A connection is made between the random turns model of vicious walkers and random permutations indexed by their increasing subsequences. Consequently the scaled distribution of the maximum displacements in a particular asymmeteric version of the model can be determined to be the same as the scaled distribution of the eigenvalues at the soft edge of the GUE. The scaling of the distribution gives...

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness results to the random fractional functional differential equations under assumptions more general than the Lipschitz type condition. Moreover, the distance between exact solution and appropriate solution, and the existence extremal solution of the problem is also considered.

OF THE DISSERTATION Random matrices and random boxes by Linh V. Tran Dissertation Director: Prof. Van Vu This thesis concerns two questions on random structures: the semi-circular law for adjacency matrix of regular random graph and the piercing number for random boxes. • Random matrices We proved in full generality the semi-circular law for random d-regular graph model in the case d tends to i...

We give a survey of some of the recent results on certain two-dimensional random growth models and their relation to random matrix theory, in particular to the Tracy-Widom distribution for the largest eigenvalue. The problems are related to that of finding the length of the longest increasing subsequence in a random permutation. We also give a new approach to certain results for the Schur measu...

In order to study the relationship between random Boolean sets and some explanatory variables, this paper introduces a Propagation model. This model can be applied when corresponding Poisson process of the Boolean model is related to explanatory variables and the random grains are not affected by these variables. An approximation for the likelihood is used to find pseudo-maximum likelihood esti...
