The purpose of this paper is to analyze the so-called backoff tech- nique of the IEEE 802.11 protocol with buffers. This protocol rules the trans- missions on a radio channel between nodes (or stations) of a network exchanging packets of information. In contrast to existing models, packets arriving at a sta- tion which in the backoff state are not discarded, but are stored in a buffer of in nite capacity. The backoff state corresponds to the number of time-intervals (mini-slot) that a node must wait before its packet is actually transmitted. As in previous studies, the key point of our analysis hinges on the assumption that the time on the radio channel is viewed as a random succession of trans- mission slots (whose duration corresponds to a packet transmission time) and mini-slots, which stand for the time intervals during which the backoff of the station is decremented. During these mini-slots the channel is idle, which im- plies that there is no packet transmission. These events occur independently with given probabilities, and the external arrivals of messages follow a Pois- son process. The state of a node is represented by a three-dimensional Markov chain in discrete-time, formed by the triple (backoff counter, number of packets at the station, number of transmission attempts). Stability (ergodicity) condi- tions are obtained for an arbitrary station and interpreted in terms of maximum throughput. Several approximations related to these models are also discussed.

We prove a uniform exponential localization of eigenfunctions and simplicity of spectrum for a class of limit-periodic lattice Schr¨odinger operators. An important ingredient of the proof is a generalized variant of the well-known Minami estimates (correlation inequalities for the eigenvalues) to the case where the spectral intervals can be arbitrarily placed in the real line. The new corre- lation inequalities allow us to substantially simplify and make more transparent the application of the KAM (Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser) techniques.

Can a local disaster lead to extinction? We answer this question in this work. In the paper [19] we considered contact processes on locally compact metric spaces with state dependent birth and death rates and formulated suf- ficient conditions on the rates that ensure the existence of invariant measures. One of the crucial conditions in [19] was the critical regime condition, which meant the existence of a balance between birth and death rates in average. In the present work, we reject the criticality condition and suppose that the bal- ance condition is violated. This implies that the evolution of the correlation functions of the contact model under consideration is determined by a nonlocal convolution type operator perturbed by a (negative) potential. We show that local peaks in mortality do not typically lead to extinction. We prove that a family of invariant measures exists even without the criticality condition and these measures can be described using the Feynman-Kac formula.

The symmetric birth and death stochastic process on the non-negative integers x ∈ Z + with polynomial rates x α , α ∈ [1, 2], x 6= 0, is studied. The process moves slowly and spends more time in the neighborhood of the state 0. We prove the convergence of the scaled process to a solution of stochastic differential equation without drift. Sticking phenomenon appears at the limiting process: trajectories, starting from any state, take finite time to reach 0 and remain there indefinitely.

The relativistic equations of gravitation and electromagnetism in the form of Vlasov – Einstein – Maxwell equations are proposed and analyzed. For weakly relativistic equations we get an analog of Mealn – McCree solution. We also study Lagrange points in non-relativistic case with Einstein lambda- term.

The paper deals with periodic homogenization problem for a para- bolic equation whose elliptic part is a convolution type operator with rapidly oscillating coefficients. It is assumed that the coefficients are rapidly oscillating periodic functions both in spatial and temporal variables and that the scal- ing is diffusive, that is, the scaling factor of the temporal variable is equal to the square of the scaling factor of the spatial variable. Under the assumption that the convolution kernel has a nite second moment and that the operator is symmetric in spatial variables we show that the equation under study ad- mits homogenization, and we prove that the limit operator is a second order differential parabolic operator with constant coefficients.

We consider a discrete-time random motion, Markov chain on the Poincaré disk. In the basic variant of the model a particle moves along certain circular arcs within the disk, its location is determined by a composition of random Möbius transformations. We exploit an isomorphism between the underlying group of Möbius transformations and to study the random motion through its relation to a one-dimensional random walk. More specifically, we show that key geometric characteristics of the random motion, such as Busemann functions and bipolar coordinates evaluated at its location, and hyperbolic distance from the origin, can be either explicitly computed or approximated in terms of the random walk. We also consider a variant of the model where the motion is not confined to a single arc, but rather the particle switches between arcs of a parabolic pencil of circles at random times.

Formulas are provided for the cumulants and the moments of the time T back to the most recent common ancestor of the Kingman coalescent. It is shown that both the jth cumulant and the jth moment of T are linear combinations of the values ζ(2m), m ∈ {0, . . . , bj/2c}, of the Riemann zeta function ζ with integer coefficients. The proof is based on a solution of a two-dimensional recursion with countably many initial values. A closely related strong convergence result for the tree length Ln of the Kingman coalescent restricted to a sample of size n is derived. The results give reason to revisit the moments and central moments of the classical Gumbel distribution.
