We determine the distributional behavior of products of free (in the sense of Voiculescu) identically distributed random variables. Analogies and differences with the classical theory of independent random variables are then discussed.

We describe the limit measures for some class of deformations of the free convolution, introduced by A. D. Krystek and Ł. J. Wojakowski. In particular, we provide a counterexample to a conjecture from their paper.

We shall prove the following statements: Given a sequence ${\left\{a_n\right\}}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ in a Banach space $𝐗$ enjoying the weak Banach-Saks property, there is a subsequence (or a permutation) ${\left\{b_n\right\}}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ of the sequence ${\left\{a_n\right\}}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ such that $$\underset{n\to \infty }{lim}\frac{1}{n}\sum _{j=1}^n{b}_j=a$$ whenever $a$ belongs to the closed convex hull of the set of weak limit points of ${\left\{a_n\right\}}_{n=1}^{\infty }$. In case $𝐗$ has the Banach-Saks property and ${\left\{a_n\right\}}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ is bounded the converse assertion holds too. A characterization of reflexive spaces in terms of limit points and cores of bounded sequences is also given. The motivation for the...

Based on an analytical approach to the definition of multiplicative free convolution on probability measures on the nonnegative line ℝ+ and on the unit circle $$𝕋$$ we prove analogs of limit theorems for nonidentically distributed random variables in classical Probability Theory.

By using the concepts of limited $p$-converging operators between two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, $L_p$-sets and $L_p$-limited sets in Banach spaces, we obtain some characterizations of these concepts relative to some well-known geometric properties of Banach spaces, such as $*$-Dunford–Pettis property of order $p$ and Pelczyński’s property of order $p$, $1\le p<\infty$.

If the minimum problem (${𝒫}_{\mathrm{\infty }}$) is the limit, in a variational sense, of a sequence of minimum problems with obstacles of the type $$\underset{u\ge {\varphi }_h}{\min }{\int }_{\mathrm{\Omega }}\left[f_h(x,Du)+a(x,u)\right]dx,$$ then (${𝒫}_{\mathrm{\infty }}$) can be written in the form $${𝒫}_{\infty }\underset{u}{min}\left\{{\int }_{\Omega }\left[f_{\infty }(x,Du)+a(x,u)\right]dx+{\int }_{\overline{\Omega }}{g}_{\infty }(x,\overline{u}\left(x\right))d{\mu }_{\infty }\left(x\right)\right\}$$ without any additional constraint.

Supposing that the metric space in question supports a fractional diffusion, we prove that after introducing an appropriate multiplicative factor, the Gagliardo seminorms ${\left|\right|f\left|\right|}_{W^{\sigma ,2}}$ of a function f ∈ L²(E,μ) have the property $1/Cℰ(f,f)\le lim in{f}_{\sigma \nearrow 1}{\left(1-\sigma \right)\left|\right|f\left|\right|}_{W^{\sigma ,2}}\le lim su{p}_{\sigma \nearrow 1}{\left(1-\sigma \right)\left|\right|f\left|\right|}_{W^{\sigma ,2}}\le Cℰ(f,f)$, where ℰ is the Dirichlet form relative to the fractional diffusion.
