We consider a continuous-time supercritical symmetric branching random walk on a multidimensional graph with periodic particle generation sources. A logarithmic asymptotic formula is obtained for the moments of population sizes of particles at each vertex of the graph as ${ttoinfty}$.

In the same context as in the seminal paper [P. Cheridito, Bernoulli, 7 (2001), pp. 913--934], we are concerned with the semimartingale property of the sum of some Gaussian martingale and an independent fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H in (0,1)$. At the same time, we emphasize that the Markov property is lost even if the martingale owns it.

This paper provides series expansions for fractional Brownian motions on the unit ball and the unit sphere by means of ultraspherical polynomials and spherical harmonics. It establishes the property of strong local nondeterminism of isotropic Gaussian random fields on the unit sphere and that of fractional and bifractional Brownian motions on the unit ball and the unit sphere.

An interesting question is whether an information theoretic interpretation can be given of optimal algorithms in sequential hypothesis testing. We prove that for the binary sequential probability ratio test of a continuous observation process, the mutual information between the observation process up to the decision time and the actual hypothesis conditioned on the decision variable is equal to zero. This result can be interpreted as an optimal usage of the information on the hypothesis available in the observations by the sequential probability ratio test. As a consequence, the mutual information between the random decision time of the sequential probability ratio test and the actual hypothesis conditioned on the decision variable is also equal to zero.

A necessary and sufficient condition for Pitman's asymptotic relative efficiency of the Kendall and Spearman correlation statistics for the independence test to be $1$ is given, in terms of certain smoothness and nondegeneracy properties of the model. Corresponding easy-to-use and broadly applicable sufficient conditions are obtained. These conditions hold for most well-known models of dependence.

We study exchangeable random partitions based on an underlying Dickman subordinator and the corresponding family of Poisson--Dirichlet distributions. The large sample distribution of the vector representing the block sizes and the number of blocks in a partition of ${1,2,dots,n}$ is shown to be, after norming and centering, a product of independent Poissons and a normal distribution. In a species or gene sampling situation, these quantities represent the abundances and the numbers of species or genes observed in a sample of size $n$ from the corresponding Poisson--Dirichlet distribution. We include a summary of known convergence results concerning the Dickman subordinator in this context.

Given a distribution on the positive extended real line, the two-sided inverse first-passage time problem for Brownian motion asks for a function such that the first passage time of this function by a reflected Brownian motion has the given distribution. We combine the ideas of Ekström and Janson, which were developed within the scope of the one-sided inverse first-passage time problem, with the methods of De Masi et al., which were used in the context of free boundary problems, in order to give a different proof for the uniqueness for the two-sided inverse first-passage time problem by using a stochastic order relation. We provide criteria for qualitative properties of solutions of the inverse first-passage problem, which apply to the boundary corresponding to the exponential distribution.
