We recall that the $k$-Naples parking functions of length $n$ (a generalization of parking functions) are defined by requiring that a car which finds its preferred spot occupied must first back up a spot at a time (up to $k$ spots) before…

The essentially unique reduction of the Euler-Poinsot problem may be performed in different sets of variables. Action-angle variables are usually preferred because of their suitability for approaching perturbed rigid-body motion. But they…

This paper considers the existence and multiplicity of fixed points for the integral operator \begin{equation*} {\mathcal{T}}u(t)=\lambda \,\int_{0}^{T}k(t,s)\,f(s,u(s),u^{\prime }(s),\dots ,u^{(m)}(s))\,\dif s,\quad t\in \lbrack 0,T]\equiv…

In this paper, we study estimation of certain integral functionals of one or two densities with samples from stationary m-dependent sequences. We consider two types of U-statistic estimators for these functionals that are functions of the…

For each skew shape we define a nonhomogeneous symmetric function, generalizing a construction of Pak and Postnikov. In two special cases, we show that the coefficients of this function when expanded in the complete homogeneous basis are…

We propose a unified framework for establishing existence of nonparametric M-estimators, computing the corresponding estimates, and proving their strong consistency when the class of functions is exceptionally rich. In particular, the…

This article addresses some asymptotic and numerical issues related to the solution of Burgers' equation, $-\epsilon u_{xx} + u_t + u u_x = 0$ on $(-1,1)$, subject to the boundary conditions $u(-1) = 1 + \delta$, $u(1) = -1$, and its…

For $n \in \mathbb{N}$ let $\Pi[n]$ denote the set of partitions of $n$, i.e., the set of positive integer tuples $(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_k)$ such that $x_1 \geq x_2 \geq \cdots \geq x_k$ and $x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_k = n$. Fixing…

Let $u$ be a pluriharmonic function on the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^n$. I consider the relationship between the set of points $L_u$ on the boundary of the ball at which $u$ converges nontangentially and the set of points $\mathcal{L}_u$ at…

We study three natural types of restrictions on Fubini rankings and unit interval parking functions, which are motivated by their correspondence with ordered set partitions. For each restriction type, we define the corresponding subset of…

The random map model is a deterministic dynamical system in a finite phase space with n points. The map that establishes the dynamics of the system is constructed by randomly choosing, for every point, another one as being its image. We…

A wide range of physical problems can be described by randomly-oriented linear trajectories, including any system of objects, organisms, particles, or rays that follow a linear path. Dependent upon the particular random variables that…

We introduce the class of bilateral parking procedures on the integer line. While cars try to park in the nearest available spot to their right in the classical case, we consider more general parking rules that allow cars to use the nearest…

We study the probability distribution function of the long-time values of observables being time-evolved by Hamiltonians modeling clean and disordered one-dimensional chains of many spin-1/2 particles. In particular, we analyze the return…

in this article a multilayer parking system of size n=3 is studied. We prove that the asymptotic limit of the particle density in the center approaches a maximum of 1/2 in higher layers. This means a significant increase of capacity…

Consider the viscous Burgers equation $u_t + f(u)_x = \epsilon\, u_{xx}$ on the interval $[0,1]$ with the inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions $u(t,0) = \rho_0$, $u(t,1) = \rho_1$. The flux $f$ is the function $f(u)= u(1-u)$,…

We investigate properties of a multivariate function $E(m_1,m_2,...,m_r)$, called {\it orbicyclic}, that arises in enumerative combinatorics in counting non-isomorphic maps on orientable surfaces. $E(m_1,m_2,...,m_r)$ proves to be…

We consider the question of existence of a unique invariant probability distribution which satisfies some evolutionary property. The problem arises from the random graph theory but to answer it we treat it as a dynamical system in the…

In 1953 LeVeque proved the existence of $U_m$-numbers by showing that for some specially defined Liouville number $\lambda$, the $m$th root $\lambda^{1/m}$ is in $U_m$. In this article we study the following question: let $u$ be an…

Many random combinatorial objects have a component structure whose joint distribution is equal to that of a process of mutually independent random variables, conditioned on the value of a weighted sum of the variables. It is interesting to…
