Random split of the interval [0,1]

B. Kopociński (2004)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We define two splitting procedures of the interval [0,1], one using uniformly distributed points on the chosen piece and the other splitting a piece in half. We also define two procedures for choosing the piece to be split; one chooses a piece with a probability proportional to its length and the other chooses each piece with equal probability. We analyse the probability distribution of the lengths of the pieces arising from these procedures.

On the product of triangular random variables

Mridula Garg, Sangeeta Choudhary, Saralees Nadarajah (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We derive the probability density function (pdf) for the product of three independent triangular random variables. It involves consideration of various cases and subcases. We obtain the pdf for one subcase and present the remaining cases in tabular form. We also indicate how to calculate the pdf for the product of n triangular random variables.

On d-finite tuples in random variable structures

Shichang Song (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove that the d-finite tuples in models of ARV are precisely the discrete random variables. Then, we apply d-finite tuples to the work by Keisler, Hoover, Fajardo, and Sun concerning saturated probability spaces. In particular, we strengthen a result in Keisler and Sun's recent paper.

Spin Glasses: A New Direction for Probability Theory?

Michel Talagrand (2000)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

Physicists have proposed a wealth of new ideas concerning the collective behavior of large families of random variables, in which they have discovered the emergence of new types of order. The quest for mathematically rigorous proofs of their conjectures is likely to challenge and stimulate probabilists for years to come.
