We study an information analogue of infinitely divisible probability distributions, where the i.i.d. sum is replaced by the joint distribution of an i.i.d. sequence. A random variable $X$ is called informationally infinitely divisible if,…

The one-dimensional Dickman distribution arises in various stochastic models across number theory, combinatorics, physics, and biology. Recently, a definition of the multidimensional Dickman distribution has appeared in the literature,…

An essential character for a distribution to play a central role in the limit theory is infinite divisibility. In this note, we prove that the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson (CMP) distribution is infinitely divisible iff it is the Poisson or…

We establish a one-to-one correspondence between (i) exchangeable sequences of random variables whose finite-dimensional distributions are minimum (or maximum) infinitely divisible and (ii) non-negative, non-decreasing, infinitely divisible…

This paper studies new classes of infinitely divisible distributions on R^d. Firstly, the connecting classes with a continuous parameter between the Jurek class and the class of selfdecomposable distributions are revisited. Secondly, the…

We show that the Conway--Maxwell--Poisson distribution can be arbitrarily underdispersed when parametrized via its mean. More precisely, if the mean $\mu$ is an integer then the limiting distribution is a unit probability mass at $\mu$. If…

We prove existence of (at most denumerable many) absolutely continuous invariant probability measures for random one-dimensional dynamical systems with asymptotic expansion. If the rate of expansion (Lyapunov exponents) is bounded away from…

Unimodal univariate distributions can be characterized as piecewise convex-concave cumulative distribution functions. In this note we transfer this shape constraint characterization to the quantile function. We show that this…

We present a novel approach to estimating discrete distributions with (potentially) infinite support in the total variation metric. In a departure from the established paradigm, we make no structural assumptions whatsoever on the sampling…

Let $B$ be a finite, separable von Neumann algebra. We prove that a $B$-valued distribution $\mu$ that is the weak limit of an infinitesimal array is infinitely divisible. The proof of this theorem utilizes the Steinitz lemma and may be…

`Distribution regression' refers to the situation where a response Y depends on a covariate P where P is a probability distribution. The model is Y=f(P) + mu where f is an unknown regression function and mu is a random error. Typically, we…

We present a theory of well-posedness and a priori estimates for bounded distributional (or very weak) solutions of $$\partial_tu-\mathfrak{L}^{\sigma,\mu}[\varphi(u)]=g(x,t)\quad\quad\text{in}\quad\quad \mathbb{R}^N\times(0,T),$$ where…

We prove that symmetric Meixner distributions, whose probability densities are proportional to $|\Gamma(t+ix)|^2$, are freely infinitely divisible for $0<t\leq\frac{1}{2}$. The case $t=\frac{1}{2}$ corresponds to the law of L\'evy's…

The main aim of this article is to give an exposition of weak convergence, Prohorov theorem and Prohorov spaces. In this context we study the relationship between Levy distance $\ell(F, G)$ between two distribution functions $F$ and $G$ and…

We characterize the asymptotic performance of a class of positive operator valued measurements (POVMs) where the only task is to make measurements on independent and identically distributed quantum states on finite-dimensional systems. The…

The paper deals with studying a connection of the Littlewood--Offord problem with estimating the concentration functions of some symmetric infinitely divisible distributions. It is shown that the values at zero of the concentration…

Consider the random matrix $\Sigma = D^{1/2} X \widetilde D^{1/2}$ where $D$ and $\widetilde D$ are deterministic Hermitian nonnegative matrices with respective dimensions $N \times N$ and $n \times n$, and where $X$ is a random matrix with…

Suppose some random resource (energy, mass or space) $\chi \geq 0$ is to be shared at random between (possibly infinitely many) species (atoms or fragments). Assume ${\Bbb E}\chi =\theta <\infty $ and suppose the amount of the individual…
