The Bernoulli clock: probabilistic and combinatorial interpretations of the Bernoulli polynomials by circular convolution

Yassine El Maazouz, Jim Pitman

The factorially normalized Bernoulli polynomials are known to be characterized by and for is the antiderivative of su…

The range of a self-similar additive gamma process is a scale invariant Poisson point process

Jim Pitman, Zhiyi You

It is shown that for a non-decreasing self-similar stochastic process with independent increments, the range of forms a Poisson point process with -finite intensity if a…

Hidden symmetries and limit laws in the extreme order statistics of the Laplace random walk

Jim Pitman, Wenpin Tang

This paper is concerned with the limit laws of the extreme order statistics derived from a symmetric Laplace walk. We provide two different descriptions of the point process of the…

Stationary 1-dependent Counting Processes: from Runs to Bivariate Generating Functions

Jim Pitman, Zhiyi You

We give a formula for the bivariate generating function of a stationary 1-dependent counting process in terms of its run probability generating function, with a probabilistic proof…

Markovian structure in the concave majorant of Brownian motion

Mehdi Ouaki, Jim Pitman

The purpose of this paper is to highlight some hidden Markovian structure of the concave majorant of the Brownian motion. Several distributional identities are implied by the joint…

Extreme order statistics of random walks

Jim Pitman, Wenpin Tang

This paper is concerned with the limit theory of the extreme order statistics derived from random walks. We establish the joint convergence of the order statistics near the minimum…
