Geometric infinite divisibility, stability, and self-similarity: an overview

Tomasz J. Kozubowski (2010)

Banach Center Publications

The concepts of geometric infinite divisibility and stability extend the classical properties of infinite divisibility and stability to geometric convolutions. In this setting, a random variable X is geometrically infinitely divisible if it can be expressed as a random sum of N p components for each p ∈ (0,1), where N p is a geometric random variable with mean 1/p, independent of the components. If the components have the same distribution as that of a rescaled X, then X is (strictly) geometric stable....

Geometric influences II: Correlation inequalities and noise sensitivity

Nathan Keller, Elchanan Mossel, Arnab Sen (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

In a recent paper, we presented a new definition of influences in product spaces of continuous distributions, and showed that analogues of the most fundamental results on discrete influences, such as the KKL theorem, hold for the new definition in Gaussian space. In this paper we prove Gaussian analogues of two of the central applications of influences: Talagrand’s lower bound on the correlation of increasing subsets of the discrete cube, and the Benjamini–Kalai–Schramm (BKS) noise sensitivity theorem....

Geometric probabilities for non convex lattices. II

Andrei Duma, Marius Stoka (2002)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

We solve problems of Buffon type for a lattice with elementary tile a nonconvex polygon, using as test bodies a line sigment and a circle.

Geometric Stable Laws Through Series Representations

Kozubowski, Tomasz, Podgórski, Krzysztof (1999)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Let (Xi ) be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, and let N be a geometric random variable independent of (Xi ). Geometric stable distributions are weak limits of (normalized) geometric compounds, SN = X1 + · · · + XN , when the mean of N converges to infinity. By an appropriate representation of the individual summands in SN we obtain series representation of the limiting geometric stable distribution. In addition, we study the asymptotic...
