We consider a percolation model on the d-dimensional Euclidean space which consists of spheres centred at the points of a Poisson point process of intensity ?. The radii of the spheres are random and are chosen independently and identically according to a distribution of a positive random variable. We show that the percolation function is continuous everywhere except perhaps at the critical point. Further, we show that the percolation functions converge to the appropriate percolation function except at the critical point when the radius random variables are uniformly bounded and converge weakly to another bounded random variable.

1. A type of problem which frequently occurs in probability theory and statistics can be formulated in the following way. We are given real-valued functions f(x), gi(x) (i = 1, 2, …, k) on a space (typically finite-dimensional Euclidean space). Then the problem is to set bounds for Ef(X), where X is a random variable taking values in , about which all we know is the values of Egi(X). For example, we might wish to set bounds for P(X > a), where X is a real random variable with some of its moments given.

The Radon transform maps a function on n-dimensional Euclidean space onto its integral over a hyperplane. The fields of modern computerized tomography and medical imaging are fundamentally based on the Radon transform and the computer implementation of the inversion, or reconstruction, techniques of the Radon transform. In this work we use the Radon transform with a Gaussian measure to recover random variables from their conditional expectations. We derive reconstruction algorithms for random variables of unbounded support from samples of conditional expectations and discuss the error inherent in each algorithm.

Let X1,…,Xn be negatively dependent uniformly bounded random variables with d.f. F(x). In this paper we obtain bounds for the probabilities P(|∑i=1nXi|≥nt) and P(|ξˆpn−ξp|>ϵ) where ξˆpn is the sample pth quantile and ξp is the pth quantile of F(x). Moreover, we show that ξˆpn is a strongly consistent estimator of ξp under mild restrictions on F(x) in the neighborhood of ξp. We also show that ξˆpn converges completely to ξp.

Abstract We give a characterization of all those groups of isometric transformations of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space, for which an analogue of the classical Vitali theorem [Sul problema della misura dei gruppi di punti di una retta, 1905] holds true. This characterization is formulated in purely geometrical terms.

ABSTRACTGeneral shift operators for angular momentum are obtained and applied to find closed expressions for some Wigner coefficients occurring in a transformation between two equivalent representations of the four-dimensional rotation group. The transformation gives rise to analytical relations between hyperspherical harmonics in a four-dimensional Euclidean space.

We study a parametric class of isotropic but not necessarily stationary Poisson hyperplane tessellations in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Our focus is on the volume of the zero cell, i.e. the cell containing the origin. As a main result, we obtain an explicit formula for the variance of the volume of the zero cell in arbitrary dimensions. From this formula we deduce the asymptotic behaviour of the volume of the zero cell as the dimension goes to ∞.
