Mutant Number Laws and Infinite Divisibility
Axioms, 2022 Concepts of infinitely divisible distributions are reviewed and applied to mutant number distributions derived from the Lea-Coulson and other models which describe the Luria-Delbrück fluctuation test.

Infinite Divisibility in Stochastic Processes
Annals of Probability, 1979 It is shown that infinite divisibility of random variables, such as first passage times in a stochastic process, is often connected with the existence of an imbedded terminating renewal process. The idea is used to prove that for a continuous time Markov chain with two, three or four states all first passage times are infinitely divisible but for more ...

The Case for Infinite Divisibility
, 2004 Abstract Documents and examines the main arguments for the infinite divisibility of space found in the early modern literature (in figures such as Descartes, Hobbes, and Kant). Also surveys the criticisms of these arguments found among the small group of so‐called ‘ungeometrical philosophers’ (including Berkeley and neo‐Epicureans ...

Infinite Divisibility of Information [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2021 We study an information analogue of infinitely divisible probability distributions, where the i.i.d. sum is replaced by the joint distribution of an i.i.d. sequence. A random variable $X$ is called informationally infinitely divisible if, for any $n\ge1$, there exists an i.i.d.

The life and work of Olof Thorin (1912–2004); pp. 18–25 [PDF]
Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2008 This paper reviews Olof Thorinâs contributions to mathematical analysis, actuarial mathematics, and probability theory, though in reversed order. In probability theory he is known for his path-breaking work on infinite divisibility.

On the Accuracy of the Generalized Gamma Approximation to Generalized Negative Binomial Random Sums
Mathematics, 2021 We investigate the proximity in terms of zeta-structured metrics of generalized negative binomial random sums to generalized gamma distribution with the corresponding parameters, extending thus the zeta-structured estimates of the rate of convergence in ...

On infinite divisibility of a class of two-dimensional vectors in the second Wiener chaos
Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications, 2020 Infinite divisibility of a class of two-dimensional vectors with components in the second Wiener chaos is studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for infinite divisibility are presented as well as more easily verifiable sufficient conditions.

Mathematics, 2023 Hyperbolic complete monotonicity property (HCM) is a way to check if a distribution is a generalized gamma (GGC), hence is infinitely divisible. In this work, we illustrate to which extent the Mittag-Leffler functions Eα,α∈(0,2], enjoy the HCM property ...

On the Notion of Reproducibility and Its Full Implementation to Natural Exponential Families
Mathematics, 2021 Let F=Fθ:θ∈Θ⊂R be a family of probability distributions indexed by a parameter θ and let X1,⋯,Xn be i.i.d. r.v.’s with L(X1)=Fθ∈F. Then, F is said to be reproducible if for all θ∈Θ and n∈N, there exists a sequence (αn)n≥1 and a mapping gn:Θ→Θ,θ⟼gn(θ ...
