We consider infinitely divisible distributions with symmetric L\'evy measure and study the absolute continuity of them with respect to the Lebesgue measure. We prove that if $\eta(r)=\int_{|x|\le r} x^2 \nu(dx)$ where $\nu$ is the L\'evy…

Constrained quantization for a Borel probability measure refers to the idea of estimating a given probability by a discrete probability with a finite number of supporting points lying on a specific set. The specific set is known as the…

We introduce a new information-theoretic formulation of quantum measurement uncertainty relations, based on the notion of relative entropy between measurement probabilities. In the case of a finite-dimensional system and for any approximate…

Every symbolic system supports a Borel measure that is invariant under the shift, but it is not known if every such systems supports a measure that is invariant under all of its automorphisms; known as a characteristic measure. We give…

We prove general results about separation and weak$^\#$-convergence of boundedly finite measures on separable metric spaces and Souslin spaces. More precisely, we consider an algebra of bounded real-valued, or more generally a $*$-algebra…

We discuss two ways to construct standard probability measures, called push-down measures, from internal probability measures. We show that the Wasserstein distance between an internal probability measure and its push-down measure is…

A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s states that for any infinite set $A \subseteq \mathbb R$, there exists $E \subseteq \mathbb R$ of positive Lebesgue measure that does not contain any nontrivial affine copy of $A$. The conjecture remains open for…

Let $(X,\mu)$ be a standard probability space. An automorphism $T$ of $(X,\mu)$ has the weak Pinsker property if for every $\varepsilon > 0$ it has a splitting into a direct product of a Bernoulli shift and an automorphism of entropy less…

A new upper bound on the relative entropy is derived as a function of the total variation distance for probability measures defined on a common finite alphabet. The bound improves a previously reported bound by Csisz\'ar and Talata. It is…

We quantify the elementary Borel-Cantelli Lemma by higher moments of the overlap count statistic in terms of the weighted summability of the probabilities. Applications include mean deviation frequencies in the Strong Law and the Law of the…

We prove that for every $\epsilon\in (0,1)$ there exists $C_\epsilon\in (0,\infty)$ with the following property. If $(X,d)$ is a compact metric space and $\mu$ is a Borel probability measure on $X$ then there exists a compact subset…

A classical result of Arne Beurling states that the Fourier transform of a nonzero complex Borel measure $\mu$ on the real line cannot vanish on a set of positive Lebesgue measure if $\mu$ has certain decay. We prove a several variable…

New upper bounds on the relative entropy are derived as a function of the total variation distance. One bound refines an inequality by Verd\'{u} for general probability measures. A second bound improves the tightness of an inequality by…

In [6], a constraint on invariant measures of bi-permutative cellular automata has been observed: fixed values at the positive indices determine almost-surely a uniform conditional probability on the subset of values of positive conditional…

For a sequence of nonnegative random variables, we provide simple necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure that each sequence of its forward convex combinations converges in probability to the same limit. These conditions correspond to…

A real number $x$ is normal with respect to an integer base $b \geq 2$ if its digit expansion in this base is ``equitable'', in the sense that for $k \geq 1$, every ordered sequence of $k$ digits from $\{0, 1, \ldots, b-1\}$ occurs in the…

The present paper establishes the first result on the absolute continuity of elliptic measure with respect to the Lebesgue measure for a divergence form elliptic operator with non-smooth coefficients that have a BMO anti-symmetric part. In…

Let $\{f_i\}_{i=1}^N$ be a set of equi-contractive similitudes on $\mathbb{R}^1$ satisfying the finite-type condition. We study the asymptotic quantization error for self-similar measures $\mu$ associated with $\{f_i\}_{i=1}^N$ and a…

A recent conjecture by C. Carlet on the sum-freedom of the binary multiplicative inverse function can be stated as follows: For each pair of positive integers $(n,k)$ with $3\le k\le n-3$, there is a $k$-dimensional $\Bbb F_2$-subspace $E$…

For an array $\left\{X_{n,j}, \, 1 \leqslant j \leqslant k_{n}, n \geqslant 1 \right\}$ of random variables and a sequence $\{c_{n} \}$ of positive numbers, sufficient conditions are given under which, for all $\varepsilon > 0$,…
