Local limit theorems for generalized scheme of allocation of particles into ordered cells

A generalized scheme of allocation of n particles into ordered cells (components). Some statements containing sufficient conditions for the weak convergence of the number of components with given cardinality and of the total number of components to the negative binomial distribution as n → ∞ are presented as hypotheses. Examples supporting the validity of these statements in particular cases are considered. For some examples we prove local limit theorems for the total number of components which partially generalize known results on the convergence of this distribution to the normal law.

Central and Local Limit Theorems for Numbers of the Tribonacci Triangle

In this research, we continue studying limit theorems for combinatorial numbers satisfying a class of triangular arrays. Using the general results of Hwang and Bender, we obtain a constructive proof of the central limit theorem, specifying the rate of convergence to the limiting (normal) distribution, as well as a new proof of the local limit theorem for the numbers of the tribonacci triangle.

Local limit theorems in relatively hyperbolic groups I: rough estimates

This is the first of a series of two papers dealing with local limit theorems in relatively hyperbolic groups. In this first paper, we prove rough estimates for the Green function. Along the way, we introduce the notion of relative automaticity which will be useful in both papers and we show that relatively hyperbolic groups are relatively automatic. We also define the notion of spectral positive recurrence for random walks on relatively hyperbolic groups. We then use our estimates for the Green function to prove that $p_n\asymp R^{-n}n^{-3/2}$ for spectrally positive-recurrent random walks, where $p_n$ is the probability of going back to the origin at time n and where R is the inverse of the spectral radius of the random walk.

Asymptotic normality in t-stack sortable permutations

In this paper, we show that the numbers of t-stack sortable n-permutations with k − 1 descents satisfy central and local limit theorems for t = 1, 2, n − 1 and n − 2. This result, in particular, gives an affirmative answer to Shapiro's question about the asymptotic normality of the Narayana numbers.
