Let $E = \cup_{j = 1}^l [a_{2j-1},a_{2j}],$ $a_1 < a_2 < ... < a_{2l},$ $l \geq 2$ and set ${\boldmath$\omega$}(\infty) =(\omega_1(\infty),...,\omega_{l-1}(\infty))$, where $\omega_j(\infty)$ is the harmonic measure of $[a_{2 j - 1}, a_{2…

Affinity has proven to be a useful tool for quantifying the non-equilibrium character of time continuous Markov processes since it serves as a measure for the breaking of time reversal symmetry. It has recently been conjectured that the…

Consider $n$ linearly independent vectors in $\mathbb{C}^n$ which form columns of a matrix $A$. The recursive evaluation of eigen directions (normalized eigenvectors) of $A$ is the solution of an eigenvalue problem of the form…

A locally finite multiset $(\Lambda,c),$ $\Lambda \subset \mathbb R^n, c : \Lambda \rightarrow \{1,...,b\}$ defines a Radon measure $\mu := \sum_{\lambda \in \Lambda} c(\lambda)\, \delta_\lambda$ that is Bohr almost periodic in the sense of…

We consider (max,+)-algebra products of random matrices, which arise from performance evaluation of acyclic fork-join queueing networks. A new algebraic technique to examine properties of the product and investigate its limiting behaviour…

We study generalizations of the Schr\"odinger problem in statistical mechanics in two directions: when the density is constrained at more than two times, and when the joint law of the initial and final positions for the particles is…

We consider a stochastically continuous, affine Markov process in the sense of Duffie, Filipovic and Schachermayer, with cadlag paths, on a general state space D, i.e. an arbitrary Borel subset of R^d. We show that such a process is always…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the spectra of matrices of the form $S_n = \frac{1}{n}XX^*$ where $X =\sum_{r=1}^K X_r$, where $X_r = A_r^\frac{1}{2}Z_rB_r^\frac{1}{2}$, $K \in \mathbb{N}$ and $A_r,B_r$ are sequences of positive…

A transition matrix $[U_{i,j}]_{i,j\geq 0}$ on $\mathbb{N}$ is said to be almost upper triangular if $U_{i,j}\geq 0\Rightarrow j\geq i-1$, so that the increments of the corresponding Markov chains are at least $-1$; a transition matrix…

We consider the recursive equation ``x(n+1)=A(n)x(n)'' where x(n+1) and x(n) are column vectors of size k and where A(n) is an irreducible random matrix of size k x k. The matrix-vector multiplication in the (max,+) algebra is defined by…

We consider a super-Brownian motion $\{X_t, t\geq 0\}$ in a random environment described by a centered Gaussian field $\{W(t,x),t\geq 0, x\in\mathbb{R}^d\}$ whose correlation function is given by $\mathcal{C} (x,y)(t \wedge s)$. The process…

We construct explicit invariant measures for a family of infinite products of random, independent, identically-distributed elements of SL(2,C). The matrices in the product are such that one entry is gamma-distributed along a ray in the…

We study the recurrence/transience phase transition for Markov chains on $\mathbb{R}_+$, $\mathbb{R}$, and $\mathbb{R}^2$ whose increments have heavy tails with exponent in $(1,2)$ and asymptotically zero mean. This is the infinite-variance…

Motivated by practical concerns in cryptography, we study pseudorandomness properties of permutations on $\{0,1\}^n$ computed by random circuits made from reversible $3$-bit gates (permutations on $\{0,1\}^3$). Our main result is that a…

We identify a set of sufficient local conditions under which a significant portion of a Radon measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with compact support can be covered by an $n$-uniformly rectifiable set at the level of a ball $B\subset…

We address the detection of a low rank $n\times n$deterministic matrix $\mathbf{X}_{0}$ from the noisy observation ${\bf X}_{0}+{\bf Z}$ when $n\to\infty$, where ${\bf Z}$ is a complex Gaussian random matrix with independent identically…

Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda<G$ a lattice and $H<G$ a connected semisimple subgroup without compact factors and with finite center. We define the notion of $H$-expanding measures $\mu$ on $H$ and, applying recent work of…

We derive a generalization of the Perron-Frobenius theorem to time-varying row-stochastic matrices as follows: using Kolmogorov's concept of absolute probability sequences, which are time-varying analogs of principal eigenvectors, we…

A spectral Favard theorem for bounded banded lower Hessenberg matrices that admit a positive bidiagonal factorization is found. The large knowledge on the spectral and factorization properties of oscillatory matrices leads to this spectral…
