We consider the Dickman function $\Psi (x,y)$ in the limit when $\ln x/\ln y\to \infty $ and $\ln \ln x \ln y\to 0$. The asymptotic value is expressed in terms of the ratio of iterated loragithm of $x$ and $ln y$.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are a powerful tool for statistical text analysis, with derived sequences of next-token probability distributions offering a wealth of information. Extracting this signal typically relies on metrics such as…

We present an algorithmic approach to estimate the value distributions of random variables of probabilistic loops whose statistical moments are (partially) known. Based on these moments, we apply two statistical methods, Maximum Entropy and…
