In [3], we have introduced a probability measure to study the power and exponential sums for a certain coding system. The distribution function of the probability measure gives explicit formulas for the power and exponential sums.…
An $(m, n)$-parking function can be characterized as function $f:[n] \to [m]$ such that the partition obtained by reordering the values of $f$ fits inside a right triangle with legs of length $m$ and $n$. Recent work by McCammond, Thomas,…
Given $n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $\omega\left(n\right)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of $n$, let $Z$ denote a standard normal variable, and let $P_{n}$ denote the uniform distribution on $\left\{ 1,\ldots,n\right\} $. The…
We consider powers of random matrices with independent entries. Let $X_{ij}, i,j\ge 1$, be independent complex random variables with $\E X_{ij}=0$ and $\E |X_{ij}|^2=1$ and let $\mathbf X$ denote an $n\times n$ matrix with $[\mathbf…
Let $\mathcal D_n$ denote the average number of iterations of West's stack-sorting map $s$ that are needed to sort a permutation in $S_n$ into the identity permutation $123\cdots n$. We prove that…
Let $\lambda$ be a partition of the positive integer $n$, selected uniformly at random among all such partitions. Corteel et al. (1999) proposed three different procedures of sampling parts of $\lambda$ at random. They obtained limiting…
Consider a random graph $G$ of size $N$ constructed according to a \textit{graphon} $w \, : \, [0,1]^{2} \mapsto [0,1]$ as follows. First embed $N$ vertices $V = \{v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_N\}$ into the interval $[0,1]$, then for each $i < j$…
Multiplicity distributions, P(N), provide valuable information on the mechanism of the production process. We argue that the observed P(N) contain more information (located in the small N region) than expected and used so far. We…
In this paper we analyze the spatial distribution of elements around points of interest. Based on a spatial exclusion principle we model the system by means of a Fermi-Dirac distribution defined by two easily interpretable parameters. By…
A special type of binomial splitting process is studied. Such a process can be used to model a high-dimensional corner parking problem, as well as the depth of random PATRICIA tries (a special class of digital tree data structures). The…
Data which lie in the space $\mathcal{P}_{m\,}$, of $m \times m$ symmetric positive definite matrices, (sometimes called tensor data), play a fundamental role in applications including medical imaging, computer vision, and radar signal…
We investigate parking in a one-dimensional lot, where cars enter at a rate $\lambda$ and each attempts to park close to a target at the origin. Parked cars also depart at rate 1. An entering driver cannot see beyond the parked cars for…
Consider a $N\times n$ random matrix $Y_n=(Y_{ij}^{n})$ where the entries are given by $Y_{ij}^{n}=\frac{\sigma(i/N,j/n)}{\sqrt{n}} X_{ij}^{n}$, the $X_{ij}^{n}$ being centered i.i.d. and $\sigma:[0,1]^2 \to (0,\infty)$ being a continuous…
We survey recent results on some one- and two-dimensional patterns generated by random permutations of natural numbers. In the first part, we discuss properties of random walks, evolving on a one-dimensional regular lattice in discrete time…
Whereas most dimensionality reduction techniques (e.g. PCA, ICA, NMF) for multivariate data essentially rely on linear algebra to a certain extent, summarizing ranking data, viewed as realizations of a random permutation $\Sigma$ on a set…
Recently, a phase transition phenomenon has been established for parking on random trees. We extend the results of Curien and H\'enard on general Galton--Watson trees and allow different car arrival distributions depending on the vertex…
We define a partial order $\mathcal{P}_n$ on permutations of any given size $n$, which is the image of a natural partial order on inversion sequences. We call this the ``middle order''. We demonstrate that the poset $\mathcal{P}_n$ refines…
A disordered solid, such as an athermal jammed packing of soft spheres, exists in a rugged potential-energy landscape in which there are a myriad of stable configurations that defy easy enumeration and characterization. Nevertheless, in…
Fix a probability distribution $\mathbf p = (p_1, p_2, \cdots)$ on the positive integers. The first block in a $\mathbf p$-biased permutation can be visualized in terms of raindrops that land at each positive integer $j$ with probability…
In the Page parking (or packing) model on a discrete interval (also known as the discrete R{\'e}nyi packing problem or the unfriendly seating problem), cars of length two successively park uniformly at random on pairs of adjacent places,…
