The aim of this paper is to study genealogical processes in a geographically structured population with weak migration. The coalescence time for sampled genes from different colonies diverges to infinity as the migration rates among colonies are close to zero. We investigate the moment generating functions of the coalescence time, the number of segregating sites and the number of allele types in sampled genes when there is low migration. Employing a perturbation method, we obtain a system of recurrence relations for the approximate solutions of these moment generating functions and solve them in some cases.

By applying a perturbation method to the structured coalescent process in population genetics theory, we obtain the approximate solutions of the moment generating functions for the total coalescence time, the number of segregating sites among sampled DNA sequences and the number of allele types in a sample in the case of strong migration.

In the paper, some properties related to the moment generating function of a fuzzy variable are discussed based on uncertainty theory. And we obtain the result that the convergence of moment generating functions to an moment generating function implies convergence of credibility distribution functions. Thats, the moment generating function characterizes a credibility distribution.

We study a family of residual crank generating functions defined on overpartitions, the so-called [Formula: see text]th residual cranks. Specifically, the moment generating functions associated to these cranks exhibit quasimodularity properties which are dependent on the choice of [Formula: see text]. We also show that the second moments of these cranks admit a combinatoric interpretation as weighted overpartition counts. This interpretation gives a refinement to an existing inequality between crank moments of differing modulus [Formula: see text].

The exact expressions and some recurrence relations are derived for marginal and joint moment generating functions of kth lower record values from Topp-Leone Generated (TLG) Exponential distribution. This distribution is characterized by using the recurrence relation of the marginal moment generating function of kth lower record values.
