We study persistence probabilities of Hermite processes. As a tool, we derive a general decorrelation inequality for the Rosenblatt process, which is reminiscent of Slepian's lemma for Gaussian processes or the FKG inequality and which may…

Let $S_n^{(2)}$ denote the iterated partial sums. That is, $S_n^{(2)}=S_1+S_2+ ... +S_n$, where $S_i=X_1+X_2+ ... s+X_i$. Assuming $X_1, X_2,....,X_n$ are integrable, zero-mean, i.i.d. random variables, we show that the persistence…

The Bessel point process is a rigid point process on the positive real line and its conditional measure on a bounded interval $[0,R]$ is almost surely an orthogonal polynomial ensemble. In this article, we show that if $R$ tends to…

With $\{\xi_i\}_{i\ge 0}$ being a centered stationary Gaussian sequence with non-negative correlation function $\rho(i):=\mathbb{E}[ \xi_0\xi_i]$ and $\{\sigma(i)\}_{i\ge 1}$ a sequence of positive reals, we study the asymptotics of the…

Neither the Euler-Mascheroni constant, $\gamma=0.577215...$, nor the Euler-Gompertz constant, $\delta=0.596347...$, is currently known to be irrational. However, it has been proved that at least one of them is transcendental. The two…

We consider the perturbed Mann's iterative process \begin{equation} x_{n+1}=(1-\theta_n)x_n+\theta_n f(x_n)+r_n, \end{equation} where $f:[0,1]\rightarrow[0,1]$ is a continuous function, $\{\theta_n\}\in [0,1]$ is a given sequence, and…

We examine convergent representations for the sum of Bessel functions \[\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{J_\mu(na) J_\nu(nb)}{n^{\alpha}}\] for $\mu$, $\nu\geq0$ and positive values of $a$ and $b$. Such representations enable easy computation of the…

The series $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$ converges for $q\in [0,1)$, $x\in \mathbb{R}$, and defines a {\em partial theta function}. For any fixed $q\in (0,1)$ it has infinitely many negative zeros. For $q$ taking one…
