The goal of this expository article is a fairly self-contained account of some averaging processes of functions along sequences of the form $(\alpha^n x)^{}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $\alpha$ is a fixed real number with $| \alpha | > 1$ and…

Let $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ be a finite chain and let $\mathcal{P}_{n}$ be the semigroup of partial transformations on $[n]$. Let $\mathcal{CP}_{n}=\{\alpha\in \mathcal{P}_{n}: (for ~all~x,y\in Dom~\alpha)~|x\alpha-y\alpha|\leq|x-y|\}$ be…

Let a sequence $(P_n)$ of polynomials in one complex variable satisfy a recurre ce relation with length growing slowlier than linearly. It is shown that $(P_n) $ is an orthonormal basis in $L^2_{\mu}$ for some measure $\mu$ on $\C$, if and…

The famous Posa conjecture states that every graph of minimum degree at least 2n/3 contains the square of a Hamilton cycle. This has been proved for large n by Koml\'os, Sark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi. Here we prove that if p > n^{-1/2+\eps},…

Neither the Euler-Mascheroni constant, $\gamma=0.577215\ldots$, nor the Euler-Gompertz constant, $\delta=0.596347\ldots$, is currently known to be irrational. However, it has been proved that these two numbers are disjunctively…

Let $1<p<\infty$. Let $\{T_t\}_{t>0}$ be a noncommutative symmetric diffusion semigroup on a semifinite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$, and let $\{P_t\}_{t>0}$ be its associated subordinated Poisson semigroup. The celebrated…

A scaling on some space is a measurable action of the group of positive real numbers. A measure on a measurable space equipped with a scaling is said to be $\alpha$-homogeneous for some nonzero real number $\alpha$ if the mass of any…

Let X_n=(x_{ij}) be an n by p data matrix, where the n rows form a random sample of size n from a certain p-dimensional population distribution. Let R_n=(\rho_{ij}) be the p\times p sample correlation matrix of X_n; that is, the entry…

It was shown recently that associated with a pair of real sequences $\{\{c_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}, \{d_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}\}$, with $\{d_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ a positive chain sequence, there exists a unique nontrivial probability measure…

In this paper, we prove that the discrete Copson inequality (E.T. Copson, \emph{Notes on a series of positive terms}, J. London Math. Soc., 2 (1927), 49-51) of one-dimension in general cases admits an improvement. In fact we study the…

We study the relationship between two measures of pseudorandomness for families of binary sequences: family complexity and cross-correlation measure introduced by Ahlswede et al.\ in 2003 and recently by Gyarmati et al., respectively. More…

We consider Ewens random permutations of length $n$ conditioned to have no cycle longer than $n^\beta$ with $0<\beta<1$ and to study the asymptotic behaviour as $n\to\infty$. We obtain very precise information on the joint distribution of…

We demonstrate that two approximations to the chi^2 statistic as popularly employed by observational astronomers for fitting Poisson-distributed data can give rise to intrinsically biased model parameter estimates, even in the high counts…

We prove a parametric generalization of the classical Poincare-Perron theorem on stabilizing recurrence relations where we assume that the varying coefficients of a recurrence depend on auxiliary parameters and converge uniformly in these…

For each $n=0,1,2,\ldots$, the central trinomial coefficient $T_n$ is the coefficient of $x^n$ in the expansion of $(x^2+x+1)^n$. Let $p>3$ be a prime, and let $n$ be any positive integer. In 2016, the second author conjectured that the…

Pearson's correlation is an important summary measure of the amount of dependence between two variables. It is natural to want to generalise the concept of correlation as a single number that measures the inter-relatedness of three or more…

Koksma's equidistribution theorem from 1935 states that for Lebesgue almost every $\alpha>1$, the fractional parts of the geometric progression $(\alpha^{n})_{n\geq1}$ are equidistributed modulo one. In the present paper we sharpen this…

Let $(P,\leq)$ be a finite poset (partially ordered set), where $P$ has cardinality $n$. Consider linear extensions of $P$ as permutations $x_1x_2\cdots x_n$ in one-line notation. For distinct elements $x,y\in P$, we define…

Let $\gamma_{n}= O (\log^{-c}n)$ and let $\nu$ be the infinite product measure whose $n$-th marginal is Bernoulli$(1/2+\gamma_{n})$. We show that $c=1/2$ is the threshold, above which $\nu$-almost every point is simply Poisson generic in…

We show that for many families of OPUC, one has $||\varphi'_n||_2/n -> 1$, a condition we call normal behavior. We prove that this implies $|\alpha_n| -> 0$ and that it holds if the sequence $\alpha_n$ is in $\ell^1$. We also prove it is…
