For a $\psi$-mixing process $\xi_0,\xi_1,\xi_2,...$ we consider the number $\mathcal{N}_N$ of multiple returns $\{\xi_{q_{i,N}(n)}\in\Gamma_N,\, i=1,...,\ell\}$ to a set $\Gamma_N$ for $n$ until either a fixed number $N$ or until the moment…

We consider a $\phi$-mixing shift $T$ on a sequence space $\Omega$ and study the number of returns $\{ T^k\omega\in U\}$ to a union $U$ of cylinders of length $n$ until the first return $\{ T^k\omega\in V\}$ to another union $V$ of cylinder…

We consider a $\phi$-mixing shift $T$ on a sequence space $\Om$ and study the number $\cN_N$ of returns $\{ T^{q_N(n)}\om\in A^a_n\}$ at times $q_N(n)$ to a cylinder $A^a_n$ constructed by a sequence $a\in\Om$ where $n$ runs either until a…

We prove that for any $\alpha$-mixing stationnary process the hitting time of any $n$-string $A_n$ converges, when suitably normalized, to an exponential law. We identify the normalization constant $\lambda(A_n)$. A similar statement holds…

Let $\Sigma_{A}$ be a topologically mixing shift of finite type, let $\sigma:\Sigma_{A}\to\Sigma_{A}$ be the usual left-shift, and let $\mu$ be the Gibbs measure for a H\"{o}lder continuous potential that is not cohomologous to a constant.…

The paper deals with the fast-slow motions setups in the discrete time $X^\epsilon((n+1)\epsilon)=X^\epsilon(n\epsilon)+\epsilon B(X^\epsilon(n\epsilon),\xi(n))$, $n=0,1,...,[T/\epsilon]$ and the continuous time $\frac…

Given $n$ independent random marked $d$-vectors $X_i$ with a common density, define the measure $\nu_n = \sum_i \xi_i $, where $\xi_i$ is a measure (not necessarily a point measure) determined by the (suitably rescaled) set of points near…

A classical Borel Cantelli Lemma gives conditions for deciding whether an infinite number of rare events will almost surely happen. In this article, we propose an extension of Borel Cantelli Lemma to characterize the multiple occurrence of…

We study the strong Borel-Cantelli property both for events and for shifts on sequence spaces considering both a conventional and a nonconventional setups. Namely, under certain conditions on events $\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2,...$ we show that with…

The article shows how two choices are possible whenever computing the geometric mean, and the repetition of this process can in general yield 2-to-the power N different values when the choices are compounded in the first N steps of…

Iteration of randomly chosen quadratic maps defines a Markov process: X_{n+1}=\epsilon_{n+1}X_n(1-X_n), where \epsilon_n are i.i.d. with values in the parameter space [0,4] of quadratic maps F_{\theta}(x)=\theta x(1-x). Its study is of…

Suppose $N$ independent Bernoulli trials are observed sequentially at random times of a mixed binomial process. The task is to maximise, by using a nonanticipating stopping strategy, the probability of stopping at the last success. We focus…

The purpose of this paper is to study the phenomenon of large intersections in the framework of multiple recurrence for measure-preserving actions of countable abelian groups. Among other things, we show: (1) If $G$ is a countable abelian…

We study the convergence of a random iterative sequence of a family of operators on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces, inspired by the Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) algorithm in the case of the noiseless regression, as studied in [1].…

The paper is devoted to infinite Bernoulli convolutions generated by positive multigeometric series and to probability distributions of random variables whose digits in an even integer base-$s$ expansion with two redundant digits form a…

Consider a mixing dynamical systems $([0,1], T, \mu)$, for instance a piecewise expanding interval map with a Gibbs measure $\mu$. Given a non-summable sequence $(m_k)$ of non-negative numbers, one may define $r_k (x)$ such that $\mu (B(x,…

For a probability measure preserving dynamical system $(\mathcal{X},f,\mu)$, the Poincar\'e Recurrence Theorem asserts that $\mu$-almost every orbit is recurrent with respect to its initial condition. This motivates study of the statistics…

Integer sequences where each element is determined by a previous randomly chosen element are investigated analytically. In particular, the random geometric series x_n=2x_p with 0<=p<=n-1 is studied. At large n, the moments grow…
