In this paper, we consider a piecewise deterministic Markov process (PDMP), with known flow and deterministic transition measure, and unknown jump rate $\lambda$. To estimate nonparametrically the jump rate, we first construct an adaptive…

Let $n$ and $k$ be positive integers with $n>k$. Given a permutation $(\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n)$ of integers $1,\ldots,n$, we consider $k$-consecutive sums of $\pi$, i.e., $s_i:=\sum_{j=0}^{k-1}\pi_{i+j}$ for $i=1,\ldots,n$, where we let…

We investigate dynamical properties of the set of permutations of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with restricted movement, i.e., permutations $\pi $ of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ such that $\pi (\mathbf{n})-\mathbf{n}$ lies, for every $\mathbf{n}\in \mathbb{Z}^d$, in…

The shortest distance between the first $n$ iterates of a typical point can be quantified with a log rule for some dynamical systems admitting Gibbs measures. We show this in two settings. For topologically mixing Markov shifts with at most…

A permutation array(or code) of length $n$ and distance $d$, denoted by $(n,d)$ PA, is a set of permutations $C$ from some fixed set of $n$ elements such that the Hamming distance between distinct members $\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}\in C$ is at…

We investigate the minimal error in approximating a general probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ by the uniform measure on a finite set with prescribed cardinality $n$. The error is measured in the $p$-Wasserstein distance. In…

Let $S_{\rm div}(n)$ denote the set of permutations $\pi$ of $n$ such that for each $1\leq j \leq n$ either $j \mid \pi(j)$ or $\pi(j) \mid j$. These permutations can also be viewed as vertex-disjoint directed cycle covers of the divisor…

For a given permutation $\pi_n$ in $S_n$, a random permutation graph is formed by including an edge between two vertices $i$ and $j$ if and only if $(i - j) (\pi_n(i) - \pi_n (j)) < 0$. In this paper, we study various statistics of random…

Given a generator set $S$ of the symmetric group ${\rm{Sym}}_n$, every permutation $\pi\in {\rm{Sym}_n}$ is a word (product of elements) of $S$. A positive integer $d(\pi)$ is associated with each $\pi\in{\rm{Sym}_n}$ taking the length of…

Let $S_{\rm lcm}(n)$ denote the set of permutations $\pi$ of $[n]=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ such that ${\rm lcm}[j,\pi(j)]\le n$ for each $j\in[n]$. Further, let $S_{\rm div}(n)$ denote the number of permutations $\pi$ of $[n]$ such that…

We study the expected distance of short uniform random walks in arbitrary dimensions with unit steps in random directions. It is known that for dimensions $d=2$ and $d=4$, all the moments of an $m$-step walk are integer. While for $d=2$,…

In this paper, we study permutations $\pi \in S_n$ with exactly $m$ transpositions. In particular, we are interested in the expected value of $\pi(1)$ when such permutations are chosen uniformly at random. When $n$ is even, this expected…

Given a real number beta>1, a permutation pi of length n is realized by the beta-shift if there is some x in [0,1] such that the relative order of the sequence x,f(x),...,f^{n-1}(x), where f(x) is the factional part of beta*x, is the same…

We consider estimation of a step function $f$ from noisy observations of a deconvolution $\phi*f$, where $\phi$ is some bounded $L_1$-function. We use a penalized least squares estimator to reconstruct the signal $f$ from the observations,…

We consider a one-dimensional Brownian motion of fixed duration $T$. Using a path-integral technique, we compute exactly the probability distribution of the difference $\tau=t_{\min}-t_{\max}$ between the time $t_{\min}$ of the global…

A permutation graph is the intersection graph of a set of segments between two parallel lines. In other words, they are defined by a permutation $\pi$ on $n$ elements, such that $u$ and $v$ are adjacent if an only if $u<v$ but…

Let $M_n$ be the minimal position at generation $n$, of a real-valued branching random walk in the boundary case. As $n \to \infty$, $M_n- {3 \over 2} \log n$ is tight (see [1][9][2]). We establish here a law of iterated logarithm for the…

We study, in d-dimensions, the random walker with geometrically shrinking step sizes at each hop. We emphasize the integrated quantities such as expectation values, cumulants and moments rather than a direct study of the probability…

Let $X$ be the constrained random walk on ${\mathbb Z}_+^2$ having increments $(1,0)$, $(-1,1)$, $(0,-1)$ with jump probabilities $\lambda(M_k)$, $\mu_1(M_k)$, and $\mu_2(M_k)$ where $M$ is an irreducible aperiodic finite state Markov…

In the infinite regular tree $\mathbb{T}_{q+1}$ with $q \in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 2}$, we consider families $\{\mu_u^n\}$, indexed by vertices $u$ and nonnegative integers ("discrete time steps") $n$, of probability measures such that $\mu_u^n(v)…
