We consider a renewal process which models a cumulative shock model that fails when the accumulation of shocks up-crosses a certain threshold. The ratio limit properties of the probabilities of non-failure after n cumulative shocks are…
In a recent paper [1], it has been claimed that the outcomes of a quantum coin toss which is idealized as an infinite binary sequence is 1-random. We also defend the correctness of this claim and assert that the outcomes of quantum…
We show that as $T\to \infty$, for all $t\in [T,2T]$ outside of a set of measure $\mathrm{o}(T)$, $$ \int_{-(\log T)^{\theta}}^{(\log T)^{\theta}} |\zeta(\tfrac 12 + \mathrm{i} t + \mathrm{i} h)|^{\beta} \mathrm{d} h = (\log…
We consider the set of points visited by the random walk on the discrete torus $(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^d$, for $d \geq 3$, at times of order $uN^d$, for a parameter $u>0$ in the large-$N$ limit. We prove that the vacant set left by the…
We consider the random 2-satisfiability problem, in which each instance is a formula that is the conjunction of m clauses of the form (x or y), chosen uniformly at random from among all 2-clauses on n Boolean variables and their negations.…
Let $\Theta^{(n)}$ be a random vector uniformly distributed on the unit sphere $\mathbb S^{n-1}$ in $\mathbb R^n$. Consider the projection of the uniform distribution on the cube $[-1,1]^n$ to the line spanned by $\Theta^{(n)}$. The…
In each step of the overlapping cycles shuffle on $n$ cards, a fair coin is flipped which determines whether the $m$th card or the $n$th card is moved to the top of the deck. Angel, Peres, and Wilson showed the following interesting fact:…
For a system of N identical particles in a random pure state, there is a threshold k_0 = k_0(N) ~ N/5 such that two subsystems of k particles each typically share entanglement if k > k_0, and typically do not share entanglement if k < k_0.…
We study the probability distribution of a current flowing through a diffusive system connected to a pair of reservoirs at its two ends. Sufficient conditions for the occurrence of a host of possible phase transitions both in and out of…
We consider a dynamic programming problem with arbitrary state space and bounded rewards. Is it possible to define in an unique way a limit value for the problem, where the "patience" of the decision-maker tends to infinity ? We consider,…
This work has shown that at strict fulfilment of condition $\Delta m^2_{1 3} = \Delta m^2_{1 2} + \Delta m^2_{2 3}$ the expression for probability of $\nu_e \to \nu_e$ transitions $P_{\nu_e \to \nu_e}(t)$ is positively defined at every…
We develop a testing procedure for distinguishing between a long-range dependent time series and a weakly dependent time series with change-points in the mean. In the simplest case, under the null hypothesis the time series is weakly…
We perform a finite-time scaling analysis over the detrapping point of a three-state quantum walk on the line. The coin operator is parameterized by $\rho$ that controls the wavepacket spreading velocity. The input state prepared at the…
We study the late time exponential decay of the survival probability $S_\pm(t,a|x_0)\sim e^{-\theta(a)t}$, of a one-dimensional run and tumble particle starting from $x_0<a$ with an initial orientation $\sigma(0)=\pm 1$, under a confining…
The ensemble averaged power scattered in and out of lossless chaotic cavities decays as a power law in time for large times. In the case of a pulse with a finite duration, the power scattered from a single realization of a cavity closely…
We consider a time-dependent version of a P\'olya urn containing black and white balls. At each time $n$ a ball is drawn from the urn at random and replaced in the urn along with $\sigma_n$ additional balls of the same colour. The…
Moments of moments of the Riemann zeta function, defined by \[ \text{MoM}_T (k,\beta) = \frac{1}{T} \int_T^{2T} \left( \int_{ |h|\leq (\log T)^\theta}|\zeta(\tfrac{1}{2} + i t + ih)|^{2\beta} dh \right)^k dt \] where $k,\beta \geq 0$ and…
For a family of random intermittent dynamical systems with a superattracting fixed point we prove that a phase transition occurs between the existence of an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure and infinite measure depending…
It is our intention to provide via fractional calculus a generalization of the pure and compound Poisson processes, which are known to play a fundamental role in renewal theory, without and with reward, respectively. We first recall the…
We continue the study of renewal contact processes initiated in a companion paper, where we showed that if the tail of the interarrival distribution $\mu$ is heavier than $t^{-\alpha}$ for some $\alpha <1$ (plus auxiliary regularity…
