I am currently a post-doc at the Physics department at the University of Sao Paulo. My interests are in Statistical Physics, stochastic processes and magnetism. More importantly, I really value simple and solid explanations to important problems in any science.

comment Distance between discrete random variables
Hi @joriki. I really appreciate the answer, but not only did I not understand your argument, but computer simulations I have performed also show a clearly non-linear PMF. Also, in your explanation, where does the fact that there has been k draws enter? This is clearly relevant (taking, for instance, the extreme cases $k=1$ and $k=n$). Thanks again for the attention.

Yes. Uniformou, Butantã without juxtaposition or the results (not sure what the name for this is)

comment Conditions for the equivalence of $\mathbf A^T \mathbf A \mathbf x = \mathbf A^T \mathbf b$ and $\mathbf A \mathbf x = \mathbf b$
Note: $A^TAx=A^Tb$ is more well behaved and perhaps easier to solve. It is symmetric and positive definite (or perhaps semi-definite).

comment Approximate solution for the root of a non-linear function
Oh my! I am sorry Leonid, you are right. My mistake. The RHS may be both pos. and neg. I will correct that in the question.

comment Approximate solution for the root of a non-linear function
Hi, I really appreciate the answer. So: only the first root is of interest. The parameters are all positive and have the following usual ranges: $0<b<2$, $0<g<10$ and $0<\omega<10$. This is approximate, but shows they are not very different from one another. I will edit the question to post a slightly more general panorama of the question.

comment Variation of a simple random walk
Would you mind elaborating on that please? For me it is still not clear. For instance, what would the PMF be for finding the particle at position m after n steps? Same as a n/2 walk? And with what probability, 1/2? Thank you in advance.
