    Necessary conditions for characterization of laws via mixed sums

    SupposeX andY are independent and identically distributed, and independent ofU which satisfies 0≤U≤1. Recent work has centered on finding the lawsL(X) for whichXU(X+Y) where ℞ denotes equality in law. We show t...

    Characterizations, length-biasing, and infinite divisibility

    SupposeL(X) is the law of a positive random variableX, andZ is positive and independent ofX. Admissible solution pairs (L(X),L(Z)) are sought for the in-law equation

    Characterization of laws by balancing weighting against a binary operation

    LetL(X) be the law of a positive random variableX, andZ be positive and independent ofX. Solution pairs (L(X), L(Z)) are sought for the in-law equation ...

    Extreme order statistics on Galton-Watson trees

    This paper studies the asymptotic behaviour of extreme order statistics of i.i.d. random scores ascribed to each individual in a Galton-Watson family tree. Of interest is the asymptotic behaviour of the order ...

    Criteria for Convergence of the Number of Near Maxima for Long Tails

    Let M n denote the maximum of a random sample of size n and K n (a) be the number of near maxima, i.e. the number of sample observations in the...

    Limit theorems for numbers of near-records

    Observations occurring between successive record times and within a distance a > 0 of the current record value are called near-records. Limit theorems for the number ξ n

    Some properties of the exponential distribution class with applications to risk theory

    This paper derives some equivalent conditions for tail equivalence of a distribution G and the convolution G*H, where G belongs to the exponential distribution class and H is another distribution. This generalize...

    Limit theorems for record counts and times in the F α -scheme

    We determine the almost sure and central limiting behaviour of the number of records and record times for the F α -scheme. Elementary methods are used to obtain ...

    On relative stability and weighted laws of large numbers

    Weighted laws of large numbers are established for components which are independent copies of a positive relatively stable law and the weights comprise a regularly varying sequence. The index of regular variat...

    Structural properties of generalised Planck distributions

    A family of generalised Planck (GP) laws is defined and its structural properties explored. Sometimes subject to parameter restrictions, a GP law is a randomly scaled gamma law; it arises as the equilibrium la...
