We theoretically study the Totally Asymmetric Exclusion Process (TASEP) with quenched jumping rates disorder and finite lifetime chain. TASEP is widely used to model the translation of messenger RNAs by Ribosomes in protein synthesis. Since…

This article deals with the hypothesis test for the extremely heavy-tailed distributions with infinite mean or variance by using a truncated sample mean. We obtain three necessary and sufficient conditions under which the asymptotic…
