We study a general class of birth-and-death processes with state space $\mathbb{N}$ that describes the size of a population going to extinction with probability one. This class contains the logistic case. The scale of the population is…

Using a diagrammatic reformulation of Bayes' theorem, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Bayesian inference in the setting of finite-dimensional $C^*$-algebras. In other words, we prove an analogue of…

A correction is brought to the opinion expressed in a previous note published in this journal that the off critical line points indicated by some authors as being non trivial zeros of the Davenport and Heilbronn function are affected of…

We present a new type of counterexample to the Nelson-Seiberg theorem. It is a generic R-symmetric Wess-Zumino model with nine chiral superfields, including one field of R-charge 2 and no R-charge 0 field. As in previous counterexamples,…

I develop the decision-theoretic approach to quantum probability, originally proposed by David Deutsch, into a mathematically rigorous proof of the Born rule in (Everett-interpreted) quantum mechanics. I sketch the argument informally, then…

In [2] the author claims to provide a counterexample to a result in a recent paper [1]. In this note, we prove that the details of his example is false and this example is compatible with our result in [1] and so is not a countreexample.

Resolving a conjecture of von Neumann, Ogata's theorem in arXiv:1111.5933 showed the highly nontrivial result that arbitrarily many matrices corresponding to macroscopic observables with $N$ sites and a fixed site dimension $d$ are…

This article contains counterexamples to theorems and claims in Brams, Jones and Klamler's article "Better Ways to Cut a Cake" in the December 2006 Notices of the American Mathematical Society.

We prove under mild conditions that the Fleming-Viot process selects the minimal quasi-stationary distribution for Markov processes with soft killing on non-compact state spaces. Our results are applied to multi-dimensional birth and death…

Poisson's equation plays a fundamental role as a tool for performance evaluation and optimization of Markov chains. For continuous-time birth-death chains with possibly unbounded transition and cost rates as addressed herein, when…

We establish connections between the absorption probabilities of a class of birth-death processes with killing, and the stationary tail of a related class of birth-death processes with catastrophes. The major ingredients of the proofs are a…

Czachor's model of hierarchical arithmetics begins with a valid formal premise but fixes the key probability mapping g by importing the Born rule and Fubini-Study metric from standard quantum mechanics, where Born probabilities are…

We found a counterexample to the conjecture of Karvatskyi and Pratsiovytyi concerning the topological type of the achievement set of an intermediate series (Proceedings of the International Geometry Center, 2023.…

A quasi-entropy is constructed for tensors averaged by a density function on $SO(3)$ using the log-determinant of a covariance matrix. It serves as a substitution of the entropy for tensors derived from a constrained minimization that…

By a [$K$-]approximate subring of a ring we mean an additively symmetric subset $X$ such that $X \cdot X \cup (X + X)$ is covered by finitely many [resp.\ $K$] additive translates of $X$. We prove a structure theorem for finite approximate…

In a recent paper in the Journal of Theoretical Probability Gong, Mao and Zhang, using the theory of Dirichlet forms, extended Karlin and McGregor's classical results on first-hitting times of a birth-death process on the nonnegative…

In this paper, we give a new and short proof of a Theorem on k-hypertournament losing scores due to Zhou et al.[7].

In this note we give a counterexample to a conjecture proposed by Ciliberto about special linear systems of P^n through multiple base points.

In this paper, theorem 3.2 and theorem 4.1 of \"{O}z\c{c}a\u{g} and Eysen [S. \"{O}z\c{c}a\u{g} and A.E. Eysen, Almost Menger property in bitopological spaces, Ukrainian Math. J., {\bf 68}, No 6, 950-958 (2016)] are proven to be incorrect.…

A birth-death process is a continuous-time Markov chain that counts the number of particles in a system over time. In the general process with $n$ current particles, a new particle is born with instantaneous rate $\lambda_n$ and a particle…
