Given a set of independent Poisson random variables with common mean, we study the distribution of their maximum and obtain an accurate asymptotic formula to locate the most probable value of the maximum. We verify our analytic results with…
A recurrence formula for absolute central moments of Poisson distribution is suggested.
We prove a probabilistic Fourier extension theorem that says Fourier extension holds when averaged over certain smooth Alpert multipliers. The proofs use smooth Alpert wavelets with the classical techniques of stationary phase and…
A counter-intuitive result of Gauss (formulae (1.6), (1.7) below) is made less mysterious by virtue of being generalized through the introduction of an additional parameter.
Given multiple orthogonal polynomials on the real line with respect to a system $\bm{\mu} = (\mu_1,\ldots,\mu_r)$, we investigate multiple orthogonal polynomials associated with any rational perturbation of the form $$…
A very simple and short proof of the polynomial matrix spectral factorization theorem (on the unit circle as well as on the real line) is presented, which relies on elementary complex analysis and linear algebra.
The classical Eulerian polynomials can be expanded in the basis $t^{k-1}(1+t)^{n+1-2k}$ ($1\leq k\leq\lfloor (n+1)/2\rfloor$) with positive integral coefficients. This formula implies both the symmetry and the unimodality of the Eulerian…
We construct an absolutely normal number whose continued fraction expansion is normal in the sense that it contains all finite patterns of partial quotients with the expected asymptotic frequency as given by the Gauss-Kuzmin measure. The…
Brannan showed that a normalized univalent polynomial of the form $P(z)=z+a_2 z^2+\ldots + a_{n-1}z^{n-1}+\frac{z^n}{n}$ is starlike if and only if $a_2=\ldots=a_{n-1}=0$. We give a new and simple proof of his result, showing further that…
We connect two a priori unrelated topics, theory of geodesically equivalent metrics in differential geometry, and theory of compatible infinite dimensional Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type in mathematical physics. Namely, we prove that…
We present new, exceptionally efficient proofs of Poisson--Dirichlet limit theorems for the scaled sizes of irreducible components of random elements in the classic combinatorial contexts of arbitrary assemblies, multisets, and selections,…
The problem of finding superintegrable Hamiltonians and their integrals of motion can be reduced to solving a series of compatibility equations that result from the overdetermination of the commutator or Poisson bracket relations. The…
We show that every real nonnegative polynomial $f$ can be approximated as closely as desired by a sequence of polynomials $\{f_\epsilon\}$ that are sums of squares. Each $f_\epsilon$ has a simple et explicit form in terms of $f$ and…
Statistical inference on the mean of a Poisson distribution is a fundamentally important problem with modern applications in, e.g., particle physics. The discreteness of the Poisson distribution makes this problem surprisingly challenging,…
Information theory is built on probability measures and by definition a probability measure has total mass 1. Probability measures are used to model uncertainty, and one may ask how important it is that the total mass is one. We claim that…
We prove that the minimum of the modulus of a random trigonometric polynomial with Gaussian coefficients, properly normalized, has limiting exponential distribution.
We prove a multidimensional Poisson limit theorem in free probability, and define joint free Poisson distributions in a non-commutative probability space. We define (compound) free Poisson process explicitly, similar to the definitions of…
If f is a polynomial with integer coefficients and q is an integer, we may regard f as a map from Z/qZ to Z/qZ. We show that the distribution of the (normalized) spacings between consecutive elements in the image of these maps becomes…
We exhibit a change of variables that maintains the Mahler measure of a given polynomial. This method leads to the construction of highly non-trivial polynomials with given Mahler measure and settles some conjectural numerical formulas due…
We consider the class $\mathcal{E}_t(Y)$ of Appell polynomials whose generating function is given by means of a real power $t$ of the moment generating function of a certain random variable $Y$. For such polynomials, we obtain explicit…
