A random process of reciprocal translocation for a fixed number k of chromosomes (or arms) will have an equilibrium distribution of chromosome lengths. In this paper we calculate this distribution, by analytical means for k = 2 and partially for k = 3, and simulate the means of the marginal distributions for higher k. We compare this with a random (i.e., ahistorical) distribution of genomic DNA...

We consider the distributions of the lengths of the longest weakly increasing and strongly decreasing subsequences in words of length N from an alphabet of k letters. (In the limit as k → ∞ these become the corresponding distributions for permutations on N letters.) We find Toeplitz determinant representations for the exponential generating functions (on N) of these distribution functions and s...

In this paper, we derived recurrence relations for joint moment generating functions of nonadjacent generalized order statistics (GOS) of random samples drawn from doubly truncated class of continuous distributions. Recurrence relations for joint moments of nonadjacent GOS (ordinary order statistics (OOS) and k-upper records (k-RVs) as special cases) are obtained. Single and product moment gene...

The explicit solution to the spectral problem of quantum graphs found recently in [20], is used to produce the exact periodic orbit theory description for the probability distributions of spectral statistics, including the distribution for the nearest neighbor separations, s n = k n − k n−1 , and the distribution of the spectral oscillations around the average, δk n = k n − ¯ k n .
