โฆ Synopsis
The distribution of stochastically discounted sums (perpetuities) is studied. For Bernoulli-type variables a canonical representation of this distribution is obtained, and it is proven to be singular continuous. In the asymptotic setting of the change-point estimation problem the limiting behavior of the posterior distribution is shown to be given by two independent perpetuities.

The goal of this work is to study the static behaviour of a three-dimensional elastic beam when is subjected to a three-point bending test. In the first part, under suitable compatibility conditions on the applied forces and on the geometry of the beam, we will prove the existence of a unique soluti
