Let $b(x)$ be the probability that a sum of independent Bernoulli random variables with parameters $p_1, p_2, p_3, \ldots \in [0,1)$ equals $x$, where $\lambda := p_1 + p_2 + p_3 + \cdots$ is finite. We prove two inequalities for the…

We investigate the Hilbert transform and the maximal operator along a class of variable non-flat polynomial curves $(P(t),u(x)t)$ with measurable $u(x)$, and prove uniform $L^p$ estimates for $1<p<\infty$. In particular, via the change of…

Let $H_k$ be the one dimensional Hilbert transform computed in the direction $(1,2^k)$ in the plane. We show that the maximal operator $\sup_k |H_kf|$ maps $L^p$ of the plane into itself for $1<p<\infty$. The same result with the Hilbert…

We study extremal statistics and return intervals in stationary long-range correlated sequences for which the underlying probability density function is bounded and uniform. The extremal statistics we consider e.g., maximum relative to…

This paper studies the asymptotic behaviors of the pairwise angles among n randomly and uniformly distributed unit vectors in R^p as the number of points n -> infinity, while the dimension p is either fixed or growing with n. For both…

For any $p\in[1,\infty]$, we prove that the set of simple functions taking at most $k$ different values is proximinal in $L^p$ for all $k\geq 1$. We introduce the class of uniformly approximable subsets of $L^p$, which is larger than the…

We prove a generalization of van der Corput's Difference Theorem in the theory of uniform distribution by establishing a connection with unitary operators that have Lebesgue spectrum. This allows us to show, for example, that if $(x_n)_{n =…

Denote by $p(k)$ the limit, as $n \rightarrow \infty$, of the probability that a random permutation on a set of size $n$ has an invariant set of size $k$. We give an asymptotic formula for $p(k)$, showing that it is asymptotically…

In this paper, we prove that the Euclidean distance between two independent random vectors uniformly distributed on $l_p^n$-balls $(1 \leq p \leq \infty)$ or on its boundary satisfies a central limit theorem as $n$ tends to $\infty$. Also,…

Fix integers $d \geq 2$ and $k\geq d-1$. Consider a random walk $X_0, X_1, \ldots$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in which, given $X_0, X_1, \ldots, X_n$ ($n \geq k$), the next step $X_{n+1}$ is uniformly distributed on the unit ball centred at $X_n$,…

Let $\{Z_k\}_{k\geqslant 1}$ denote a sequence of independent Bernoulli random variables defined by ${\mathbb P}(Z_k=1)=1/k=1-{\mathbb P}(Z_k=0)$ $(k\geqslant 1)$ and put $T_n:=\sum_{1\leqslant k\leqslant n}kZ_k$. It is then known that…

We show that maximal operators formed by dilations of Mikhlin-H"ormander multipliers are typically not bounded on $L^p(R^d)$. We also give rather weak conditions in terms of the decay of such multipliers under which $L^p$ boundedness of the…

We present examples of $p$-sub-exponential random variables for any positive $p$. We prove two types of concentration of standard $p$-norms ($2$-norm is the Euclidean norm) of random vectors with independent $p$-sub-exponential coordinates…
