If $\Lambda $ is a measure space, $u:\Lambda ^{m}\rightarrow \Bbb{R}$ is a given function and $N\geq m,$ the function $U(x_{1},...,x_{N})=\left( \begin{array}{l} N \\ m \end{array} \right) ^{-1}\sum_{1\leq i_{1}<\cdots <i_{m}\leq…
The paper aims at finding widely and smoothly defined nonparametric location and scatter functionals. As a convenient vehicle, maximum likelihood estimation of the location vector m and scatter matrix S of an elliptically symmetric t…
This paper considers continuously differentiable functions of two vector variables that have (possibly a continuum of) min-max saddle points. We study the asymptotic convergence properties of the associated saddle-point dynamics…
In this paper, let $\mathcal{P}_{n;\leq s;k}^l$ denote a set of $k$-flaw preference sets $(a_1,...,a_n)$ with $n$ parking spaces satisfying that $1\leq a_i\leq s$ for any $i$ and $a_1=l$ and $p_{n;\leq s;k}^l=|\mathcal{P}_{n;\leq s;k}^l|$.…
If the moments of a probability measure on $\R$ are interpreted as a specialization of complete homogeneous symmetric functions, its free cumulants are, up to sign, the corresponding specializations of a sequence of Schur positive symmetric…
We say that a random vector $X=(X_1,...,X_n)$ in $R^n$ is an $n$-dimensional version of a random variable $Y$ if for any $a\in R^n$ the random variables $\sum a_iX_i$ and $\gamma(a) Y$ are identically distributed, where $\gamma:R^n\to…

We classify recurrent states of the Abelian sandpile model (ASM) on the complete split graph. There are two distinct cases to be considered that depend upon the location of the sink vertex in the complete split graph. This characterisation…
It is shown by constructing Rohlins canonical measures that for a strictly stationary, d-dimensional vector-valued process X there exists another strictly stationary d-dimensional process U with uniform one-dimensional marginals and with…
We introduce a general result relating "short averages" of a multiplicative function to "long averages" which are well understood. This result has several consequences. First, for the M\"obius function we show that there are cancellations…
We introduce a weak asymptotic version of nonlinear contraction, termed \emph{asymptotic pointwise contraction}. For a mapping on a metric space, this notion requires the existence of a sequence of functions that dominate the distances…
The action of the symmetric group $S_n$ on the set $Park_n$ of parking functions of size $n$ has received a great deal of attention in algebraic combinatorics. We prove that the action of $S_n$ on $Park_n$ extends to an action of $S_{n+1}$.…
Let $s_0,s_1,s_2,\ldots$ be a sequence of rational numbers whose $m$th divided difference is integer-valued. We prove that $s_n$ is a polynomial function in $n$ if $s_n \ll \theta^n$ for some positive number $\theta$ satisfying $\theta <…

Consider the algebra Q<<x_1,x_2,...>> of formal power series in countably many noncommuting variables over the rationals. The subalgebra Pi(x_1,x_2,...) of symmetric functions in noncommuting variables consists of all elements invariant…
In this paper we introduce a method which allows us to study properties of the random uniform simplicial complex. That is, we assign equal probability to all simplicial complexes with a given number of vertices and then consider properties…
By constructing jointly a random graph and an associated exploration process, we define the dynamics of a "parking process" on a class of uniform random graphs as a measure-valued Markov process, representing the empirical degree…
B\"uchi's $n$ Squares Problem asks for an integer $M$ such that any sequence $(x_0,...,x_{M-1})$, whose second difference of squares is the constant sequence $(2)$ (i.e. $x^2_n-2x^2_{n-1}+x_{n-2}^2=2$ for all $n$), satisfies $x_n^2=(x+n)^2$…
A special type of binomial splitting process is studied. Such a process can be used to model a high-dimensional corner parking problem, as well as the depth of random PATRICIA tries (a special class of digital tree data structures). The…
