Choose n random, independent points in R^d according to a fixed distribution. The convex hull of these points is a random polytope. In some cases, central limit theorems have been proven for the components of f-vectors of random polytopes…
Motivated by the omnipresence of extreme value distributions in limit theorems involving extremes of random processes, we adapt Stein's method to include these laws as possible target distributions. We do so by using the generator approach…
The aim of this paper is to present some properties of Choquet maximal Radon probability measures on compact, convex subsets of Hausdorff, locally convex, topological real vector spaces. Theorem 3.12 is the main result of the paper. While…
The objective of this paper is to extend an estimation method of parameters of the stable distributions in $\rd$ to the regularly varying tails distributions in an arbitrary cone. The consistency and the asymptotic normality of estimators…
We study the expected value of support functions of random polytopes in a certain direction, where the random polytope is given by independent random vectors uniformly distributed in an isotropic convex body. All results are obtained by an…
Sumset estimates, which provide bounds on the cardinality of sumsets of finite sets in a group, form an essential part of the toolkit of additive combinatorics. In recent years, probabilistic or entropic analogs of many of these…
We study "random surfaces," which are random real (or integer) valued functions on Z^d. The laws are determined by convex, nearest neighbor, difference potentials that are invariant under translation by a full-rank sublattice L of Z^d; they…
We study max-plus convexity in an Archimedean Riesz space $E$ with an order unit $\un$; the definition of max-plus convex sets is algebraic and we do not assume that $E$ has an {\it a priori} given topological structure. To the given unit…
An ordered hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered, and a convex geometric hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is cyclically ordered. Extremal problems for ordered and convex geometric graphs have a rich…
Consider a convex function that is invariant under an group of transformations. If it has a minimizer, does it also have an invariant minimizer? Variants of this problem appear in nonparametric statistics and in a number of adjacent fields.…
The lower-dimensional maximal polytopes associated with an iteration stable (STIT) tessellation in $\RR^d$ are considered. They arise in the spatio-temporal construction process of such a tessellation as intersections of $(d-1)$-dimensional…
We propose the following model of a random graph on n vertices. Let F be a distribution in R_+^{n(n-1)/2} with a coordinate for every pair i$ with 1 \le i,j \le n. Then G_{F,p} is the distribution on graphs with n vertices obtained by…
Recently W. Lao and M. Mayer [6], [7], [9] considered $U$-max - statistics, where instead of sum appears the maximum over the same set of indices. Such statistics often appear in stochastic geometry. The examples are given by the largest…
We prove the following type of discrete entropy monotonicity for sums of isotropic, log-concave, independent and identically distributed random vectors $X_1,\dots,X_{n+1}$ on $\mathbb{Z}^d$: $$ H(X_1+\cdots+X_{n+1}) \geq H(X_1+\cdots+X_{n})…
In this paper, we generalize the result on the average volume of random polytopes with vertices following beta distributionsto the case of non-identically distributed vectors. Specifically,we consider the convex hull of independent random…
The set of infinite-dimensional, symmetric stable tail dependence functions associated with exchangeable max-stable sequences of random variables with unit Fr\'echet margins is shown to be a simplex. Except for a single element, the…
Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system. Given a continuous vector-valued function $F \in C(X, \mathbb{R}^{d})$ called a potential we define its rotation set $R(F)$ as the set of integrals of $F$ with respect to all $T$-invariant…
We consider random polytopes in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space that are the convex hulls i.i.d. random points selected according to beta-prime distributions. These distributions are rotationally symmetric, heavy-tailed, and their…
The Coulomb energy of a charge that is uniformly distributed on some set is maximized (among sets of given volume) by balls. It is shown here that near-maximizers are close to balls.
In this paper, the 2-D random closed sets (RACS) are studied by means of the Feret diameter, also known as the caliper diameter. More specifically, it is shown that a 2-D symmetric convex RACS can be approximated as precisely as we want by…
