A uniformly random graph on $n$ vertices with a fixed degree sequence, obeying a $\gamma$ subpower law, is studied. It is shown that, for $\gamma>3$, in a subcritical phase with high probability the largest component size does not exceed…
Let $X_1$, $X_2$,... be a sequence of independent random variables with common distribution function $F$ in the domain of attraction of a Gumbel extreme value distribution and for each integer $n\geq 1$, let $X_{1,n} \leq ... X_{n,n}$…
A recent conjecture of Fyodorov--Hiary--Keating states that the maximum of the absolute value of the Riemann zeta function on a typical bounded interval of the critical line is $\exp\{\log \log T -\frac{3}{4}\log \log \log T+O(1)\}$, for an…
An equivalent condition for the product of elements of an independent random sample on a compact algebraic group converging in distribution to some random variable as the sample size increases is obtained. Namely, a limit distribution…
The discrete distribution of the length of longest increasing subsequences in random permutations of $n$ integers is deeply related to random matrix theory. In a seminal work, Baik, Deift and Johansson provided an asymptotics in terms of…
We give a detailed proof, in the identically distributed case, of a conjecture of Feige about the maximum probability that the sum of n independent non-negative integer valued random variables, each of mean 1, exceeds n. The general case is…

We study rooted planar random trees with a probability distribution which is proportional to a product of weight factors $w_n$ associated to the vertices of the tree and depending only on their individual degrees $n$. We focus on the case…
We investigate the statistics of trees grown from some initial tree by attaching links to preexisting vertices, with attachment probabilities depending only on the valence of these vertices. We consider the asymptotic mass distribution that…
Given a gamma population with known shape parameter $\alpha$, we develop a general theory for estimating a function $g(\cdot)$ of the scale parameter $\beta$ with bounded variance. We begin by defining a sequential sampling procedure with…
A pedagogical account of some aspects of Extreme Value Statistics (EVS) is presented from the somewhat non-standard viewpoint of Large Deviation Theory. We address the following problem: given a set of $N$ i.i.d. random variables…
We study the evolution of random graphs where edges are added one by one between pairs of weighted vertices so that resulting graphs are scale-free with the degree exponent $\gamma$. We use the branching process approach to obtain scaling…
We consider the time evolution of the supercritical Galton-Watson model of branching particles with extra parameter (mass). In the moment of the division the mass of the particle (which is growing linearly after the birth) is divided in…
We study holonomic gradient decent for maximum likelihood estimation of exponential-polynomial distribution, whose density is the exponential function of a polynomial in the random variable. We first consider the case that the support of…
For a graph G, M(G) denotes the maximum multiplicity occurring of an eigenvalue of a symmetric matrix whose zero-nonzero pattern is given by edges of G. We introduce two combinatorial graph parameters T^-(G) and T^+(G) that give a lower and…
We propose a simple model of columnar growth through {\it diffusion limited aggregation} (DLA). Consider a graph $G_N\times\N$, where the basis has $N$ vertices $G_N:=\{1,\dots,N\}$, and two vertices $(x,h)$ and $(x',h')$ are adjacent if…
We prove some uniqueness results for the Riemann zeta-function and the Euler gamma-function by virtue of shared values using the value distribution theory.
When passing from the univariate to the multivariate setting, modelling extremes becomes much more intricate. In this introductory exposition, classical multivariate extreme value theory is presented from the point of view of multivariate…
This article aims to introduced a new distribution named as extended xgamma (EXg) distribution. This generalization is derived from xgamma distribution (Xg), a special finite mixture of exponential and gamma distributions [see, Sen et al.…
