Counting votes is complex and error-prone. Several statistical methods have been developed to assess election accuracy by manually inspecting randomly selected physical ballots. Two 'principled' methods are risk-limiting audits (RLAs) and…

We consider colored compositions where only some parts are allowed different colors, depending on their locations in the composition. The counting sequences are obtained through generating functions. Connections to many other combinatorial…

In this work we consider the \emph{infinite color urn model} associated with a bounded increment random walk on $\Zbold^d$. This model was first introduced by Bandyopadhyay and Thacker (2013). We prove that the rate of convergence of the…

We revisit the random allocation model in which $n$ balls are independently placed into $N$ boxes with probabilities $q_1,\ldots,q_N$. A classical asymptotic result due to Kolchin, Sevastyanov, and Chistyakov for the expectations,…

System I is a simply-typed lambda calculus with pairs, extended with an equational theory obtained from considering the type isomorphisms as equalities. In this work we propose an extension of System I to polymorphic types, adding the…

Which patterns must a two-colouring of $K_n$ contain if each vertex has at least $\varepsilon n$ red and $\varepsilon n$ blue neighbours? In this paper, we investigate this question and its multicolour variant. For instance, we show that…

We show that there is a one-round randomized distributed algorithm that can 2-color cycles such that the expected fraction of monochromatic edges is less than 0.24118. We also show that a one-round algorithm cannot achieve a fraction less…

In the paper, we search for monochromatic infinite additive structures involving polynomials over $\mathbb{N}$. It is proved that for any $r\in \mathbb{N}$, any two distinct natural numbers $a,b$, and any $2$-coloring of $\mathbb{N}$, there…

We discuss counting problems linked to finite versions of Cantor's diagonal of infinite tableaux. We extend previous results of [2] by refining an equivalence relation that reduces significantly the exhaustive generation. New enumerative…

We compare two statistical models of three binary random variables. One is a mixture model and the other is a product of mixtures model called a restricted Boltzmann machine. Although the two models we study look different from their…

Consider a generalized time-dependent P\'olya urn process defined as follows. Let $d\in \mathbb{N}$ be the number of urns/colors. At each time $n$, we distribute $\sigma_n$ balls randomly to the $d$ urns, proportionally to $f$, where $f$ is…
