Let $\xi_1$, $\xi_2,\ldots$ be i.i.d. random variables of zero mean and finite variance and $\eta_1$, $\eta_2,\ldots$ positive i.i.d. random variables whose distribution belongs to the domain of attraction of an $\alpha$-stable…

We study the first passage time $\tau_u = \inf \{ n \geq 1: |V_n| > u \}$ for the multivariate perpetuity sequence $V_n = Q_1 + M_1 Q_2 + \cdots + (M_1 \ldots M_{n-1}) Q_n$, where $(M_n, Q_n)$ is a sequence of independent and identically…

We consider a discrete-time $d$-dimensional process $\{\boldsymbol{X}_n\}=\{(X_{1,n},X_{2,n},...,X_{d,n})\}$ on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with a background process $\{J_n\}$ on a countable set $S_0$, where individual processes…

In this paper we discuss the asymptotic behaviour of random contractions $X=RS$, where $R$, with distribution function $F$, is a positive random variable independent of $S\in (0,1)$. Random contractions appear naturally in insurance and…

Let $\{X_1, X_2, ... \}$ be a sequence of dependent heavy-tailed random variables with distributions $F_1, F_2,...$ on $(-\infty,\infty)$, and let $\tau$ be a nonnegative integer-valued random variable independent of the sequence $\{X_k, k…

We introduce the concept of asymptotic period for an irreducible and aperiodic, discrete-time Markov chain X on a countable state space, and develop the theory leading to its formal definition. The asymptotic period of X equals one - its…

In this paper, we consider semi-Markov processes whose transition times and transition probabilities depend on a small parameter $\varepsilon$. Understanding the asymptotic behavior of such processes is needed in order to study the…

Recently, in ["The coin-turning walk and its scaling limit", Electronic Journal of Probability, 25 (2020)], the ``coin-turning walk'' was introduced on ${\mathbb Z}$. It is a non-Markovian process where the steps form a (possibly)…

We investigate the asymptotic in $N$ of the mixing times of a Markov dynamics on $N-1$ ordered particles in an interval. This dynamics consists in resampling at independent Poisson times each particle according to a probability measure on…

Suppose we are given finitely generated groups $\Gamma_1,...,\Gamma_m$ equipped with irreducible random walks. Thereby we assume that the expansions of the corresponding Green functions at their radii of convergence contain only logarithmic…

Let $X$ be the constrained random walk on ${\mathbb Z}_+^d$ representing the queue lengths of a stable Jackson network and $x$ its initial position. Let $\tau_n$ be the first time the sum of the components of $X$ equals $n$. $p_n \doteq…

We consider the simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ evolving in a random i.i.d. potential taking values in $[0,+\infty)$. The potential is not assumed integrable, and can be rescaled by a multiplicative factor $\lambda > 0$. Completing the…

We consider the problem of detecting a random walk on a graph, based on observations of the graph nodes. When visited by the walk, each node of the graph observes a signal of elevated mean, which we assume can be different across different…

For a branching process in random environment it is assumed that the offspring distribution of the individuals varies in a random fashion, independently from one generation to the other. Interestingly there is the possibility that the…

The radial probability measures on $R^p$ are in a one-to-one correspondence with probability measures on $[0,\infty[$ by taking images of measures w.r.t. the Euclidean norm mapping. For fixed $\nu\in M^1([0,\infty[)$ and each dimension p,…

In this paper, we find all possible asymptotic behaviours of the solutions of the second Painlev\'e equation $y''=2y^3+xy +\alpha$ as the parameter $\alpha\to\infty$ in the local region $x\ll\alpha^{2/3}$. We prove that these are asymptotic…

Consider a sequence of independent random isometries of Euclidean space with a previously fixed probability law. Apply these isometries successively to the origin and consider the sequence of random points that we obtain this way. We prove…

The classic arcsine law for the number $N_{n}^{>}:=n^{-1}\sum_{k=1}^{n}\mathbf{1}_{\{S_{k}>0\}}$ of positive terms, as $n\to\infty$, in an ordinary random walk $(S_{n})_{n\ge 0}$ is extended to the case when this random walk is governed by…

We introduce random walks in a sparse random environment on $\mathbb Z$ and investigate basic asymptotic properties of this model, such as recurrence-transience, asymptotic speed, and limit theorems in both the transient and recurrent…

In this paper we investigate the local limit theorem for additive functionals of nonstationary Markov chains that converge in distribution. We consider both the lattice and the non-lattice cases. The results are also new in the stationary…
