Of Minima and Maxima
Let h1, · · · , hn be positive integers. We study new sums m(h1, · · · , hn) = h1−1 ∑ r1=0 · · · hn−1 ∑ rn=0 min { r1 h1 , · · · , rn hn } and M(h1, · · · , hn) = h1−1 ∑ r1=0 · · · hn−1 ∑ rn=0 max { r1 h1 , · · · , rn hn } , the first of which times h1 · · ·hn is the number of lattice points in a pyramid of dimension n + 1. We show that m(h1, · · · , hn) (h1 − 1) · · · (hn − 1) = 1 + ∑ ∅6 =I⊆{1...
متن کاملA Note on Maxima in Random Walks
We give a combinatorial proof that a random walk attains a unique maximum with probability at least 1/2. For closed random walks with uniform step size, we recover Dwass’s count of the number of length ` walks attaining the maximum exactly k times. We also show that the probability that there is both a unique maximum and a unique minimum is asymptotically equal to 1 4 and that the probability t...
متن کاملA stochastic fixed point equation for weighted minima and maxima
Given any finite or countable collection of real numbers Tj , j ∈ J , we find all solutions F to the stochastic fixed point equation W d = inf j∈J TjWj , where W and the Wj , j ∈ J , are independent real-valued random variables with distribution F and d = means equality in distribution. The bulk of the necessary analysis is spent on the case when |J | ≥ 2 and all Tj are (strictly) positive. Non...
متن کاملA problem on maxima and rearrangements
1) By the rearrangement inequality, it is enough to prove this inequality when σ is the permutation (or, more precisely, one of the permutations) which makes the sequences (a1, a2, ..., an) and ( bσ(1), bσ(2), ..., bσ(n) ) equally sorted (because if we treat a1, a2, ..., an and b1, b2, ..., bn are constants, then this permutation σ maximizes the left hand side a1bσ(1)+a2bσ(2)+ ...+anbσ(n) of ou...
متن کاملa study on rate making and required reserves determination in reinsurance market: a simulation
reinsurance is widely recognized as an important instrument in the capital management of an insurance company as well as its risk management tool. this thesis is intended to determine premium rates for different types of reinsurance policies. also, given the fact that the reinsurance coverage of every company depends upon its reserves, so different types of reserves and the method of their calc...
