In this paper we introduce the space-fractional Poisson process whose state probabilities $p_k^\alpha(t)$, $t>0$, $\alpha \in (0,1]$, are governed by the equations $(\mathrm d/\mathrm dt)p_k(t) = -\lambda^\alpha (1-B)p_k^\alpha(t)$, where…

The seemingly disjoint problems of count and mixture modeling are united under the negative binomial (NB) process. A gamma process is employed to model the rate measure of a Poisson process, whose normalization provides a random probability…

By exploiting the BV quantization of topological bosonic open membrane, we argue that flat 3-form C-field leads to deformations of the algebras of multi-vectors on the Dirichlet-brane world-volume as 2-algebras. This would shed some new…
