We study the distribution of the 'gap time', the first time that a large gap appears, in the spatial birth and death point process on $[0,1]$ in which particles are added uniformly in space at rate $\lambda$ and are removed independently at…

Motivated by monitoring the arrival of incoming adverse events such as customer support calls or crash reports from users exposed to an experimental product change, we consider sequential hypothesis testing of continuous-time inhomogeneous…

Consider the distance between two i.i.d. and independent Poisson processes with arrival rate $\lambda>0$ and respective arrival times $X_1,X_2,\dots$ and $Y_1,Y_2,\dots$ on a line. We give a closed analytical formula for the %expected…

We show that in the point process limit of the bulk eigenvalues of $\beta$-ensembles of random matrices, the probability of having no eigenvalue in a fixed interval of size $\lambda$ is given by \[\bigl(\…

Consider an inhomogeneous Poisson process and let $D$ be the first of its epochs which is followed by a gap of size $\ell>0$. We establish a criterion for $D<\infty$ a.s., as well as for $D$ being long-tailed and short-tailed, and obtain…

We study planar random motions with finite velocities, of norm $c>0$, along orthogonal directions and changing at the instants of occurrence of a non-homogeneous Poisson process with rate function $\lambda(t),\ t\ge0$. We focus on the…

For a given homogeneous Poisson point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ two points are connected by an edge if their distance is bounded by a prescribed distance parameter. The behaviour of the resulting random graph, the Gilbert graph or random…

We study point process convergence for sequences of iid random walks. The objective is to derive asymptotic theory for the extremes of these random walks. We show convergence of the maximum random walk to the Gumbel distribution under the…

We deal with a planar random flight $\{(X(t),Y(t)),0<t\leq T\}$ observed at $n+1$ equidistant times $t_i=i\Delta_n,i=0,1,...,n$. The aim of this paper is to estimate the unknown value of the parameter $\lambda$, the underlying rate of the…

For a sample of Exponentially distributed durations we aim at point estimation and a confidence interval for its parameter. A duration is only observed if it has ended within a certain time interval, determined by a Uniform distribution.…

Consider two independent Goldstein-Kac telegraph processes $X_1(t)$ and $X_2(t)$ on the real line $\Bbb R$. The processes $X_k(t), \; k=1,2,$ are performed by stochastic motions at finite constant velocities $c_1>0, \; c_2>0,$ that start at…

Original paper: We revisit the probability that any two consecutive events in a Poisson process N on [0,t] are separated by a time interval which is greater than s(<t) (a particular scan statistic probability), and the closely related…

A limit theorem for the largest interpoint distance of $p$ independent and identically distributed points in $\mathbb{R}^n$ to the Gumbel distribution is proved, where the number of points $p=p_n$ tends to infinity as the dimension of the…

We consider the Markov random flight $\bold X(t), \; t>0,$ in the three-dimensional Euclidean space $\Bbb R^3$ with constant finite speed $c>0$ and the uniform choice of the initial and each new direction at random time instants that form a…

In this paper we introduce the space-fractional Poisson process whose state probabilities $p_k^\alpha(t)$, $t>0$, $\alpha \in (0,1]$, are governed by the equations $(\mathrm d/\mathrm dt)p_k(t) = -\lambda^\alpha (1-B)p_k^\alpha(t)$, where…

A function $f=f_T$ is called least energy approximation to a function $B$ on the interval $[0,T]$ with penalty $Q$ if it solves the variational problem $$ \int_0^T \left[ f'(t)^2 + Q(f(t)-B(t)) \right] dt \searrow \min. $$ For quadratic…

The object of study is a soft random geometric graph with vertices given by a Poisson point process on a line and edges between vertices present with probability that has a polynomial decay in the distance between them. Various aspects of…

We show that, for a stationary version of Hammersley's process, with Poisson sources on the positive x-axis and Poisson sinks on the positive y-axis, the variance of the length of a longest weakly North--East path $L(t,t)$ from $(0,0)$ to…

For a Borel set $A$ and a stationary Poisson point process $\eta_t$ in $\mathbb R^d$ of intensity $t>0$, the Poisson-Delaunay approximation $ A_{\eta_t}$ of $A$ is the union of all Delaunay cells generated by $\eta_t$ with center in $A$. It…

The statistics of the slowest first-passage time among a large population of $N$ searchers is crucial for determining the completion time of many stochastic processes. Classical extreme-value theory predicts that for diffusing particles in…
