A remarkable identity involving $\chi^2$ random variables

I think I found an elementary proof of Question 2/3 for arbitrary probability distributions. In fact, it is not required that the components in the sums are squares, but general i.i.d. non-negative ra …

Direct proof for average property of union-closed family

Let $\mathcal{A} \subset 2^{\{1, 2, \dots, n\}}$ be a union-closed family of sets (i.e., for any $A, B \in \mathcal{A}$, also $A \cup B \in \mathcal{A}$). In this paper it is established that $$ \sum_ …
