We study the shrinking Pearson random walk in two dimensions and greater, in which the direction of the Nth is random and its length equals lambda^{N-1}, with lambda<1. As lambda increases past a critical value lambda_c, the endpoint…

Let $X_1,\ldots,X_N$, $N>n$, be independent random points in $\mathbb{R}^n$, distributed according to the so-called beta or beta-prime distribution, respectively. We establish threshold phenomena for the volume, intrinsic volumes, or more…

We develop almost-orthogonality principles for maximal functions associated with averages over line segments and directional singular integrals. Using them, we obtain sharp $L^2$-bounds for these maximal functions when the underlying…

In wireless networks, the knowledge of nodal distances is essential for several areas such as system configuration, performance analysis and protocol design. In order to evaluate distance distributions in random networks, the underlying…

We present a theory of particles, obeying intermediate statistics ("anyons"), interpolating between Bosons and Fermions, based on the principle of Detailed Balance. It is demonstrated that the scattering probabilities of identical particles…

The problem of determining the joint probability distributions for correlated random variables with pre-specified marginals is considered. When the joint distribution satisfying all the required conditions is not unique, the "most unbiased"…

We study the asymptotic zero distribution of type II multiple orthogonal polynomials associated with two Macdonald functions (modified Bessel functions of the second kind). Based on the four-term recurrence relation, it is shown that, after…

We study a natural analogue of Ulam's problem for random rooted trees distributed according to a Plancherel-type measure. This probability measure is closely related to the classical Plancherel measure on integer partitions. For a…

We study the velocity distribution function for inelastic Maxwell models, characterized by a Boltzmann equation with constant collision rate, independent of the energy of the colliding particles. By means of a nonlinear analysis of the…

We show that in a sample of size $n$ from a GEM$(0,\theta)$ random discrete distribution, the gaps $G_{i:n}:= X_{n-i+1:n} - X_{n-i:n}$ between order statistics $X_{1:n} \le \cdots \le X_{n:n}$ of the sample, with the convention $G_{n:n} :=…

Using generating functions techniques we develop a relation between the Hausdorff and spectral dimension of trees with a unique infinite spine. Furthermore, it is shown that if the outgrowths along the spine are independent and identically…

A fast and numerically stable algorithm is described for computing the discrete Hankel transform of order $0$ as well as evaluating Schl\"{o}milch and Fourier--Bessel expansions in $\mathcal{O}(N(\log N)^2/\log\!\log N)$ operations. The…

Let $G_n$ be a non-extensible, flexible closed curve of length $n$ in the 3-space $\R^3$ with $n$ particles $A_1$,...,$A_n$ evenly fixed (according to the arc length of $G_n$) on the curve. Let $f:(0, \infty)\to \R$ be an increasing and…

We prove optimal constant over root $n$ upper bounds for the maximal probabilities of $n$th convolution powers of discrete uniform distributions.

This note displays an interesting phenomenon for percentiles of independent but non-identical random variables. Let $X_1,\cdots,X_n$ be independent random variables obeying non-identical continuous distributions and $X^{(1)}\geq \cdots\geq…

We investigate the behavior of the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator $\hat{f}_n$ for a decreasing density $f$ near the boundaries of the support of $f$. We establish the limiting distribution of $\hat{f}_n(n^{-\alpha})$, where we…

The aim of this paper is to give a precise estimate on the tail probability of the visibility function in a germ-grain model: this function is defined as the length of the longest ray starting at the origin that does not intersect an…

We consider multivariable polynomials over a fixed number field, linear in some of the variables. For a system of such polynomials satisfying certain technical conditions we prove the existence of search bounds for simultaneous zeros with…

We study the maximal displacement of a one dimensional subcritical branching random walk initiated by a single particle at the origin. For each $n\in\mathbb{N},$ let $M_{n}$ be the rightmost position reached by the branching random walk up…

In this paper we consider the distribution of the maximum of a Gaussian field defined on non locally convex sets. Adler and Taylor or Aza\"\i s and Wschebor give the expansions in the locally convex case. The present paper generalizes their…
