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…

This paper proposes a specification test for the conventional distributional assumptions of error terms in binary choice models, focusing on its tail properties. Based on extreme value theory, we first establish that the tail index of the…

In this study, we present a revision of the Quantum Optimal Control Theory (QOCT) originally proposed by Rabitz et al (Phys. Rev. A 37, 49504964 (1988)), which has broad applications in physical and chemical physics. First, we identify the…

Every function over the natural numbers has an infinite subdomain on which the function is non-decreasing. Motivated by a question of Dzhafarov and Schweber, we study the reverse mathematics of variants of this statement. It turns out that…

Lov\'asz Local Lemma (LLL) is a probabilistic tool that allows us to prove the existence of combinatorial objects in the cases when standard probabilistic argument does not work (there are many partly independent conditions). LLL can be…

In this paper, we consider the concept of limit, one of the basic concepts of mathematical analysis. At a point $a\in{\mathbb{R}}$, the limit of a function $f$ from $A\subset\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ is $L\in{\mathbb{R}}$ if and only if…

The Dirichlet lambda function $\lambda(s)$ is defined for $\mathrm{Re}(s) > 1$ by \[ \lambda(s) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(2n+1)^s}. \] This function was initially studied by Euler on the real line, where he denoted it by $N(s)$. In…

We derive converse Lyapunov theorems for input-to-state stability (ISS) of linear infinite-dimensional analytic systems. We show that input-to-state stability of a linear system does not imply existence of a coercive quadratic ISS Lyapunov…

We revisit J. Shallit's minimization problem from 1994 SIAM Review concerning a two-term asymptotics of the minimum of a certain rational sum involving variables and products of their reciprocals, the number of variables being the large…

Let $\Delta$ be the Dirichlet Laplacian on the interval $(0,\pi)$. The null controllability properties of the equation $$u_{tt}+\Delta^2 u+\rho (\Delta)^\alpha u_t=F(x,t)$$ are studied. Let $T>0$, and assume initial conditions $(u^0,u^1)\in…

We obtain a strong renewal theorem with infinite mean beyond regular variation, when the underlying distribution belongs to the domain of geometric partial attraction a semistable law with index $\alpha\in (1/2,1]$. In the process we obtain…

Abel's continuity theorem for power series is a great tool to compute sums and prove properties of special functions. However, apart from two basic examples, this no longer occupies a place in Analysis courses. This note is an invitation to…

Some of the most important results in prediction theory and time series analysis when finitely many values are removed from or added to its infinite past have been obtained using difficult and diverse techniques ranging from duality in…

With a new proof approach we prove in a more general setting the classical convergence theorem that almost everywhere convergence of measurable functions on a finite measure space implies convergence in measure. Specifically, we generalize…

Let $$\lambda(s)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac1{(2n+1)^s},$$ $$\beta(s)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^{n}}{(2n+1)^s},$$ and $$\eta(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^s}$$ be the Dirichlet lambda function, its alternating form, and the Dirichlet…

The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) is one of the most fundamental results in statistics. It states that the standardized sample mean of a sequence of $n$ mutually independent and identically distributed random variables with finite first and…

We study Tao's finitary viewpoint of convergence in metric spaces, as captured by the notion of metastability. We adopt the perspective of continuous model theory. We show that, in essence, metastable convergence with a given rate is the…

This paper proposes a direct, and simple approach to the H infinity norm calculation in more general settings. In contrast to the method based on the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma, our approach does not require a controllability assumption,…

Our work builds on known results for k-uniform hypergraphs including the existence of limits, a Regularity Lemma and a Removal Lemma. Our main tool here is a theory of measures on ultraproduct spaces which establishes a correspondence…

We combine the fixed-order evaluation of the $b\bar{b}$ sum rules with a non-relativistic effective-theory approach. The combined result for the $n$-th moment includes all terms suppressed with respect to the leading-order result by ${\cal…
