A definition of summability is put forward in the framework of general Carleman ultraholomorphic classes in sectors, so generalizing $k-$summability theory as developed by J.-P. Ramis. Departing from a strongly regular sequence of positive…
Given lacunary sequence of integers, $n_k$, $n_{k+1}/n_k>\lambda>1$, we define a new sequence $\{m_k\}$ formed by all possible $l$-wise sums $\pm n_{k_1}\pm n_{k_2}\pm \ldots\pm n_{k_l}$. We prove if $\lambda>\lambda_l$, then any series…
The Glivenko--Cantelli theorem is a uniform version of the strong law of large numbers. It states that for every IID sequence of random variables, the empirical measure converges to the underlying distribution (in the sense of uniform…
In this manuscript we define the notion of "$\delta$-typicality" for both entropy and relative entropy, as well as a notion of $\epsilon$-goodness and provide an extension to Stein's lemma for continuous quantities as well as correlated…
In this paper we prove a L\'evy-Ottaviani type of property for the Bernoulli process defined on an interval. Namely, we show that under certain conditions on functions $(a_i)_{i=1}^{n}$ and for independent Bernoulli random variables…
Let $L_n$ be the length of the longest common subsequence of two independent i.i.d. sequences of Bernoulli variables of length $n$. We prove that the order of the standard deviation of $L_n$ is $\sqrt{n}$, provided the parameter of the…
The purpose of this article is to formulate a number of probabilistic hidden-variable theorems, to provide proofs in some cases, and counterexamples to some conjectured relationships. The first theorem is the fundamental one. It asserts the…
A sequence $\textbf{p}=(p_{n})$ of real numbers is called Abel convergent to $\ell$ if the series $\Sigma_{k=0}^{\infty}p_{k}x^{k}$ is convergent for $0\leq x<1$ and \[\lim_{x \to 1^{-}}(1-x) \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}p_{k}x^{k}=\ell.\] We…
Let $X_1$ and $N\ge 0$ be integer valued power law random variables. For a randomly stopped sum $S_N=X_1+\cdots+X_N$ of independent and identically distributed copies of $X_1$ we establish a first order asymptotics of the local…
IIt is demonstrated that the entropy of statistical mechanics and of information theory, $S({\bf p}) = -\sum p_i \log p_i $ may be viewed as a measure of correlation. Given a probability distribution on two discrete variables, $p_{ij}$, we…
A sequence of real numbers $\{x_{n}\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ is said to be $\alpha \beta$-statistically convergent of order $\gamma$ (where $0<\gamma\leq 1$) to a real number $x$ \cite{a} if for every $\delta>0,$ $$\underset{n\rightarrow…
Years ago Zeev Rudnick defined the ${\lambda}$-Poisson generic sequences as the infinite sequences of symbols in a finite alphabet where the number of occurrences of long words in the initial segments follow the Poisson distribution with…
Standard results in descriptive set theory provide sufficient conditions for a Borel set $P \subseteq \mathbb{N}^\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N}^\mathbb{N}$ to admit a Borel uniformization, namely, when $P$ has "small" sections or "large"…
Let $t \in [1,2)$ and $p > 2/(2 - t)$. I construct a $t$-Frostman Borel measure $\mu$ on $[0,1]^{2}$ such that $\pi_{\theta}\mu \notin L^{p}$ for every $\theta \in S^{1}$. This answers a question of Peres and Schlag.
The study of Borel equivalence relations under Borel reducibility has developed into an important area of descriptive set theory. The dichotomies of Silver and Harrington-Kechris-Louveau show that with respect to Borel reducibility, any…
Probability is distinguished into two kinds: physical and epistemic, also, but less accurately, called objective and subjective. Simple postulates are given for physical probability, the only novel one being a locality condition. Translated…
We develop the framework of $L_p$ operations for functions by introducing two primary new types $L_{p,s}$ summations for $p>0$: the $L_{p,s}$ convolution sum and the $L_{p,s}$ Asplund sum for functions. The first type is defined as the…
Some occurrences of $n$ can be replaced by $n-1$ in a special case of the Shapley-Folkman lemma.
After a short review of the historical milestones on normal numbers, we introduce the Borel numbers as the reals admitting a probability function on their different bases representations. In this setting, we provide two probabilistic…
We introduce a hierarchy of conditions necessarily satisfied by any distribution P(ab) representing the probabilities for two separate observers to obtain outcomes a and b when making local measurements on a shared quantum state. Each…
