Probabilistic approach spaces

Gunther Jäger (2017)

Mathematica Bohemica

We study a probabilistic generalization of Lowen's approach spaces. Such a probabilistic approach space is defined in terms of a probabilistic distance which assigns to a point and a subset a distance distribution function. We give a suitable axiom scheme and show that the resulting category is isomorphic to the category of left-continuous probabilistic topological convergence spaces and hence is a topological category. We further show that the category of Lowen's approach spaces is isomorphic to...

Random walks on co-compact fuchsian groups

Sébastien Gouëzel, Steven P. Lalley (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

It is proved that the Green’s function of a symmetric finite range random walk on a co-compact Fuchsian group decays exponentially in distance at the radius of convergence R . It is also shown that Ancona’s inequalities extend to  R , and therefore that the Martin boundary for  R -potentials coincides with the natural geometric boundary S 1 , and that the Martin kernel is uniformly Hölder continuous. Finally, this implies a local limit theorem for the transition probabilities: in the aperiodic case, p n ( x , y ) C x , y R - n n - 3 / 2 .

Simple fractions and linear decomposition of some convolutions of measures

Jolanta K. Misiewicz, Roger Cooke (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Every characteristic function φ can be written in the following way: φ(ξ) = 1/(h(ξ) + 1), where h(ξ) = ⎧ 1/φ(ξ) - 1 if φ(ξ) ≠ 0 ⎨ ⎩ ∞ if φ(ξ) = 0 This simple remark implies that every characteristic function can be treated as a simple fraction of the function h(ξ). In the paper, we consider a class C(φ) of all characteristic functions of the form φ a ( ξ ) = [ a / ( h ( ξ ) + a ) ] , where φ(ξ) is a fixed characteristic function. Using the well known theorem on simple fraction decomposition of rational functions we obtain that convolutions...

Some Borel measures associated with the generalized Collatz mapping

K. Matthews (1992)

Colloquium Mathematicae

This paper is a continuation of a recent paper [2], in which the authors studied some Markov matrices arising from a mapping T:ℤ → ℤ, which generalizes the famous 3x+1 mapping of Collatz. We extended T to a mapping of the polyadic numbers ^ and construct finitely many ergodic Borel measures on ^ which heuristically explain the limiting frequencies in congruence classes, observed for integer trajectories.
