We survey results concerning sharp estimates on volumes of sections and projections of certain convex bodies, mainly $\ell_p$ balls, by and onto lower dimensional subspaces. This subject emerged from geometry of numbers several decades ago…
This paper presents an offering of some of the myriad connections between Combinatorics and Probability, directed in particular toward combinatorialists. The choice of material was dictated by the author's own interests, tastes and…
This text is a survey of the general theory of stochastic processes, with a view towards random times and enlargements of filtrations. The first five chapters present standard materials, which were developed by the French probability school…
Some asymptotic notions for random variables are discussed. In particular, different versions of O and o for sequences of random variables are studied. The results are elementary and more or less well-known, but collected here for future…
We give a series of combinatorial results that can be obtained from any two collections (both indexed by $\Z\times \N$) of left and right pointing arrows that satisfy some natural relationship. When applied to certain self-interacting…
The theory of random real numbers is exceedingly well-developed, and fascinating from many points of view. It is also quite challenging mathematically. The present notes are intended as no more than a gateway to the larger theory. They…
We present a quantitative, statistical analysis of random lambda terms in the de Bruijn notation. Following an analytic approach using multivariate generating functions, we investigate the distribution of various combinatorial parameters of…
This article is an invitation. It is, first, an invitation to consider as a subject worthy of attention the wide range of situations where small discrete elements, either bubbles, droplets or solid particles, are embedded in turbulent…
Compound-nuclear processes play an important role for nuclear physics applications and are crucial for our understanding of the nuclear many-body problem. Despite intensive interest in this area, some of the available theoretical…
We develop a method that we call \emph{omission of intervals}, for establishing topological properties of subsets of the real line based on their combinatorial structure. Using this method, we obtain conceptual proofs of the fundamental…
This short note is an "elementary'' introduction to the conjectural theory of motives.
This note presents a discussion of the algebraic and combinatorial aspects of the theory of pure O-sequences. Various instances where pure O-sequences appear are described. Several open problems that deserve further investigation are also…

There is a lot of research on probabilistic transition systems. There are not many studies in probabilistic process models. The lack of investigation into the interactive aspect of probabilistic processes is mainly due to the difficulty…
The aim of this paper is to establish a theory of random variables on domains. Domain theory is a fundamental component of theoretical computer science, providing mathematical models of computational processes. Random variables are the…
This document presents a combinatorial framework for analyzing assembly systems using generating functions. We explore the theory through concrete examples, such as linear polymers, and develop recursive equations to characterize valid…
This work is a follow-up to our previous work "A numerical approach related to defect-type theories for some weakly random problems in homogenization" (preprint available on this archive). It extends and complements, both theoretically and…
Combinatorial Levy processes evolve on general state spaces of countable combinatorial structures. In this setting, the usual Levy process properties of stationary, independent increments are defined in an unconventional way in terms of the…
These lecture notes provide a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to the analysis of Wishart matrix moments. This study may act as an introduction to some particular aspects of random matrix theory, or as a self-contained exposition…
In this paper, we give an overview of some results concerning best and random approximation of convex bodies by polytopes. We explain how both are linked and see that random approximation is almost as good as best approximation.
