This paper finds and analyzes a formula for the total variation distance between iterations of riffle shuffles and iterations of "cut and then riffle shuffle". This allo...
We consider the asymptotic behavior of the following model: balls are sequentially thrown into bins so that the probability that a bin with n balls obtains the next ball is propor...

We develop an analog of the exponential families of Wilf in which the label sets are finite dimensional vector spaces over a finite field rather than finite sets of positive integ...
We propose two alternative measures of the local irregularity of a graph in terms of its vertex degrees and relate these measures to the order and the global irregularity of the g...
Erdos posed the problem of how many random subsets need to be chosen from a set of n elements, each element appearing in each subset with probability p = 1/2, in order that at lea...
