We develop a likelihood methodology which can be used to search for evidence of burst repetition in the BATSE catalog, and to study the properties of the repetition signal. We use a simplified model of burst repetition in which a number…

We derive a formula for the reliability of a $d$-dimensional consecutive-$k$-out-of-$n$:F system. That is, a formula for the probability that an $n_1 \times \ldots \times n_d$ array whose entries are (independently of each other) $0$ with…

By using the strong approximation, this paper establishes several limit results on the convergent rate of a infinite series of probabilities on the other law of iterated logarithm.

Remarks on mathematical proof and the practice of mathematics.

On the assumption of the Riemann hypothesis, we give explicit upper bounds on the difference between consecutive prime numbers.

Programs with randomization constructs is an active research topic, especially after the recent introduction of martingale-based analysis methods for their termination and runtimes. Unlike most of the existing works that focus on proving…

We prove that the lonely runner conjecture holds for eight runners. Our proof relies on a computer verification and on recent results that allow bounding the size of a minimal counterexample. We note that our approach also applies to the…

We derive new upper and lower bounds for probabilities that $r$ or at least $r$ from $n$ events occur. These bounds can turn to equalities. The method is discussed as well. It works for measurable space and measures with sign, too. We also…

A generalization of the law of total covariance is presented and proved.

This contribution derives from a rather extensive study on the foundations of probability. We start by discussing critically the two main models of the random event in Probability Theroy and cast light over a number of incongruities. We…

In this paper we consider a sequence of n coin tosses, whose outcome depends on the previous n-1 tosses. In particular, their distribution is not i.i.d. We compute the limiting distribution of this sequence using the method of images.

We claim to resolve the P=?NP problem via a formal argument for P=NP.

All the already known results on self descriptive numbers, together with the demonstration of the uniqueness for bases greater than 6, are here obtained through a systematic scheme of proof and not trial and error. The proof is also…

The assumption of elliptical symmetry has an important role in many theoretical developments and applications, hence it is of primary importance to be able to test whether that assumption actually holds true or not. Various tests have been…

By using the matrix formulation of the two-step approach to the distributions of runs, a recursive relation and an explicit expression are derived for the generating function of the joint distribution of rises and falls for multivariate…

We prove that the probability that a sum of independent random variables in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with bounded densities lies in a ball is maximized by taking uniform distributions on balls. This in turn generalizes a result by Rogozin on the…

We completely characterize when the free effective resistance of an infinite graph can be expressed in terms of simple hitting probabilities of the graphs random walk.

Definition of the number of prime numbers in the given interval

We study how well a real number can be approximated by sums of two or more rational numbers with denominators up to a certain size.

We consider an infinite system of particles in one dimension, each particle performs independant Sinai's random walk in random environment. Considering an instant $t$, large enough, we prove a result in probability showing that the…
