During the Conference on Ulam's Type Stability (Rytro, Poland, 2014), Ioan Rasa recalled his 25-years-old problem concerning some inequality involving the Bernstein polynomials. We offer the complete solution (in positive). As a~tool we use…

An optimal bound on the quantiles of a certain kind of distributions is given. Such a bound is used in applications to Berry--Esseen-type bounds for nonlinear statistics.

In a high temperature regime, it was shown in Trinh--Trinh (\emph{J.\ Stat.\ Phys.}\ \textbf{185}(1), Paper No.\ 4, 15 (2021)) that the empirical distribution of beta Jacobi ensembles converges to a limiting probability measure which is…

We obtain the optimal proxy variance for the sub-Gaussianity of Beta distribution, thus proving upper bounds recently conjectured by Elder (2016). We provide different proof techniques for the symmetrical (around its mean) case and the…

Sums of independent, bounded random variables concentrate around their expectation approximately as well a Gaussian of the same variance. Well known results of this form include the Bernstein, Hoeffding, and Chernoff inequalities and many…

We propose a novel coupling inequality of the min-max type for two random matrices with finite absolute third moments, which generalizes the quantitative versions of the well-known inequalities by Gordon. Previous results have calculated…

In this short article we present new results that bring about hitherto unknown relations between certain Bernstein diffusions wandering in bounded convex domains of Euclidean space on the one hand, and processes which typically occur in…

We provide a general bound on the Wasserstein distance between two arbitrary distributions of sequences of Bernoulli random variables. The bound is in terms of a mixing quantity for the Glauber dynamics of one of the sequences, and a simple…
