On families of weakly dependent random variables

Tomasz Łuczak (2011)

Banach Center Publications

Let ( k ) be a family of random independent k-element subsets of [n] = 1,2,...,n and let ( ( k ) , ) = ( k ) ( ) denote a family of ℓ-element subsets of [n] such that the event that S belongs to ( k ) ( ) depends only on the edges of ( k ) contained in S. Then, the edges of ( k ) ( ) are ’weakly dependent’, say, the events that two given subsets S and T are in ( k ) ( ) are independent for vast majority of pairs S and T. In the paper we present some results on the structure of weakly dependent families of subsets obtained in this way. We also list...

On gaps in Rényi β -expansions of unity for β > 1 an algebraic number

Jean-Louis Verger-Gaugry (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let β > 1 be an algebraic number. We study the strings of zeros (“gaps”) in the Rényi β -expansion   d β ( 1 ) of unity which controls the set β of β -integers. Using a version of Liouville’s inequality which extends Mahler’s and Güting’s approximation theorems, the strings of zeros in d β ( 1 ) are shown to exhibit a “gappiness” asymptotically bounded above by   log ( M ( β ) ) / log ( β ) , where   M ( β )   is the Mahler measure of   β . The proof of this result provides in a natural way a new classification of algebraic numbers > 1 with classes called Q...
