A collector samples coupons with replacement from a pool containing $g$ \textit{uniform} groups of coupons, where "uniform group" means that all coupons in the group are equally likely to occur. For each $j = 1, \dots, g$ let $T_j$ be the…

We consider a random interval splitting process, in which the splitting rule depends on the empirical distribution of interval lengths. We show that this empirical distribution converges to a limit almost surely as the number of intervals…

We consider a limit theorem for a triangular array of point processes generated by non-identically distributed random variables, and apply the result for the analysis of the limiting behavior of the Argmaximum of independent random…

We prove a sequence of limiting results about weakly dependent stationary and regularly varying stochastic processes in discrete time. After deducing the limiting distribution for individual clusters of extremes, we present a new type of…

We prove distributional limit theorems and one-sided laws of the iterated logarithm for a class of positive, mixing, stationary, stochastic processes which contains those obtained from non-integrable observables over certain piecewise…

We study the two-player coupon-collector competition in which two independent collectors draw one coupon each per round from a set of $d$ equally likely coupon types. Myers and Wilf gave finite formulae for several two-player events and…

Simple random coverage models, well studied in Euclidean space, can also be defined on a general compact metric space. By analogy with the geometric models, and with the discrete coupon collector's problem and with cover times for finite…

This paper studies an open question in the warehouse problem where a merchant trading a commodity tries to find an optimal inventory-trading policy to decide on purchase and sale quantities during a fixed time horizon in order to maximize…

We study how efficiently a $k$-element set $S\subseteq[n]$ can be learned from a uniform superposition $|S\rangle$ of its elements. One can think of $|S\rangle=\sum_{i\in S}|i\rangle/\sqrt{|S|}$ as the quantum version of a uniformly random…

For a class of random partitions of an infinite set a de Finetti-type representation is derived, and in one special case a central limit theorem for the number of blocks is shown.

The discounted central limit theorem concerns the convergence of an infinite discounted sum of i.i.d. random variables to normality as the discount factor approaches $1$. We show that, using the Fourier metric on probability distributions,…

A Central Limit Theorem is proved for linear random fields when sums are taken over finite disjoint union of rectangles. The approach does not rely upon the use of Beveridge Nelson decomposition and the conditions needed are similar to…

Define the non-overlapping return time of a random process to be the number of blocks that we wait before a particular block reappears. We prove a Central Limit Theorem based on these return times. This result has applications to entropy…
