We investigate conditions for the existence of the limiting conditional distribution of a bivariate random vector when one component becomes large. We revisit the existing literature on the topic, and present some new sufficient conditions.…

This paper establishes novel fixed point theorems for Kannan-type and Chatterjea-type mappings in probabilistic cone metric spaces. By integrating probabilistic distance functions with cone-valued structures, we generalize classical fixed…

We establish common fixed point theorems for two pairs of weakly compatible self-mappings using an auxiliary function of two variables. Unlike classical results, our theorems do not assume continuity of the mappings and require completeness…

Conditional probabilities are a core concept in machine learning. For example, optimal prediction of a label $Y$ given an input $X$ corresponds to maximizing the conditional probability of $Y$ given $X$. A common approach to inference tasks…

In the present paper, some aspects of the finite-dimensional theory of set-inclusive generalized equations are studied. Set-inclusive generalized equations are problems arising in several contexts of optimization and variational analysis,…

We discuss a new stochastic ordering for the sequence of independent random variables. It generalizes the stochastic precedence order that is defined for two random variables to the case $n>2$. All conventional stochastic orders are…

This paper investigates new first-order optimality conditions for general optimization problems. These optimality conditions are stronger than the commonly used M-stationarity conditions and are in particular useful when the latter cannot…

We derive for generally covariant theories the generic dependency of observables on the original fields, corresponding to coordinate-dependent gauge fixings. This gauge choice is equivalent to a choice of intrinsically defined coordinates…

Finding a point in the intersection of a collection of closed convex sets, that is the convex feasibility problem, represents the main modeling strategy for many computational problems. In this paper we analyze new stochastic reformulations…

Set-valued quantiles for multivariate distributions with respect to a general convex cone are introduced which are based on a family of (univariate) distribution functions rather than on the joint distribution function. It is shown that…

This note defines cones in homotopy probability theory and demonstrates that a cone over a space is a reasonable replacement for the space. The homotopy Gaussian distribution in one variable is revisited as a cone on the ordinary Gaussian.

We consider the higher-order Markov Chain, and characterize the second order Markov chains admitting every probability distribution vector as a stationary vector. The result is used to construct Markov chains of higher-order with the same…

Considering a minimal number of assumptions and in the context of the timeless formalism, conditional probabilities are derived for subsequent measurements in the non-relativistic regime. Only unitary transformations are considered with…
