We obtain the law of large numbers (LLN) and the central limit theorem (CLT) for weakly dependent non-stationary arrays of random fields with asymptotically unbounded moments. The weak dependence condition for arrays of random fields is…
We derive a perturbation expansion for general self-interacting random walks, where steps are made on the basis of the history of the path. Examples of models where this expansion applies are reinforced random walk, excited random walk, the…
A connection is made between the random turns model of vicious walkers and random permutations indexed by their increasing subsequences. Consequently the scaled distribution of the maximum displacements in a particular asymmeteric version…
Distance correlation is a measure of dependence between two paired random vectors or matrices of arbitrary, not necessarily equal, dimensions. Unlike Pearson correlation, the population distance correlation coefficient is zero if and only…
We discuss the relationship between the capacity and the geometry for the range of the random walk for $d=3$. In particular, we consider how efficiently the random walk moves or what shape it forms in order to maximize its capacity. In one…
We study the properties of random walks on complex trees. We observe that the absence of loops reflects in physical observables showing large differences with respect to their looped counterparts. First, both the vertex discovery rate and…
We study Markov chains on a lattice in a codimension-one stratified independent random environment, exploiting results established in [2]. First of all the random walk is transient in dimension at least three. Focusing on dimension two,…
In this article, we study a branching random walk in an environment which depends on the time. This time-inhomogeneous environment consists of a sequence of macroscopic time intervals, in each of which the law of reproduction remains…
We study the asymptotic behavior of zero-drift random walks confined to multidimensional convex cones, when the endpoint is close to the boundary. We derive a local limit theorem in the fluctuation regime.
Two-dimensional $CP^{N-1}$ models are investigated by Monte Carlo methods on the lattice, for values of $N$ ranging from 2 to 21. Scaling and rotation invariance are studied by comparing different definitions of correlation length $\xi$.…
We consider the hyperuniform model of d-dimensional integer lattice perturbed by independent random variables and we investigate the large scale asymptotic fluctuations of smoothed versions of the usual counting statistics, specifically of…
In this paper, we prove a conditional limit theorem for independent not necessarily identically distributed random variables. Namely, we obtain the asymptotic distribution of a large number of them given the sum.
If the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ are totally ordered, a simple path whose edges are in ascending order is called increasing. The worst-case length of the longest increasing path has remained an open problem for several decades, with…
We study non-compact scaling limits of uniform random planar quadrangulations with a boundary when their size tends to infinity. Depending on the asymptotic behavior of the boundary size and the choice of the scaling factor, we observe…
We study the statistics of quantum transmission through a one-dimensional disordered system modelled by a sequence of independent scattering units. Each unit is characterized by its length and by its action, which is proportional to the…
We focus on two models of nearest-neighbour random walks on d-dimensional regular hyper-cubic lattices that are usually assumed to be identical - the discrete-time Polya walk, in which the walker steps at each integer moment of time, and…
Following our previous work on copula-based nonsymmetric dependence measures, we introduce similar measures for discrete random variables. The measures cover the range between two extremes: independence and complete dependence, which take…
Let $p\_n$ be the probability for a planar Poisson-Voronoi cell to have exactly $n$ sides. We construct the asymptotic expansion of $\log p\_n$ up to terms that vanish as $n\to\infty$. We show that {\it two independent biased random walks}…
We investigate the behavior of the periods and border lengths of random words over a fixed alphabet. We show that the asymptotic probability that a random word has a given maximal border length $k$ is a constant, depending only on $k$ and…
We revisit the problem of influencing the sex ratio of a population by subjecting reproduction of each family to some stopping rule. As an easy consequence of the strong law of large numbers, no such modification is possible in the sense…
