(THE CONVERSATION) Probability underpins AI, cryptography and statistics. However, as the philosopher Bertrand Russell said, “Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as ...

Provided content. One ball on a Plinko board is unpredictable. Drop a thousand and they form a near-perfect bell curve—one of math’s most powerful ideas for 150+ years.

George Pólya’s random walk theorem absolved him of being a lurker and revealed how the laws of chance interact with physical ...

Mathematicians from the California Institute of Technology have solved an old problem related to a mathematical process called a random walk.

Probability theory describes the likelihood of different outcomes or distinct results from chance processes (sometimes referred to as experiments.) The set of all the possible outcomes of an ...

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the coverage performance of a reference user equipment (UE) in a finite network of multiple three-dimensional (3D) mobile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Abstract: We find the exact rate for convergence in probability of products of independent, identically distributed symmetric, stochastic matrices. It is well-known that if the matrices have positive ...
