We show here that a wide class of integral inequalities concerning functions on $[0,1]$ can be obtained by purely combinatorial methods. More precisely, we obtain modulus of continuity or other high order norm estimates for functions satisfying conditions of the type ${\int }_0^1{\int }_0^1\Psi \left(\frac{f\left(x\right)-f\left(y\right)}{p(x-y)}\right)dxdy\<\infty$ where $\Psi \left(u\right)$ and $p\left(u\right)$ are monotone increasing functions of $\left|u\right|$.Several applications are also derived. In particular these methods are shown to yield a new condition for path continuity of general stochastic processes

We study Brownian zeroes in the neighborhood of which one can observe a non-typical growth rate of Brownian excursions. We interpret the multifractal curve for the Brownian zeroes calculated in [6] as the Hausdorff dimension of certain sets. This provides an example of the multifractal analysis of a statistically self-similar random fractal when both the spacing and the size of the corresponding nested sets are random.

Multifractional Processes with Random Exponent (MPRE) are obtained by replacing the Hurst parameter of Fractional Brownian Motion (FBM) with a stochastic process. This process need not be independent of the white noise generating the FBM. MPREs can be conveniently represented as random wavelet series. We will use this type of representation to study their Hölder regularity and their self-similarity.

By using a wavelet method we prove that the harmonisable-type N-parameter multifractional brownian motion (mfBm) is a locally nondeterministic gaussian random field. This nice property then allows us to establish joint continuity of the local times of an (N, d)-mfBm and to obtain some new results concerning its sample path behavior.

We consider processes Xₜ with values in $L_p(\Omega ,ℱ,P)$ and “time” index t in a subset A of the unit cube. A natural condition of boundedness of increments is assumed. We give a full characterization of the domains A for which all such processes are a.e. continuous. We use the notion of Talagrand’s majorizing measure as well as geometrical Paszkiewicz-type characteristics of the set A. A majorizing measure is constructed.

Assume ||·|| is a norm on ℝⁿ and ||·||⁎ its dual. Consider the closed ball $T:=B_{\left|\right|·\left|\right|}(0,r)$, r > 0. Suppose φ is an Orlicz function and ψ its conjugate. We prove that for arbitrary A,B > 0 and for each Lipschitz function f on T, $su{p}_{s,t\in T}|f\left(s\right)-f\left(t\right)|\le 6AB({\int }_0^r\psi (1/A{\epsilon }^{n-1}){\epsilon }^{n-1}d\epsilon +1/\left(n\right|B_{\left|\right|·\left|\right|}(0,1)\left|\right){\int }_T\phi (1/B||\nabla f\left(u\right)\left|\right|⁎\left)du\right)$, where |·| is the Lebesgue measure on ℝⁿ. This is a strengthening of the Sobolev inequality obtained by M. Talagrand. We use this inequality to state, for a given concave, strictly increasing function η: ℝ₊ → ℝ with η(0) = 0, a necessary and sufficient condition on φ so that each...

We show that Billard's theorem on a.s. uniform convergence of random Fourier series with independent symmetric coefficients is not true when the coefficients are only assumed to be centered independent. We give some necessary or sufficient conditions to ensure the validity of Billard's theorem in the centered case.

In this paper we consider processes Xₜ with values in $L^p$, p ≥ 1 on subsets T of a unit cube in ℝⁿ satisfying a natural condition of boundedness of increments, i.e. a process has bounded increments if for some non-decreasing f: ℝ₊ → ℝ₊ ||Xₜ-Xₛ||ₚ ≤ f(||t-s||), s,t ∈ T. We give a sufficient criterion for a.s. continuity of all processes with bounded increments on subsets of a given set T. This criterion turns out to be necessary for a wide class of functions f. We use a geometrical Paszkiewicz-type...
