We begin with a scenario that involves point-like observers starting at t=0 from the origin O of an inertial reference frame. They move with all possible proper accelerations in the positive direction of the OX axis. Equipped with light…
For a L\'evy process on the real line, we provide complete criteria for the finiteness of exponential moments of the first passage time into the interval $(r,\infty)$, the sojourn time in the interval $(-\infty,r]$, and the last exit time…
Given good knowledge on the even moments, we derive asymptotic formulas for $\lambda$-th moments of primes in short intervals and prove "equivalence" result on odd moments. We also provide numerical evidence in support of these results.
Starting from Montgomery's conjecture, there has been a substantial interest on the connections of random matrix theory and the theory of L-functions. In particular, moments of characteristic polynomials of random matrices have been…
We develop moment estimators for the parameters of affine stochastic volatility models. We first address the challenge of calculating moments for the models by introducing a recursive equation for deriving closed-form expressions for…

Let $X$ be a random walk on the torus of side length $N$ in dimension $d\geq 3$ with uniform starting point, and $t_{\text{cov}}$ be the expected value of its cover time, which is the first time that $X$ has visited every vertex of the…

A unifying and generalizing approach to representations of the positive-part and absolute moments $\mathsf{E} X_+^p$ and $\mathsf{E}|X|^p$ of a random variable $X$ for real $p$ in terms of the characteristic function (c.f.) of $X$, as well…
In experiment, the multiplicity distributions of inelastic processes are truncated due to finite energy, insufficient statistics or special choice of events. It is shown that the moments of such truncated multiplicity distributions possess…
Let $X$ be an observable random variable with unknown distribution function $F(x) = \mathbb{P}(X \leq x), - \infty < x < \infty$, and let \[\ \theta = \sup\left \{ r \geq 0:~ \mathbb{E}|X|^{r} < \infty \right \}. \] We call $\theta$ the…

Linear nonautonomous/random parabolic partial differential equations are considered under the Dirichlet, Neumann or Robin boundary conditions, where both the zero order coefficients in the equation and the coefficients in the boundary…
A smooth function of the second moments of $N$ continuous variables gives rise to an uncertainty relation if it is bounded from below. We present a method to systematically derive such bounds by generalizing an approach applied previously…

Consider n unit intervals, say [1,2], [3,4], ..., [2n-1,2n]. Identify their endpoints in pairs at random, with all (2n-1)!! = (2n-1) (2n-3) ... 3 1 pairings being equally likely. The result is a collection of cycles of various lengths, and…

In this paper we study the (strong) Leibniz property of centered moments of bounded random variables. We shall answer a question raised by M. Rieffel on the non-commutative standard deviation.
In this work, an inverse problem in the fractional diffusion equation with random source is considered. Statistical moments are used of the realizations of single point observation $u(x_0,t,\omega).$ We build the representation of the…
