We generalise the work of Cramér and Leadbetter, Ylvisaker and Ito on the level crossings of a stationary Gaussian process to multivariate processes. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the expected number of crossings E(C) of the boundary of a region of ℝp by a stationary vector stochastic process are obtained, along with an explicit formula for E(C) in the Gaussian case. A rigorous proof of Belyaev's integral formula for the factorial moments of the number of exits from a region of ℝp is given for a class of processes which includes Gaussian processes having a finite second order spectral moment matrix. Applications to χ2 processes are briefly considered.

A rational projective plane ([Formula: see text]) is a simply connected, smooth, closed manifold [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. An open problem is to classify the dimensions at which such a manifold exists. The Barge–Sullivan rational surgery realization theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions that include the Hattori–Stong integrality conditions on the Pontryagin numbers. In this paper, we simplify these conditions and combine them with the signature equation to give a single quadratic residue equation that determines whether a given dimension supports a [Formula: see text]. We then confirm the existence of a [Formula: see text] in two new dimensions and prove several non-existence results using factorization of the numerators of the divided Bernoulli numbers. We also resolve the existence question in the Spin case, and we discuss existence results for the more general class of rational projective spaces.

The stationary stochastic difference equation Xt = YtXt–1 + Wt is analyzed with emphasis on conditions ensuring that ||Xt||p <∞. Some general results are obtained and then applied to different classes of input processes {(Yt, Wt)}. Especially both necessary and sufficient conditions are given in the Gaussian case. We also obtain results concerning moments of products of dependent variables.

Consider the simply connected spring-mass system with partial mass connected to the ground. The inverse mode problem of constructing the physical elements of the system from two eigenpairs, the grounding spring stiffness and total mass of the system is considered. The necessary and sufficient conditions for constructing a physical realizable system with positive mass and stiffness elements are established. If these conditions are satisfied, the grounding spring-mass system may be constructed uniquely. The numerical methods and examples are given finally.

We consider a compact hyperbolic tetrahedron of a general type. It is a convex hull of four points called vertices in the hyperbolic space [Formula: see text]. It can be determined by the set of six edge lengths up to isometry. For further considerations, we use the notion of edge matrix of the tetrahedron formed by hyperbolic cosines of its edge lengths. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a tetrahedron in [Formula: see text]. Then we find relations between their dihedral angles and edge lengths in the form of a cosine rule. Finally, we obtain exact integral formula expressing the volume of a hyperbolic tetrahedron in terms of the edge lengths. The latter volume formula can be regarded as a new version of classical Sforza’s formula for the volume of a tetrahedron but in terms of the edge matrix instead of the Gram matrix.

Consider the rod on elastic foundation. Its discrete model is the simply connected spring-mass system with partial mass connected to the ground. The inverse mode problem of constructing the physical elements of the system from two eigenpairs, the spring stiffness of the system is considered. The necessary and sufficient conditions for constructing a physical realizable system with positive mass and stiffness elements are established. If these conditions are satisfied, the rod on the elastic foundation may be constructed uniquely. The numerical methods and examples are given finally.

We explore the asymptotic distributions of sequences of integer-valued additive functions defined on the symmetric group endowed with the Ewens probability measure as the order of the group increases. Applying the method of factorial moments, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the weak convergence of distributions to discrete laws. More attention is paid to the Poisson limit distribution. The particular case of the number-of-cycles function is analysed in more detail. The results can be applied to statistics defined on random permutation matrices.

AbstractWe consider the weak convergence of the set of strongly additive functions f(q) with rational argument q. It is assumed that f(p) and f(1/p) ∈ {0, 1} for all primes. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions of the convergence to the limit distribution. The proof is based on the method of factorial moments. Sieve results, and Halász's and Ruzsa's inequalities are used. We present a few examples of application of the given results to some sets of fractions.
