What is the number of rolls of fair 6-sided dice until the first time the total sum of all rolls is a prime? We compute the expectation and the variance of this random variable up to an additive error of less than 10^{-4}. This is a…

We provide a mechanism that uses two biased coins and implements any distribution on a finite set of elements, in such a way that even if the outcomes of one of the coins is determined by an adversary, the final distribution remains…

We investigate the probability density of rescaled sums of iterates of deterministic dynamical systems, a problem relevant for many complex physical systems consisting of dependent random variables. A Central Limit Theorem (CLT) is only…

In this paper we consider a dynamic version of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph, in which edges independently appear and disappear in time, with the on- and off times being exponentially distributed. The focus lies on the evolution of…

Nourdin et al. [9] established the following universality result: if a sequence of off-diagonal homogeneous polynomial forms in i.i.d. standard normal random variables converges in distribution to a normal, then the convergence also holds…

We prove a central limit theorem for stationary multiple (random) fields of martingale differences $f\circ T_{\underline{i}}$, $\underline{i}\in \Bbb Z^d$, where $T_{\underline{i}}$ is a $\Bbb Z^d$ action. In most cases the multiple…

We prove that a law of large numbers and a central limit theorem hold for the excited random walk model in every dimension $d \geq 2$.

If $\ell: V(G)\rightarrow {\mathbb N}$ is a vertex labeling of a graph $G = (V(G), E(G))$, then the $d$-lucky sum of a vertex $u\in V(G)$ is $d_\ell(u) = d_G(u) + \sum_{v\in N(u)}\ell(v)$. The labeling $\ell$ is a $d$-lucky labeling if…

We consider the edge-triangle model, a two-parameter family of exponential random graphs in which dependence between edges is introduced through triangles. In the so-called replica symmetric regime, the limiting free energy exists together…

We prove a central limit theorem for random walks with finite variance on linear groups.

This paper proves limit theorems for the number of monochromatic edges in uniform random colorings of general random graphs. These can be seen as generalizations of the birthday problem (what is the chance that there are two friends with…

Suppose that you have $n$ colours and $m$ mutually independent dice, each of which has $r$ sides. Each dice lands on any of its sides with equal probability. You may colour the sides of each die in any way you wish, but there is one…

We believe we have made progress in the age-old problem of divisibility rules for integers. Universal divisibility rule is introduced for any divisor in any base number system. The divisibility criterion is written down explicitly as a…

We prove a central limit theorem for the volume of projections of the N-cube onto a random subspace of dimension n, when n is fixed and N tends to infinity. Randomness in this case is with respect to the Haar measure on the Grassmannian…

Let $d\geq 3$ be a fixed integer and $A$ be the adjacency matrix of a random $d$-regular directed or undirected graph on $n$ vertices. We show there exist constants $\mathfrak d>0$, \begin{align*} {\mathbb P}(\text{$A$ is singular in…

The Schnorr-Stimm dichotomy theorem concerns finite-state gamblers that bet on infinite sequences of symbols taken from a finite alphabet $\Sigma$. In this paper we use the Kullback-Leibler divergence to formulate the $\textit{lower…

We use the recently developed method of weighted dependency graphs to prove central limit theorems for the number of occurrences of any fixed pattern in multiset permutations and in set partitions. This generalizes results for patterns of…

A Central Limit Theorem for non-commutative random variables is proved using the Lindeberg method. The theorem is a generalization of the Central Limit Theorem for free random variables proved by Voiculescu. The Central Limit Theorem in…

The main result given in Theorem~1.1 is a condition for a map $X$, defined on the complement of a disk $D$ in R^2 with values in R^2, to be extended to a topological embedding of R^2, not necessarily surjective. The map $X$ is supposed to…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of order $q$, and $\mathcal{A}$ a non-empty proper subset of $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $\mathbf{M}$ be a random $m \times n$ matrix of rank $r$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ taken with uniform distribution. It was…
