Consider a sequence of polynomials of bounded degree evaluated in independent Gaussian, Gamma or Beta random variables. We show that, if this sequence converges in law to a nonconstant distribution, then (i) the limit distribution is…
We perform a posteriori error analysis in the supremum norm for the quadratic discontinuous Galerkin method for the elliptic obstacle problem. We define two discrete sets (motivated by Gaddam, Gudi and Kamana [1]), one set having integral…
In turbulent thermal convection in cylindrical samples of aspect ratio \Gamma = D/L (D is the diameter and L the height) the Nusselt number Nu is enhanced when the sample is rotated about its vertical axis, because of the formation of Ekman…
We study the expanded mixed finite element method applied to degenerate parabolic equations with the Dirichlet boundary condition. The equation is considered a prototype of the nonlinear Forchheimer equation, a inverted to the nonlinear…
Models for extreme values are generally derived from limit results, which are meant to be good enough approximations when applied to finite samples. Depending on the speed of convergence of the process underlying the data, these…

We use the Stein-Chen method to study the extremal behaviour of the problem of extremes for univariate and bivariate geometric laws. We obtain a rate for the convergence to the Gumbel distribution of the law of the maximum of i. i. d.…
The point process of vertices of an iteration infinitely divisible or more specifically of an iteration stable random tessellation in the Euclidean plane is considered. We explicitly determine its covariance measure and its pair-correlation…
In this paper, we develop a new framework for constructing infeasible-start primal-dual methods for Conic Optimization. Our approach can be seen as a straightforward consequence of Gordan Theorem of Alternative. Given by the target upper…

This work presents error analysis for a finite element method applied to a two-dimensional singularly perturbed convection-diffusion turning point problem. Utilizing a layer-adapted Shishkin mesh, we prove uniform convergence in the maximum…
Robust covariance estimation is the following, well-studied problem in high dimensional statistics: given $N$ samples from a $d$-dimensional Gaussian $\mathcal{N}(\boldsymbol{0}, \Sigma)$, but where an $\varepsilon$-fraction of the samples…
Let $S_n$ be a random walk with i.i.d. increments which have zero mean and finite variance. For every $x\ge0$ we define the stopping time $\tau_x:=\inf\{n\ge1:x+S_n\le0\}$ and consider the probabilities $\mathbb{P}(x+S_n\ge y,\tau_x>n)$. We…
We consider a type of dependent percolation introduced by Aizenman and Grimmett, who showed that certain "enhancements" of independent (Bernoulli) percolation, called essential, make the percolation critical probability strictly smaller. In…
