Consider an interval of the real line (0, x), x > 0; and place in it a random subinterval S(x) defined by the random variables Xx and Yx, the position of the center of S(x) and the length of S(x). The set (0, x)– S(x) consists of two intervals of length δ and η. Let a > 0 be a fixed constant. If δ ≦ a, then a random interval S(δ) defined by Xδ, Yδ is placed in the interval of length δ. If δ < a, the placement of the second interval is not made. The same is done for the interval of length η. Continue to place non-intersecting random subintervals in (0, x), and require that the lengths of all the random subintervals be ≦ a. The process terminates after a finite number of steps when all the segments of (0, x) uncovered by random subintervals are of length < a. At this stage, we say that (0, x) is saturated. Define N(a, x) as the number of random subintervals that have been placed when the process terminates. We are interested in the asymptotic behavior of the moments of N(a, x), for large x.

Consider an interval of the real line (0, x), x &gt; 0; and place in it a random subinterval S(x) defined by the random variables Xx and Yx , the position of the center of S(x) and the length of S(x). The set (0, x)– S(x) consists of two intervals of length δ and η. Let a &gt; 0 be a fixed constant. If δ ≦ a, then a random interval S(δ) defined by Xδ, Yδ is placed in the interval of length δ. If δ &lt; a, the placement of the second interval is not made. The same is done for the interval of length η. Continue to place non-intersecting random subintervals in (0, x), and require that the lengths of all the random subintervals be ≦ a. The process terminates after a finite number of steps when all the segments of (0, x) uncovered by random subintervals are of length &lt; a. At this stage, we say that (0, x) is saturated.

According to the Heyde theorem the Gaussian distribution on the real line is characterized by the symmetry of the conditional distribution of one linear form of independent random variables given the other. We prove an analogue of this theorem for linear forms of two independent random variables taking values in an -adic solenoid containing no elements of order 2. Coefficients of the linear forms are topological automorphisms of the -adic solenoid.

Suppose F is a one-dimensional distribution function, that is, a function from the real line to the real line that is right-continuous and non-decreasing. For any such function F we shall write F{I} = F(b)– F(a) where I is the half-open interval (a, b]. Denote the k-fold convolution of F with itself by Fk* and let Now if z is a non-negative function we may form the convolution although Z may be infinite for some (and possibly all) points.

We show how the characteristic thermal effects found for a quantum field in space–time geometries admitting a causal horizon can be found in a simple quantum system living on the real line. The analysis we present is essentially group theoretic in nature: a thermal state emerges naturally when comparing representations of the group of affine transformations of the real line. The freedom in the choice of different notions of translation generators is the key to the one-dimensional Unruh effect we describe.

We consider a singular differential-difference operator Λ on the real line which generalizes the one-dimensional Cherednik operator. We construct transmutation operators between Λ and first-order regular differential-difference operators on ℝ. We exploit these transmutation operators, firstly to establish a Paley–Wiener theorem for the Fourier transform associated with Λ, and secondly to introduce a generalized convolution on ℝ tied to Λ.

We consider sufficient conditions for stochastic equivalence of convex ordered random variables. Our main results apply to all convex ordered distributions on the real line and improve on a recent result of Huang and Lin [8] for equality in distribution of convex ordered survival times. Illustrative applications include testing for equality in distribution with convex ordered alternatives and demonstrating several earlier results on stochastic equivalence as special cases.

We give a characterization of all those commutative groups which admit at least one absolutely nonmeasurable homomorphism into the real line (or into the one-dimensional torus). These are exactly those commutative groups (G, +) for which the quotient group G/G0 is uncountable, where G0 denotes the torsion subgroup of G.

AbstractA distribution on the real line has a continuous primitive integral if it is the distributional derivative of a function that is continuous on the extended real line. The space of distributions integrable in this sense is a Banach space that includes all functions integrable in the Lebesgue and Henstock–Kurzweil senses. The one-dimensional heat equation is considered with initial data that is integrable in the sense of the continuous primitive integral. Let Θ
