We consider a totally monotone capacity on a Polish space and a sequence of bounded p.i.i.d. random variables. We show that, on a full set, any cluster point of empirical averages lies between the lower and the upper Choquet integrals of the random variables, provided either the random variables or the capacity are continuous.

Let $X$ be the branching particle diffusion corresponding to the operator $Lu+beta (u^{2}-u)$ on $Dsubseteq mathbb{R}^{d}$ (where $beta geq 0$ and $beta otequiv 0$). Let $lambda_{c}$ denote the generalized principal eigenvalue for the operator $L+beta $ on $D$ and assume that it is finite. When $lambda_{c}>0$ and $L+beta-lambda_{c}$ satisfies certain spectral theoretical conditions, we prove that the random measure $exp {-lambda_{c}t}X_{t}$ converges almost surely in the vague topology as $t$ tends to infinity. This result is motivated by a cluster of articles due to Asmussen and Hering dating from the mid-seventies as well as the more recent work concerning analogous results for superdiffusions of cite{ET,EW}. We extend significantly the results in cite{AH76,AH77} and include some key examples of the branching process literature. As far as the proofs are concerned, we appeal to modern techniques concerning martingales and `spine decompositions or `immortal particle pictures.
We prove a strong law of large numbers for the Newtonian capacity of a Wiener sausage in the critical dimension four.

This work considers a many-server queueing system in which customers with i.i.d., generally distributed service times enter service in the order of arrival. The dynamics of the system is represented in terms of a process that describes the total number of customers in the system, as well as a measure-valued process that keeps track of the ages of customers in service. Under mild assumptions on the service time distribution, as the number of servers goes to infinity, a law of large numbers (or fluid) limit is established for this pair of processes. The limit is characterised as the unique solution to a coupled pair of integral equations, which admits a fairly explicit representation. As a corollary, the fluid limits of several other functionals of interest, such as the waiting time, are also obtained. Furthermore, in the time-homogeneous setting, the fluid limit is shown to converge to its equilibrium. Along the way, some results of independent interest are obtained, including a continuous mapping result and a maximality property of the fluid limit. A motivation for studying these systems is that they arise as models of computer data systems and call centers.
For $1 le p < infty$, the Frechet $p$-mean of a probability distribution $mu$ on a metric space $(X,d)$ is the set $F_p(mu) := {arg,min}_{xin X}int_{X}d^p(x,y), dmu(y)$, which is taken to be empty if no minimizer exists. Given a sequence $(Y_i)_{i in mathbb{N}}$ of independent, identically distributed random samples from some probability measure $mu$ on $X$, the Frechet $p$-means of the empirical measures, $F_p(frac{1}{n}sum_{i=1}^{n}delta_{Y_i})$ form a sequence of random closed subsets of $X$. We investigate the senses in which this sequence of random closed sets and related objects converge almost surely as $n to infty$.
