Abstract
The generalized Pareto distribution has received much popularity as models for extreme events in hydrological sciences. In this note, the important problem of the sum of two independent generalized Pareto random variables is considered. Exact analytical expressions for the probability distribution of the sum are derived and a detailed application to drought data from Nebraska is provided. Copyright Β© 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract We present a simple iterative procedure for approximating the Pareto surface of a set __S__ and the only assumption is that __S__ is closed and bounded. The algorithm creates a sequence of upper bounds for the Pareto surface and these upper bounds tighten towards the surface as the numb
Let Q=[Q j ] j=0 be a strictly increasing sequence of integers with Q 0 =1 and such that each Q j is a divisor of Q j+1 . The sequence Q is a numeration system in the sense that every positive integer n has a unique ``base-Q'' representation of the form n= j 0 a j (n) Q j with ``digits'' a j (n) sat
