Topics on Meixner families

Marek Bożejko, Nizar Demni (2010)

Banach Center Publications

We shed some light on the inter-connections between different characterizations leading to the classical Meixner family. This allows us to give free analogs of both Sheffer's and Al-Salam and Chihara's characterizations in the classical case by the use of the free derivative operator. The paper closes with a discussion of the q-deformed case, |q| < 1.

Toward the best constant factor for the Rademacher-Gaussian tail comparison

Iosif Pinelis (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

It is proved that the best constant factor in the Rademacher-Gaussian tail comparison is between two explicitly defined absolute constants c1 and c2 such that c2≈1.01 c1. A discussion of relative merits of this result versus limit theorems is given.

Transformations preserving the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension

Sergio Albeverio, Mykola Pratsiovytyi, Grygoriy Torbin (2008)

Open Mathematics

Continuous transformations preserving the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension (“DP-transformations”) of every subset of R 1 resp. [0, 1] are studied. A class of distribution functions of random variables with independent s-adic digits is analyzed. Necessary and sufficient conditions for dimension preservation under functions which are distribution functions of random variables with independent s-adic digits are found. In particular, it is proven that any strictly increasing absolutely continuous distribution...

Transience of algebraic varieties in linear groups - applications to generic Zariski density

Richard Aoun (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the transience of algebraic varieties in linear groups. In particular, we show that a “non elementary” random walk in S L 2 ( ) escapes exponentially fast from every proper algebraic subvariety. We also treat the case where the random walk takes place in the real points of a semisimple split algebraic group and show such a result for a wide family of random walks.As an application, we prove that generic subgroups (in some sense) of linear groups are Zariski dense.

Transience/recurrence and the speed of a one-dimensional random walk in a “have your cookie and eat it” environment

Ross G. Pinsky (2010)

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

Consider a variant of the simple random walk on the integers, with the following transition mechanism. At each site x, the probability of jumping to the right is ω(x)∈[½, 1), until the first time the process jumps to the left from site x, from which time onward the probability of jumping to the right is ½. We investigate the transience/recurrence properties of this process in both deterministic and stationary, ergodic environments {ω(x)}x∈Z. In deterministic environments, we also study the speed...

Transient random walk in 2 with stationary orientations

Françoise Pène (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this paper, we extend a result of Campanino and Pétritis [Markov Process. Relat. Fields 9 (2003) 391–412]. We study a random walk in 2 with random orientations. We suppose that the orientation of the kth floor is given by ξ k , where ( ξ k ) k is a stationary sequence of random variables. Once the environment fixed, the random walk can go either up or down or can stay in the present floor (but moving with respect to its orientation). This model was introduced by Campanino and Pétritis in [Markov Process....
