A succinct series expression is derived for describing the limit distribution of the number of times r consecutive elements are all records (in a sequence of independent and ident...
— In this paper, a family of low-density parity-check (LDPC) degree distributions, whose decoding threshold on the binary erasure channel (BEC) admits a simple closed form, is pr...
We propose a new method for calculating a tight approximation to the distribution of the sum of independent lognormal random variables. We make use of a three
