Multiple sets of synthetic spectra of OB-binary stars are used to test the suitability of disentangling for deriving accurate spectroscopic orbits. Given a set of spectra with broad phase coverage and sufficient total integration time…
An algorithm for sampling exactly from the normal distribution is given. The algorithm reads some number of uniformly distributed random digits in a given base and generates an initial portion of the representation of a normal deviate in…
In 2004, J.C. Tong found bounds for the approximation quality of a regular continued fraction convergent of a rational number, expressed in bounds for both the previous and next approximation. We sharpen his results with a geometric method…
The detection of exoplanets through direct imaging has produced numerous new positive identifications in recent years. The technique is biased towards planets at wide separations due to the difficulty in removing the stellar signature at…
We use the martingale-theoretic approach of game-theoretic probability to incorporate imprecision into the study of randomness. In particular, we define a notion of computable randomness associated with interval, rather than precise,…
In this note, we study convergence rates in the law of large numbers for independent and identically distributed random variables under sublinear expectations. We obtain a strong $L^p$-convergence version and a strongly quasi sure…
We announce a number of conjectures associated with and arising from a study of primes and irrationals in $\mathbb{R}$. All are supported by numerical verification to the extent possible.
The present paper analyzes the discrepancy of distribution of rational points on general semisimple algebraic group varieties. The results include mean-square, almost sure, and uniform discrepancy estimates with explicit error bounds, which…
Satellite conjunctions involving "near misses" of space objects are becoming increasingly likely. One approach to risk analysis for them involves the computation of the collision probability, but this has been regarded as having some…
We present a new method for detecting and correcting systematic errors in the distances to stars when both proper motions and line-of-sight velocities are available. The method, which is applicable for samples of 200 or more stars that have…
An approach is suggested defining effective sums of divergent series in the form of self-similar exponential approximants. The procedure of constructing these approximants from divergent series with arbitrary noninteger powers is developed.…
We find an asymptotic enumeration formula for the number of simple $r$-uniform hypergraphs with a given degree sequence, when the number of edges is sufficiently large. The formula is given in terms of the solution of a system of equations.…
We give some theoretical and computational results on "random" harmonic sums with prime numbers, and more generally, for integers with a fixed number of prime factors.
On a smooth variety, Serre's intersection formula computes intersection multiplicities via an alternating sum of the lengths of Tor groups. When the variety is singular, the corresponding sum can be a divergent series. But there are…
Answering an informal question of K. Park, we show that by fixing some irrational alpha to have a particular standard continued fraction expansion, we may force the associated discrepancy sequences for all x in [0,1), which track the…
The goal of this paper is to go further in the analysis of the behavior of the number of descents in a random permutation. Via two different approaches relying on a suitable martingale decomposition or on the Irwin-Hall distribution, we…
The theoretical discription of a hot star interior is obtained. It explains the distribution of stars over their masses, mass-radius-temperature and mass-luminosity dependencies. The theory of the apsidal rotation of binary stars and the…
The $L_{\infty}$ star discrepancy is a very well-studied measure used to quantify the uniformity of a point set distribution. Constructing optimal point sets for this measure is seen as a very hard problem in the discrepancy community.…
To obtain reliable results of expertise, which usually use individual and group expert pairwise comparisons, it is important to summarize (aggregate) expert estimates provided that they are sufficiently consistent. There are several ways to…
We construct the base $2$ expansion of an absolutely normal real number $x$ so that, for every integer $b$ greater than or equal to $2$, the discrepancy modulo $1$ of the sequence $(b^0 x, b^1 x, b^2 x , \ldots)$ is essentially the same as…
