We study the asymptotic behavior of the maximal multiplicity $M_n=M_n(\sigma)$ of the blocks in a set partition of $[n]=\{1,2,...,n\}$, assuming that $\sigma$ is chosen uniformly at random from the set of all such partitions. Let $W=W(n)$…

We use the delta method and Stein's method to derive, under regularity conditions, explicit upper bounds for the distributional distance between the distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of a $d$-dimensional parameter and…

We study integer coefficient polynomials of fixed degree and maximum height $H$, that are irreducible by Dumas's criterion. We call such polynomials Dumas polynomials. We derive upper bounds on the number of Dumas polynomials, as $H$…

A set of $N$ points is chosen randomly in a $D$-dimensional volume $V=a^D$, with periodic boundary conditions. For each point $i$, its distance $d_i$ is found to its nearest neighbour. Then, the maximal value is found, $d_{max}=max(d_i,…

We define two-dimensional Dirichlet spectrum (with respect to Euclidean norm) as D_2=\lambda\in\mathbf{R} | \exists \mathbf{v}=(v_1,v_2)\in \mathbf {R}^2: \limsup\limits_{t\rightarrow\infty} {t\cdot\psi_{v}^2(t)}=\lambda, where…

We obtain bounds to quantify the distributional approximation in the delta method for vector statistics (the sample mean of $n$ independent random vectors) for normal and non-normal limits, measured using smooth test functions. For normal…

We consider random polynomials $p_n(x)=\xi_0+\xi_1+\dots+\xi_n x^n$ whose coefficients are independent and identically distributed with zero mean, unit variance, and bounded $(2+\epsilon)^{th}$ moment (for some $\epsilon>0$), also known as…

Inspired by Armin Straub's conjecture (arXiv:1601.07161) about the number and maximal size of (2n+1, 2n+3)-core partitions with distinct parts, we develop relatively efficient, symbolic-computational algorithms, based on non-linear…

Let $A$ be a compact $d$-dimensional $C^2$ Riemannian manifold with boundary, embedded in ${\bf R}^m$ where $m \geq d \geq 2$, and let $B$ be a nice subset of $A$ (possibly $B=A$). Let $X_1,X_2, \ldots $ be independent random uniform points…

Let $\{{\bf \mathcal{Z}}_n:n\geq 1\}$ be a sequence of i.i.d. random probability measures. Independently, for each $n\geq 1$, let $(X_{n1},\ldots, X_{nn})$ be a random vector of positive random variables that add up to one. This paper…

Let $X$ be a random variable distributed according to the binomial distribution with parameters $n$ and $p$. It is shown that $P(X>EX)\ge1/4$ if $1>p\ge c/n$, where $c:=\ln(4/3)$, the best possible constant factor.

We prove optimal constant over root $n$ upper bounds for the maximal probabilities of $n$th convolution powers of discrete uniform distributions.

We consider a certain class of multiplicative functions $f: \mathbb N \rightarrow \mathbb C$ and study the distribution of zeros of Dirichlet polynomials $F_N(s)= \sum_{n\le N} f(n)n^{-s}$ corresponding to these functions. We prove that the…

We consider the width $X_T(\omega)$ of a convex $n$-gon $T$ in the plane along the random direction $\omega\in\mathbb{R}/2\pi \mathbb{Z}$ and study its deviation rate: $$…

In this paper, we study the maximum likelihood estimate of the probability mass function (pmf) of $n$ independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables, in the non-asymptotic regime. We are interested in characterizing the…

What is the maximum possible value of the lead coefficient of a degree $d$ polynomial $Q(x)$ if $|Q(1)|,|Q(2)|,\ldots,|Q(k)|$ are all less than or equal to one? More generally we write $L_{d,[x_k]}(x)$ for what we prove to be the unique…

Consider the divisor sum $\sum_{n\leq N}\tau(n^2+2bn+c)$ for integers $b$ and $c$. We extract an asymptotic formula for the average divisor sum in a convenient form, and provide an explicit upper bound for this sum with the correct main…
