We compute the Wiener chaos decomposition of the signature for a class of Gaussian processes, which contains fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with Hurst parameter H in (1/4, 1). At level 0, our result yields an expression for the expected…
It is shown that elementary excitations in fractal media obey the so-called parastatistics of a variable order. We show that the order of the parastatistics $N(k) $ is a function of wave numbers $k$ which depends on the fractal dimension…
We continue our study of the distribution of the maximal number $X^{\ast}_k$ of offsprings amongst all individuals in a critical Galton-Watson process started with $k$ ancestors, treating the case when the reproduction law has a regularly…
Let $b$ be a numeration base. A $b$-Niven number is one that is divisible by the sum of its base $b$ digits. We introduce high degree $b$-Niven numbers. These are $b$-Niven numbers that have a power greater than $1$ that is $b$-Niven…
This paper gives a brief introduction to some important fractional and multifractional Gaussian processes commonly used in modelling natural phenomena and man-made systems. The processes include fractional Brownian motion (both standard and…
Many questions in experimental mathematics are fundamentally inductive in nature. Here we demonstrate how Bayesian inference --the logic of partial beliefs-- can be used to quantify the evidence that finite data provide in favor of a…
Many statistical problems include model parameters that are defined as the solutions to optimization sub-problems. These include classical approaches such as profile likelihood as well as modern applications involving flow networks or…
A gyrokinetic reduction is based on a specific ordering of the different small parameters characterizing the background magnetic field and the fluctuating electromagnetic fields. In this tutorial, we consider the following ordering of the…
Recently, a generalized Bernoulli process (GBP) was developed as a stationary binary sequence whose covariance function obeys a power law. In this paper, we further develop generalized Bernoulli processes, reveal their asymptotic behaviors,…
Zeckendorf proved that every positive integer $n$ can be written uniquely as the sum of non-adjacent Fibonacci numbers; a similar result, though with a different notion of a legal decomposition, holds for many other sequences. We use these…
This article presents a modern deterministic framework for the study of leading significant digit distributions in numerical data. Rather than relying on traditional probabilistic or mixture-based explanations, we demonstrate that the…
A paradigm for isothermal, mechanical rectification of stochastic fluctuations is introduced in this paper. The central idea is to transform energy injected by random perturbations into rigid-body rotational kinetic energy. The prototype…
We establish properties of a new type of fractal which has partial self similarity at all scales. For any collection of iterated functions systems with an associated probability distribution and any positive integer V there is a…
Growth-fragmentation processes model the evolution of positive masses which undergo binary divisions. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we extend the theory of growth-fragmentation processes to allow signed mass. Among others, we…
Generalised Bayesian inference updates prior beliefs using a loss function, rather than a likelihood, and can therefore be used to confer robustness against possible mis-specification of the likelihood. Here we consider generalised Bayesian…
We consider the usual Langevin equation depending on an internal time. This parameter is substituted by a first passage time of a self-similar Markov process. Then the Gaussian process is parent, and the hitting time process is directing.…
We study the generalized continued fraction expansions of complex numbers in term of elements from Euclidean subrings, especially Gaussian or Eisenstein integers, in a general framework as pursued in [3] and [1]. We introduce a common…
We show that the genealogy of any self-similar fragmentation process can be encoded in a compact measured real tree. Under some Malthusian hypotheses, we compute the fractal Hausdorff dimension of this tree through the use of a natural…
Natural numbers are represented by Grzegorczyk functions. The representation is implicit in the technique of H. Friedman. An iterated base-shift in the representation with subtracting 1 yields a sequence, Grzegorczyk sequence. It is shown…
We show that normality for continued fractions expansions and normality for base-$b$ expansions are maximally logically separate. In particular, the set of numbers that are normal with respect to the continued fraction expansion but not…
