We consider the branching random walk on the real line where the underlying motion is of a simple random walk and branching is at least binary and at most decaying exponentially in law. It is well known that the normalized empirical measure…

In this work we study the space complexity of computable real numbers represented by fast convergent Cauchy sequences. We show the existence of families of trascendental numbers which are logspace computable, as opposed to algebraic…

This paper is an overview of the classical level crossing problem which is studied extensively in the literature and is fundamental in many branches of applied probability. We discuss a number of approximations with an emphasis on their…

Motivated by the immense success of random walk and Markov chain methods in the design of classical algorithms, we consider_quantum_ walks on graphs. We analyse in detail the behaviour of unbiased quantum walk on the line, with the example…

We give a q-analogue of Gauss' divisibility theorem

It has been established on many occasions that the set of quotients of prime numbers is dense in the set of positive real numbers. More recently, it has been proved that the set of quotients of primes in the Gaussian integers is dense in…

We study a generalization of the classical Pentagonal Number Theorem and its applications. We derive new identities for certain infinite series, recurrence relations and convolution sums for certain restricted partitions and divisor sums.…

Using a connection between the $q$-oscillator algebra and the coefficients of the high temperature expansion of the frustrated Gaussian spin model, we derive an exact formula for the number of closed random walks of given length and area,…

Gaussian processes are ubiquitous in nature and engineering. A case in point is a class of neural networks in the infinite-width limit, whose priors correspond to Gaussian processes. Here we perturbatively extend this correspondence to…

Proper continued fractions are generalized continued fractions with positive integer numerators $a_i$ and integer denominators with $b_i\geq a_i$. In this paper we study the strength of approximation of irrational numbers to their…

There are numerous ways to represent real numbers. We may use, e.g., Cauchy sequences, Dedekind cuts, numerical base-10 expansions, numerical base-2 expansions and continued fractions. If we work with full Turing computability, all these…

This paper investigates the periodic points of the Gauss type shifts associated to the even continued fraction (Schweiger) and to the backward continued fraction (R\'enyi). We show that they coincide exactly with two sets of quadratic…

We develop nonlinear renewal theorems for a perturbed random walk without assuming stochastic boundedness of centered perturbation terms. A second order expansion of the expected stopping time is obtained via the uniform integrability of…

When confined to a topological environment consisting of a cycle coupled with a half-line, quantum walks exhibit long-term statistical tendencies which differ dramatically from the tendencies of classical random walks in the same…

We apply results from Baryshnikov, Brady, Bressler and Pemantle (2008) to compute limiting probability profiles for various quantum random walks in one and two dimensions. Using analytic machinery we show some features of the limit…

We formulate and prove finite dimensional analogs for the classical Balian-Low theorem, and for a quantitative Balian-Low type theorem that, in the case of the real line, we obtained in a previous work. Moreover, we show that these results…

The continuous limit of quantum walks (QWs) on the line is revisited through a recently developed method. In all cases but one, the limit coincides with the dynamics of a Dirac fermion coupled to an artificial electric and/or relativistic…

A common theme in mathematics is the evaluation of Gauss integrals. This, coupled with the fact that they are used in different branches of science, makes the topic always actual and interesting. In these notes we shall analyze a particular…

We discuss a particular kind of quantum walk on a general graph. We affix two semi-infinite lines to a general finite graph, which we call tails. On the tails, the particle making the walk simply advances one unit at each time step, so that…
