The NC-proximal average is a parametrized function used to continuously transform one proper, lsc, prox-bounded function into another. Until now, it has been defined for two functions. The purpose of this article is to redefine it so that…

We consider the invariant measure of a homogeneous continuous- time Markov process in the quarter-plane. The basic solutions of the global balance equation are the geometric distributions. We first show that the invariant measure can not be…

We extend a result by Ikeda and Suriajaya (2025) to find the asymptotic behaviour of the average number of representations of an integer $n$, over multiples of a fixed $q\ge 2$, as a sum of two prime $k$-th powers, for $k\ge 2$.

Although the categorical arithmetic is not effectively axiomatizable, the belief that the incompleteness Theorems can be apply to it is fairly common. Furthermore, the so-called "essential" (or "inherent") semantic incompleteness of the…

Many statistical settings call for estimating a population parameter, most typically the population mean, based on a sample of matrices. The most natural estimate of the population mean is the arithmetic mean, but there are many other…

Modeling has become a widespread, useful tool in mathematics applied to diverse fields, from physics to economics to biomedicine. Practitioners of modeling may use algebraic or differential equations, to the elements of which they attribute…

The concentration of measure prenomenon roughly states that, if a set $A$ in a product $\Omega^N$ of probability spaces has measure at least one half, ``most'' of the points of $\Omega^N$ are ``close'' to $A$. We proceed to a systematic…

In the paper, the authors establish, by using Cauchy integral formula in the theory of complex functions, an integral representation for the geometric mean of $n$ positive numbers. From this integral representation, the geometric mean is…

In classical stochastic theory, the joint probability distributions of a stochastic process obey by definition the Kolmogorov consistency conditions. Interpreting such a process as a sequence of physical measurements with probabilistic…

The concept of typicality refers to properties holding for the "overwhelming majority" of cases and is a fundamental idea of the qualitative approach to dynamical problems. We argue that measure-theoretical typicality would be the adequate…

We introduce the notion of a probabilistic measure which takes values in hyperbolic numbers and which satisfies the system of axioms generalizing directly Kolmogorov's system of axioms. We show that this new measure verifies the usual…

The homogeneous transform has many practical applications outside the realm of mathematics, for instance to represent the proportions of several chemical substances. We aim here to present results about the transformation of measures, which…

"Clarithmetic" is a generic name for formal number theories similar to Peano arithmetic, but based on computability logic (see http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~giorgi/cl.html) instead of the more traditional classical or intuitionistic logics.…

Assume that several competing methods are available to estimate a parameter in a given statistical model. The aim of estimator averaging is to provide a new estimator, built as a linear combination of the initial estimators, that achieves…

We establish results with an arithmetic flavor that generalize the polynomial multidimensional Szemeredi theorem and related multiple recurrence and convergence results in ergodic theory. For instance, we show that in all these statements…

We consider weighted averages of the number of representations of an even integer as a sum of two prime numbers, where each summand lies in a given arithmetic progression modulo a common integer $q$. Our result is uniform in a suitable…

Kolmogorov's foundation of probability takes measure spaces, $\sigma$-algebras, and probability measures as basic objects. It is, however, widely recognized that this classical framework is inadequate for random phenomena involving quantum…
