We show how to recover Euler's formula for $\zeta(2n)$, as well as $L_{\chi_4}(2n+1)$, for any integer $n$, from the knowledge of the density of the product $\mathbb{C}_1,\mathbb{C}_2\ldots,\mathbb{C}_k$, for any $k\geq 1$, where the $\mathbb{C}_i$'s are independent standard Cauchy variables.

Some probabilistic aspects of the number variance statistic are investigated. Infinite systems of independent Brownian motions and symmetric alpha-stable processes are used to construct explicit new examples of processes which exhibit both divergent and saturating number variance behaviour. We derive…

It is an unfortunate fact that two major issues including health and safety are not given as much importance as the issue persists. In this context road safety is also another important agenda for the developing countries and the situation…
