of which depend solely on the past…
Asymptotic statistical theory for estimating functions is reviewed in a generality suitable for stochastic processes. Conditions concerning existence of a consistent estimator, uniqueness, rate of convergence, and the asymptotic…
We apply a common measure of randomness, the entropy, in the context of iterated functions on a finite set with n elements. For a permutation, it turns out that this entropy is asymptotically (for a growing number of iterations) close to…
In the literature, there are numerous studies of one-dimensional discrete-time quantum walks (DTQWs) using a moving shift operator. However, there is no exact solution for the limiting probability distributions of DTQWs on cycles using a…
We consider an estimation problem of expected functionals of a general random element that values in a metric space. If the functional forms an explicit function of some unknown parameters, we can estimate it by plugging-in a suitable…
We propose a general formalism of iterated random functions with semigroup property, under which exact and approximate Bayesian posterior updates can be viewed as specific instances. A convergence theory for iterated random functions is…
