Convergence of order $O(1/\sqrt{n})$ is obtained for the distance in total variation between the Poisson distribution and the distribution of the number of fixed size cycles in generalized random graphs with random vertex weights. The…

In this paper, we deal with the question; under what conditions the points $P_i(xi,yi)$ $(i = 1,\cdots, n)$ form a convex polygon provided $x_1 < \cdots < x_n$ holds. One of the main findings of the paper can be stated as follows: "Let…

In this paper we give a precise estimate of the discrepancy of a class of uniformly distributed sequences of partitions. Among them we found a large class having low discrepancy (which means of order 1/N. One of them is the…

Let $X=\{X_j , j\ge 1\}$ be a sequence of independent, square integrable variables taking values in a common lattice $\mathcal L(v_{ 0},D )= \{v_{ k}=v_{ 0}+D k , k\in \Z\}$. Let $S_n=X_1+\ldots +X_n$, $a_n= {\mathbb E\,} S_n$, and…

Let $Y=(y_1,y_2,...)$, $y_1\ge y_2\ge...$, be the list of sizes of the cycles in the composition of $c n$ transpositions on the set $\{1,2,...,n\}$. We prove that if $c>1/2$ is constant and $n\to\infty$, the distribution of $f(c)Y/n$…

Consider the family of power divergence statistics based on $n$ trials, each leading to one of $r$ possible outcomes. This includes the log-likelihood ratio and Pearson's statistic as important special cases. It is known that in certain…

The Gaussian Correlation Conjecture states that for any two symmetric, convex sets in n-dimensional space and for any centered, Gaussian measure on that space, the measure of the intersection is greater than or equal to the product of the…

The unitary correlation sets defined by the first author in conjunction with tensor products of $\mathcal{U}_{nc}(n)$ are further studied. We show that Connes' embedding problem is equivalent to deciding whether or not two smaller versions…

In this paper we show that for some constant $c>0$ and for any $A>0$ there exist some $x(A)>0$ such that, If $q\leq (\log x)^{A}$ then we have \begin{align} \Psi_z(x;\mathcal{N}_q(a,b),q) &= \frac{\Theta (z)}{2\phi(q)}x +…

An important result of H. Weyl states that for every sequence $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n \geq 1}$ of distinct positive integers the sequence of fractional parts of $\left(a_{n} \alpha \right)_{n\geq 1}$ is uniformly distributed modulo one for…

Let $\{H_{n,m}\}_{n,m\in \mathbb{N}}$ be the two dimensional Haar system and $S_{n,m}f$ be the rectangular partial sums of its Fourier series with respect to some $f\in L^1([0,1)^2)$. Let $\mathcal{N}, \mathcal{M}\subset \mathbb{N}$ be two…

Let $X$ be an $n$-element set. A set-pair system $\mbox{$\cal P$}=\{(A_i,B_i)\}_{1\leq i\leq m}$ is a collection of pairs of disjoint subsets of $X$. It is called skew Bollob\'as system if $A_i\cap B_j\neq \emptyset$ for all $1\leq i<j \leq…

Let $x \in \mathbb{R}$ be arbitrary and consider the `greedy' approximation of $x$ by signed harmonic sums: given $a_n = \sum_{k \leq n} \varepsilon_k/k$ with $\varepsilon_k \in \left\{-1,1\right\}$, we set $\varepsilon_{n+1} = 1$ if $a_n…

Assume that a convergent series of real numbers $\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ has the property that there exists a set $A\subseteq \N$ such that the series $\sum\limits_{n \in A} a_n$ is conditionally convergent. We prove that for a given…

Considered is the distribution of the crosscorrelation between $m$-sequences of length $2^m-1$, where $m=2k$, and $m$-sequences of shorter length $2^k-1$. New pairs of $m$-sequences with three-valued crosscorrelation are found and the…

For $p \in (0,1)$, sample a binary sequence from the infinite product measure of Bernoulli$(p)$ distributions. It is known that for $p=1/2$, almost every binary sequence is Poisson generic in the sense of Peres and Weiss, a property that…

We prove that if $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq 2$) is a Lebesgue-measurable set with density larger than $\frac{n-2}{n-1}$, then $E$ contains similar copies of every $n$-point set $P$ at all sufficiently large scales. Moreover,…

Poisson-like behavior for event count data is ubiquitous in nature. At the same time, differencing of such counts arises in the course of data processing in a variety of areas of application. As a result, the Skellam distribution -- defined…

We revisit classic balancing problems for linear extensions of a partially ordered set $P$, proving results that go far beyond many of the best earlier results on this topic. For example, with $p(x\prec y)$ the probability that $x$ precedes…
