We consider a sequence of additive functionals {\phi_n}, set on a sequence of Markov chains {X_n} that weakly converges to a Markov process X. We give sufficient condition for such a sequence to converge in distribution, formulated in terms…

Chatteerjee and Diaconis have recently shown the asymptotic normality for the joint distribution of the number of descents and inverse descents in a random permutation. A noteworthy point of their results is that the asymptotic variance of…

We propose a linear independence criterion, and outline an application of it. Down to its simplest case, it aims at solving this problem: given three real numbers, typically as special values of analytic functions, how to prove that the…

A random composition of $n$ appears when the points of a random closed set $\widetilde{\mathcal{R}}\subset[0,1]$ are used to separate into blocks $n$ points sampled from the uniform distribution. We study the number of parts $K_n$ of this…

In [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 023001 (2021)] a reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT) has been proposed for calculating energies of selected eigenstates of interacting many-fermion systems. Here, we develop a solid foundation for this…

We obtain the law of large numbers (LLN) and the central limit theorem (CLT) for weakly dependent non-stationary arrays of random fields with asymptotically unbounded moments. The weak dependence condition for arrays of random fields is…

A bivariate random vector can exhibit either asymptotic independence or dependence between the largest values of its components. When used as a statistical model for risk assessment in fields such as finance, insurance or meteorology, it is…

We show a new functional limit theorem for weakly dependent regularly varying sequences of random vectors. As it turns out, the convergence takes place in the space of R^d valued c\`{a}dl\`{a}g functions endowed with the so-called weak M1…

Random fields play a central role in the analysis of spatially correlated data and, as a result, have a significant impact on a broad array of scientific applications. This paper studies the cepstral random field model, providing recursive…

Let $(X_k)_{k\geq1}$ be a Gaussian long-range dependent process with $EX_1=0$, $EX_1^2=1$ and covariance function $r(k)=k^{-D}L(k)$. For any measurable function $G$ let $(Y_k)_{k\geq1}=(G(X_k))_{k\geq1}$. We study the asymptotic behaviour…

We obtain asymptotics of large Hankel determinants whose weight depends on a one-cut regular potential and any number of Fisher-Hartwig singularities. This generalises two results: 1) a result of Berestycki, Webb and Wong [5] for root-type…
