Recent works have shown that the family of probability distributions with moments given by the Fuss-Catalan numbers permit a simple parameterized form for their density. We extend this result to the Raney distribution which by definition…
The two-dimensional moment problem consists of finding a positive Borel measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ such that $\int_{\mathbb{R}^2} t_1^m t_2^n d\mu = s_{m,n}$, $m,n=0,1,2,...$, where $s_{m,n}$ are prescribed real constants (moments). We…
This paper is devoted to the study of $\Phi$-moments of sums of independent/freely independent random variables. More precisely, let $(f_k)_{k=1}^n$ be a sequence of positive (symmetrically distributed) independent random variables and let…
Some important problems (e.g., in optimal transport and optimal control) have a relaxed (or weak) formulation in a space of appropriate measures whichis much easier to solve. However, an optimal solution $\mu$ of the latter solves the…
We study a class of kinetic-type differential equations $\partial \phi_t/\partial t+\phi_t=\widehat{\mathcal{Q}}\phi_t$, where $\widehat{\mathcal{Q}}$ is an inhomogeneous smoothing transform and, for every $t\geq 0$, $\phi_t$ is the…
Moment matching is an easy-to-implement and usually effective method to reduce variance of Monte Carlo simulation estimates. On the other hand, there is no guarantee that moment matching will always reduce simulation variance for general…
There is undetermined potential function $V(\phi)$ in the action of mimetic gravity which should be resolved through physical means. In general relativity(GR), the static spherically symmetric(SSS) solution to the Einstein equation is a…
Generalized and Simulated Method of Moments are often used to estimate structural Economic models. Yet, it is commonly reported that optimization is challenging because the corresponding objective function is non-convex. For smooth…
This German paper discusses certain aspects of the non-degenerate case of truncated matricial moment problems on the intervals [$\alpha$,$\infty$) and (-$\infty$,\alpha] for any real number $\alpha$.
We employ some results about continued fraction expansions of Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions to characterize the spectral data of generalized indefinite strings of Stieltjes type. In particular, this solves the corresponding inverse spectral…
We summarize significant classical results on (in)determinacy of measures in terms of their finite positive integer order moments. Well-known is the role of the smallest eigenvalues of Hankel matrices, starting from Hamburger's results a…
Stieltjes boundary problems generalize the customary class of well-posed two-point boundary value problems in three independent directions, regarding the specification of the boundary conditions: (1) They allow more than two evaluation…
We prove new results on the existence of positive solutions for some impulsive differential equation subject to nonlocal boundary conditions. Our boundary conditions involve an affine functional given by a Stieltjes integral. These cover…
In this paper, we establish smoothness of moments of the solutions of discrete coagulation-diffusion systems. As key assumptions, we suppose that the coagulation coefficients grow at most sub-linearly and that the diffusion coefficients…
Many stochastic differential equations (SDEs) in the literature have a superlinearly growing nonlinearity in their drift or diffusion coefficient. Unfortunately, moments of the computationally efficient Euler-Maruyama approximation method…
We consider the Stieltjes moment problem for the Berg-Urbanik semigroups which form a class of multiplicative convolution semigroups on $\mathbb{R}_+$ that is in bijection with the set of Bernstein functions. Berg and Dur\'an proved that…
One of the ways to characterize a probability distribution is to show that it is moment-determinate, uniquely determined by knowing all its moments. The uniqueness, in the absolutely continuous case, depends entirely on the behaviour of the…
The nonlinear eigen-problem $ Ax+F(x)=\lambda x$ is studied where $A$ is an $n\times n$ irreducible Stieltjes matrix. Under certain conditions, this problem has a unique positive solution. We show that, starting from a multiple of the…
The non-monotonic propagation of fronts is considered. When the speed function $F:\mathbb{R}^{n} \times [0,T]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is prescribed, the non-linear advection equation $\phi_{t}+F|\nabla \phi|=0$ is a Hamilton-Jacobi equation…
This paper is concerned with the construction of positive definite functions on a cartesian product of quasi-metric spaces using generalized Stieltjes and complete Bernstein functions. The results we prove are aligned with a…
