We investigate the asymptotic properties of permutations drawn from the Luce model, a natural probabilistic framework in which permutations are generated sequentially by sampling without replacement, with selection probabilities…
A permutation $\sigma$ describing the relative orders of the first $n$ iterates of a point $x$ under a self-map $f$ of the interval $I=[0,1]$ is called an \emph{order pattern}. For fixed $f$ and $n$, measuring the points $x\in I$ (according…
For $\tau\in S_3$, let $\mu_n^{\tau}$ denote the uniformly random probability measure on the set of $\tau$-avoiding permutations in $S_n$. Let $\mathbb{N}^*=\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$ with an appropriate metric and denote by…
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 the geometric graph on $n$ independent uniform random points in a connected compact region $A$ of ${\bf R}^d, d \geq 2$, with $C^2$ boundary, or in the unit square, with distance parameter $r_n$. Let $K_n$ be the number of…
We prove the continuity of asymptotic entropy as a function of the step distribution for non-degenerate probability measures with finite entropy on wreath products $ A \wr B = \bigoplus_B A \rtimes B $, where $A$ is any countable group and…
This paper investigates what can be inferred about an arbitrary continuous probability distribution from a finite sample of $N$ observations drawn from it. The central finding is that the $N$ sorted sample points partition the real line…
In their seminal paper introducing the theory of random graphs, Erd\H{o}s and R\'{e}nyi considered the evolution of the structure of a random subgraph of $K_n$ as the density increases from $0$ to $1$, identifying two key points in this…
For non-negative integers $(d_n(k))_{k \ge 1}$ such that $\sum_{k \ge 1} d_n(k) = n$, we sample a bipartite planar map with $n$ faces uniformly at random amongst those which have $d_n(k)$ faces of degree $2k$ for every $k \ge 1$ and we…
Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb C$, and let $P_n$ be the random polynomial whose zeros are sampled independently from $\mu$. We study the asymptotic distribution of zeros of high-order derivatives of $P_n$. We show that, for…
We investigate the conditions under which the space of bounded harmonic functions of a probability measure $\mu$ on a group $G$ is contained in that of another measure $\theta$. We establish that asymptotic commutativity, defined by the…
Shannon Entropy is the preeminent tool for measuring the level of uncertainty (and conversely, information content) in a random variable. In the field of communications, entropy can be used to express the information content of given…
Let ${\cal H}=(q_1, \ldots q_r)$ be a finite set of coprime integers and let $n_1, n_2, \ldots$ denote the multiplicative semigroup generated by $\cal H$ and arranged in increasing order. The distribution of such sequences has been studied…
We introduce a rather natural family of non-uniform distributions on $PF_n$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$, the set of parking functions of length $n$. One of the motivations for this comes from a similar situation in the context of integer partitions.…
Let $\mu$ be a probability measure (or corresponding random variable) such that all moments $\mu_n$ exist. Knowledge of the moments is not sufficient to determine infinite divisibility of the measure; we show also that infinitely divisible,…
A permutation sequence $(\sigma_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is said to be convergent if, for every fixed permutation $\tau$, the density of occurrences of $\tau$ in the elements of the sequence converges. We prove that such a convergent sequence…
In this mainly expository paper we present a detailed proof of several results contained in a paper by M. Bertelson and M. Gromov on Dynamical Morse Entropy. This is an introduction to the ideas presented in that work. Suppose $M$ is…
We consider a one-parameter family of expanding interval maps $\{T_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha \in [0,1]}$ (japanese continued fractions) which include the Gauss map ($\alpha=1$) and the nearest integer and by-excess continued fraction maps…
For each $n$, let $A_n=(\sigma_{ij})$ be an $n\times n$ deterministic matrix and let $X_n=(X_{ij})$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix with i.i.d. centered entries of unit variance. We study the asymptotic behavior of the empirical spectral…
We investigate concentration properties of spectral measures of Hermitian random matrices with partially dependent entries. More precisely, let $X_n$ be a Hermitian random matrix of size $n\times n$ that can be split into independent blocks…
