In this article, we study the behavior of consecutive values of random completely multiplicative functions $(X_n)_{n \geq 1}$ whose values are i.i.d. at primes. We prove that for $X_2$ uniform on the unit circle, or uniform on the set of…
Let $S_n$ be the sum of independent random variables with distribution $F$. Under the assumption that $-\log(1-F(x))$ is slowly varying, conditions for $$ \lim_{n\to\infty}\sup_{s\ge t_n}\left|{P[S_n>s]\over n(1-F(s))}-1\right| =0 $$ are…
We review some probabilistic properties of the sum-of-digits function of random integers. New asymptotic approximations to the total variation distance and its refinements are also derived. Four different approaches are used: a classical…
Let $X_1,..., X_n$ be i.i.d.\ copies of a random variable $X=Y+Z,$ where $ X_i=Y_i+Z_i,$ and $Y_i$ and $Z_i$ are independent and have the same distribution as $Y$ and $Z,$ respectively. Assume that the random variables $Y_i$'s are…
The following work is written in easy language for college level students. It shows how the first digit probabilities of a group of continuous real-valued functions can be calculated. Thus, examples explaining how the probabilities are…
For basic discrete probability distributions, $-$ Bernoulli, Pascal, Poisson, hypergeometric, contagious, and uniform, $-$ $q$-analogs are proposed.
Let $X$ be a Bernoulli random variable with the success probability $p$. We are interested in tight bounds on $\mathbb{E}[f(X_1,X_2)]$, where $X_i=\mathbb{E}[X| \mathcal{F}_i]$ and $\mathcal{F}_i$ are some sigma-algebras. This problem is…
We give a construction of a real number that is normal to all integer bases and continued fraction normal. The computation of the first n digits of its continued fraction expansion performs in the order of n^4 mathematical operations. The…
We consider the discrete three dimensional scan statistics. Viewed as the maximum of an 1-dependent stationary r.v.'s sequence, we provide approximations and error bounds for the probability distribution of the three dimensional scan…
This article presents a modern deterministic framework for the study of leading significant digit distributions in numerical data. Rather than relying on traditional probabilistic or mixture-based explanations, we demonstrate that the…
We consider a model of space-continuous one-dimensional random walk with simple correlation between the steps: the probability that two consecutive steps have same sign is $q$ with $0\leq q\leq 1$. The parameter $q$ allows thus to control…
In a previous study (quant-ph/0207181), we formulated a conjecture that arbitrarily coupled qubits (describable by 4 x 4 density matrices) are separable with an a priori probability of 8/(11 \pi^2) = 0.0736881. For this purpose, we employed…
In this paper, we study the distribution of the minimal distance (in the Hamming metric) of a random linear code of dimension $k$ in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$. We provide quantitative estimates showing that the distribution function of the minimal…
In the paper, I consider appearance of unit's digits in minor totals of a few integer sequences. The sequences include the sequence of even integers, sequence of odd integers and Faulhaber polynomial at $p = 2$. Application of difference…
Let $\{X,X_n,n\ge 1\}$ be a sequence of identically distributed, negatively dependent (NA) random variables under sub-linear expectations, and denote $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_i$, $n\ge 1$. Assume that $h(\cdot)$ is a positive non-decreasing…
We study the set of the representable numbers in base $q=pe^{i\frac{2\pi}{n}}$ with $\rho>1$ and $n\in \mathbb N$ and with digits in a arbitrary finite real alphabet $A$. We give a geometrical description of the convex hull of the…
We consider a problem concerning the distribution of points with missing digits coordinates that are close to non-degenerate analytic submanifolds. We show that large enough (to be specified in the paper) sets of points with missing digits…
Khinchin proved that the arithmetic mean of continued fraction digits of Lebesgue almost every irrational number in $(0,1)$ diverges to infinity. Hence, none of the classical limit theorems such as the weak and strong laws of large numbers…
Our goal is to develop a general strategy to decompose a random variable $X$ into multiple independent random variables, without sacrificing any information about unknown parameters. A recent paper showed that for some well-known natural…
Let $\{X_n, n \ge 1\}$ be a sequence of stationary associated random variables. We discuss another set of conditions under which a central limit theorem for U-statistics based on $\{X_n, n \ge 1\}$ holds. We look at U-statistics based on…
