Let n points be distributed independently within a k-dimensional unit cube according to density f. At each point, construct a k-dimensional sphere of content an. Let V denote the vacancy, or ‘volume' not covered by the spheres. We derive asymptotic formulae for the mean and variance of V, as n → ∞and an → 0. The formulae separate naturally into three cases, corresponding to nan → 0, nan → a (0 < a <∞) and nan →∞, respectively. We apply the formulae to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for V/E(V) → 1 in L2.

AbstractThe mean value inequality is characteristic for upper semi-continuous functions to be subharmonic. Quasinearly subharmonic functions generalise subharmonic functions. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions under which subsets of balls are big enough for the characterisation of non-negative, quasinearly subharmonic functions by mean value inequalities. Similar result is obtained also for generalised mean value inequalities where, instead of balls, we consider arbitrary bounded sets, which have non-void interiors and instead of the volume of ball some functions depending on the radius of this ball.

We give relations between the Gauss map and the mean curvature vector field of a surface in the Euclidean unit n-sphere Sn. These relations are necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a surface in Sn with prescribed Gauss map and mean curvature vector field. We show that such surfaces can be expressed explicitly by using given data.

Let V denote the vacancy, or ‘volume' not covered by the spheres. We derive asymptotic formulae for the mean and variance of V, as n → ∞and an → 0. The formulae separate naturally into three cases, corresponding to nan → 0, nan → a (0 &lt; a &lt;∞) and nan →∞, respectively. We apply the formulae to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for V/E(V) → 1 in L2.

A population process is considered where particles reproduce according to an age-dependent branching process, and are subjected to disasters which occur at the epochs of an independent renewal process. Each particle alive at the time of a disaster, survives it with probability p and the survival of any particle is assumed independent of the survival of any other particle. The asymptotic behavior of the mean of the process is determined and as a consequence, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for extinction.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj&gt; 0 for eachj&gt; 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.
