Let U be a Haar distributed matrix in 𝕌(n) or 𝕆(n). In a previous paper, we proved that after centering, the two-parameter process [Formula: see text] converges in distribution to the bivariate tied-down Brownian bridge. In the present paper, we replace the deterministic truncation of U by a random one, in which each row (respectively, column) is chosen with probability s (respectively, t) independently. We prove that the corresponding two-parameter process, after centering and normalization by n-1/2 converges to a Gaussian process. On the way we meet other interesting convergences.

International audience Let $\sigma$ be a random permutation chosen uniformly over the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$. We study a new "process-valued" statistic of $\sigma$, which appears in the domain of computational biology to construct tests of similarity between ordered lists of genes. More precisely, we consider the following "partial sums": $Y^{(n)}_{p,q} = \mathrm{card} \{1 \leq i \leq p : \sigma_i \leq q \}$ for $0 \leq p,q \leq n$. We show that a suitable normalization of $Y^{(n)}$ converges weakly to a bivariate tied down brownian bridge on $[0,1]^2$, i.e. a continuous centered gaussian process $X^{\infty}_{s,t}$ of covariance: $\mathbb{E}[X^{\infty}_{s,t}X^{\infty}_{s',t'}] = (min(s,s')-ss')(min(t,t')-tt')$.

Let W (s, t), s, t ≧ 0, be the two-parameter Yeh–Wiener process defined on the first quadrant of the plane, that is, a Gaussian process with independent increments in both directions. In this paper, a lower bound for the distribution of the supremum of W (s, t) over a rectangular region [0, S]×[0, T], for S, T > 0, is given. An upper bound for the same was known earlier, while its exact distribution is still unknown.

The centred, periodic, stationary Gaussian process X(z), ≧ z ≧ 1 with covariances , appears when one studies the solutions of the vibrating string equation forced by noise, corresponding to the case of a finite string with the extremes tied together. The close relationship between this process and a Brownian bridge permits us to compute the distribution of the maximum excursion of the string at particular times.

Daniels and Skyrme (1985) derived the joint distribution of the maximum, and the time at which it is attained, of a Brownian path superimposed on a parabolic curve near its maximum. In the present paper the results are extended to include Gaussian processes which behave locally like Brownian motion, or a process transformable to it, near the maximum of the mean path. This enables a wider class of practical problems to be dealt with. The results are used to obtain the asymptotic distribution of breaking load and extension of a bundle of fibres which can admit random slack or plastic yield, as suggested by Phoenix and Taylor (1973). Simulations confirm the approximations reasonably well. The method requires consideration not only of a Brownian bridge but also of an analogous process with covariance function t 1(1 + t 2), .
