In this contribution we deal with a new mathematical description of the response of short-term coleoptile/hypocotyl expansion growth to temperature. Although the interest of both the bio-mechanical basis of elongation growth and temperature responses has been studied in plant biology and biophysics for a long time, yet the question of the mode of actions of temperature is very relevant and still open. Here we introduce a simple idea that the normal distribution, due to the central limit theorem (CLT), is able to report on temperature-dependent elongation growth. The numerical fittings for temperature affected growth are in good agreement with empirical data. We suggest that the observation concerning a crossover effect occurring in temperature driven elongation together with CLT leads to the formulation of a hypothesis about the possible universal character of such a description, supposedly for many plant species and families. We conclude with the statement that properly constructed equations of temperature affected growth, should possibly include a specific term proportional to exp[-((T-T0)/T0)<sup>2</sup>] with T0 corresponding to the temperature of the optimum growth.

The Central Limit Theorem

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the central limit theorem and the invariance principle for linear processes generated by a new notion of independently and identically distributed (IID) random variables for sub-linear expectations initiated by Peng [19]. It turns out that these theorems are natural and fairly neat extensions of the classical Kolmogorov’s central limit theorem and invariance principle to the case where probability measures are no longer additive.

AbstractPoisson processes in the space of $$(d-1)$$ ( d - 1 ) -dimensional totally geodesic subspaces (hyperplanes) in a d-dimensional hyperbolic space of constant curvature $$-1$$ - 1 are studied. The k-dimensional Hausdorff measure of their k-skeleton is considered. Explicit formulas for first- and second-order quantities restricted to bounded observation windows are obtained. The central limit problem for the k-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the k-skeleton is approached in two different set-ups: (i) for a fixed window and growing intensities, and (ii) for fixed intensity and growing spherical windows. While in case (i) the central limit theorem is valid for all $$d\ge 2$$ d ≥ 2 , it is shown that in case (ii) the central limit theorem holds for $$d\in \{2,3\}$$ d ∈ { 2 , 3 } and fails if $$d\ge 4$$ d ≥ 4 and $$k=d-1$$ k = d - 1 or if $$d\ge 7$$ d ≥ 7 and for general k. Also rates of convergence are studied and multivariate central limit theorems are obtained. Moreover, the situation in which the intensity and the spherical window are growing simultaneously is discussed. In the background are the Malliavin–Stein method for normal approximation and the combinatorial moment structure of Poisson U-statistics as well as tools from hyperbolic integral geometry.

Lowest-order cumulants provide important information on the shape of the emission source in femtoscopy. For the simple case of noninteracting identical particles, we show how the fourth-order source cumulant can be determined from measured cumulants in momentum space. The textbook Gram–Charlier series is found to be highly inaccurate, while the related Edgeworth series provides increasingly accurate estimates. Ordering of terms compatible with the Central Limit Theorem appears to play a crucial role even for non-Gaussian distributions.
