On roots of random polynomials

We study the distribution of the complex roots of random polynomials of degree with i.i.d. coefficients. Using techniques related to Rice's treatment of the real roots question, we derive, under appropriate moment and regularity conditions, an exact formula for the average density of this distribution, which yields appropriate limit average densities. Further, using a different technique, we prove limit distribution results for coefficients in the domain of attraction of the stable law.

     

On Lower Tail Probabilities of Positive Random Sums

Let be a sequence of independent identically distributed positive random variables with O-regularly varying distribution F at 0. Given a sequence of positive numbers, we show that belongs to the Type I domain of attraction of extremes for minima, by means of relating the asymptotic behaviour of P{S < } as 0, to that of E{e^-S/}. Our contribution is that we dispense with the unnatural moment condition from the literature, that F has finite variance. This in turn permits a novel application to lower tails of -stable distributions on Hilbert space.AMS 2000 Subject Classification.

On the topological equivalence of some fuzzy flows near hyperbolic equilibria

The purpose of this work is to study fuzzy dynamical systems associated with deterministic systems. The Grobman-Hartman theorem states that, near hyperbolic equilibria, there exists a homeomorphism between the nonlinear system's trajectories and the linearized correspondent system's trajectories. That is, these systems are topologically equivalent. A theorem similar to Grobman-Hartman theorem to fuzzy flows is the main result in this article. For fuzzy flows obtained from each system it states that the nonlinear and the linearized are topologically equivalent.

On convergence of LAD estimates in autoregression with infinite variance

The least absolute deviation estimates L(N), from N data points, of the autoregressive constants a = (a₁, …, a_q)′ for a stationary autoregressive model, are shown to have the property that N^σ(L(N) ? a) converge to zero in probability, for $\text{σ <}\text{1}\text{α}$, where the disturbances are i.i.d., attracted to a stable law of index α, 1 ≤ α < 2, and satisfy some other conditions.     

Stable and Semistable Hemigroups: Domains of Attraction and Self-Decomposability

A hemigroup of probability measures builds the set of distributions of the increments of an independent increment process. Decomposability properties of the hemigroup lead to stable respectively semistable hemigroups and enable us to show that such hemigroups appear as limits of certain functional limit theorems for operator-normed independent (non-identically) distributed random vectors. Regular variation properties of the norming operators show that the functional limit theorems are closely related to limits of infinitesimal triangular arrays of independent random vectors, i.e., to operator-self-decomposable respectively operator-semi-self-decomposable laws.

Estimation of flows in flow networks

Let G be a directed graph with an unknown flow on each edge such that the following flow conservation constraint is maintained: except for sources and sinks, the sum of flows into a node equals the sum of flows going out of a node. Given a noisy measurement of the flow on each edge, the problem we address, which we call the Most Probable Flow Estimation problem (MPFE), is to estimate the most probable assignment of flow for every edge such that the flow conservation constraint is maintained. We provide an algorithm called ΔY-mpfe for solving the MPFE problem when the measurement error is Gaussian (Gaussian-MPFE). The algorithm works in O(∣E∣ + ∣V∣²) when the underlying undirected graph of G is a 2-connected planar graph, and in O(∣E∣ + ∣V∣) when it is a 2-connected serial-parallel graph or a tree. This result is applicable to any Minimum Cost Flow problem for which the cost function is τ_e(X_e − μ_e)² for edge e where μ_e and τ_e are constants, and X_e is the flow on edge e. We show that for all topologies, the Gaussian-MPFE’s precision for each edge is analogous to the equivalent resistance measured in series to this edge in an electrical network built by replacing every edge with a resistor reflecting the measurement’s precision on that edge.     

On the approximation of time one maps of Anosov flows by Axiom A diffeomorphisms

We prove that if 𝒻₁ is the time one map of a transitive and codimension one Anosov flow φ and it is C ¹-approximated by Axiom A diffeomorphisms satisfying a property called P, then the flow is topologically conjugated to the suspension of a codimension one Anosov diffeomorphism. A diffeomorphism 𝒻 satisfies property P if for every periodic point in M the number of periodic points in a fundamental domain of its central manifold is constant. Received: 15 March 2001     

On regular branching processes with infinite mean

A martingale, previously used to prove the classical almost sure convergence of the normed supercritical Galton-Watson branching process with finite mean without using probability generating functions, is here used to study similar behaviour for certain processes with infinite mean.     

On the strong circular 5‐flow conjecture

The Strong Circular 5‐flow Conjecture of Mohar claims that each snark—with the sole exception of the Petersen graph—has circular flow number smaller than 5. We disprove this conjecture by constructing an infinite family of cyclically 4‐edge connected snarks whose circular flow number equals 5. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory     

Existence and comparison results for nonlinear volterra integral equations in a banach space

Let L ⁰(ΩA,P) be the space of equivalent classes of random variables defined on a probability space (Ω,A,P). Let H be the closed subspace of L ⁰(Ω,A,P) spanned by a sequence of i.i.d. (independent and identically distributed) random variables having the symmetric nondegenerate law F. It is proved that H is linearly homeomorphic to l _p for 0<p≤2 if F belongs to the domain of normal attraction of symmetric stable law withexponent p.
