Abstract Linear fractional Galton–Watson branching processes in i.i.d. random environment are, on the quenched level, intimately connected to random difference equations by the evolution of the random parameters of their linear fractional marginals. On the other hand, any random difference...

Reverse mortgage is a financial instrument that allows elderly homeowners to enjoy an additional income until the end of their lives, when the property is taken by the financial institution that provided the benefit. Based on data from the continuous PNAD of 2019 and considering the property...

Many US states now allow people to create private trusts that continue indefinitely. Is it unjust to permit settlors to benefit their descendants without temporal limitation? Although perpetual trusts might seem self-indulgent impositions on posterity, no leading theory of distributive justice...

We show that for every positive p, the Lp-norm of linear combinations (with scalar or vector coefficients) of products of i.i.d. random variables, whose moduli have a nondegenerate distribution with the p-norm one, is comparable to the lp-norm of the coefficients and the constants are explicit....

Recently, Wireless Mesh Network is deliberated as a significant technology due to its self-healing and self-organizing characteristics. In WMN, data is forwarded through multiple hops to the destination node. One of the factors that impact the network performance is the secure communication...

This article describes how nowadays, the learner-centered approach is becoming more and more popular by providing liberties to the learner to choose and study courses of interest. The common problem which persists among the researchers is that they do not exactly point out which subject or...
