Geometrically strictly semistable laws as the limit laws

Marek T. Malinowski (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

A random variable X is geometrically infinitely divisible iff for every p ∈ (0,1) there exists random variable X p such that X = d k = 1 T ( p ) X p , k , where X p , k ’s are i.i.d. copies of X p , and random variable T(p) independent of X p , 1 , X p , 2 , . . . has geometric distribution with the parameter p. In the paper we give some new characterization of geometrically infinitely divisible distribution. The main results concern geometrically strictly semistable distributions which form a subset of geometrically infinitely divisible distributions....

Random ε-nets and embeddings in N

Y. Gordon, A. E. Litvak, A. Pajor, N. Tomczak-Jaegermann (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We show that, given an n-dimensional normed space X, a sequence of N = ( 8 / ε ) 2 n independent random vectors ( X i ) i = 1 N , uniformly distributed in the unit ball of X*, with high probability forms an ε-net for this unit ball. Thus the random linear map Γ : N defined by Γ x = ( x , X i ) i = 1 N embeds X in N with at most 1 + ε norm distortion. In the case X = ℓ₂ⁿ we obtain a random 1+ε-embedding into N with asymptotically best possible relation between N, n, and ε.

About the generating function of a left bounded integer-valued random variable

Charles Delorme, Jean-Marc Rinkel (2008)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We give a relation between the sign of the mean of an integer-valued, left bounded, random variable X and the number of zeros of 1 - Φ ( z ) inside the unit disk, where Φ is the generating function of X , under some mild conditions

Coherent randomness tests and computing the K -trivial sets

Laurent Bienvenu, Noam Greenberg, Antonín Kučera, André Nies, Dan Turetsky (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We introduce Oberwolfach randomness, a notion within Demuth’s framework of statistical tests with moving components; here the components’ movement has to be coherent across levels. We show that a ML-random set computes all K -trivial sets if and only if it is not Oberwolfach random, and indeed that there is a K -trivial set which is not computable from any Oberwolfach random set. We show that Oberwolfach random sets satisfy effective versions of almost-everywhere theorems of analysis,...

Complete convergence theorems for normed row sums from an array of rowwise pairwise negative quadrant dependent random variables with application to the dependent bootstrap

Andrew Rosalsky, Yongfeng Wu (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Let { X n , j , 1 j m ( n ) , n 1 } be an array of rowwise pairwise negative quadrant dependent mean 0 random variables and let 0 < b n . Conditions are given for j = 1 m ( n ) X n , j / b n 0 completely and for max 1 k m ( n ) | j = 1 k X n , j | / b n 0 completely. As an application of these results, we obtain a complete convergence theorem for the row sums j = 1 m ( n ) X n , j * of the dependent bootstrap samples { { X n , j * , 1 j m ( n ) } , n 1 } arising from a sequence of i.i.d. random variables { X n , n 1 } .

On the Law of Large Numbers for Nonmeasurable Identically Distributed Random Variables

Alexander R. Pruss (2013)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

Let Ω be a countable infinite product Ω of copies of the same probability space Ω₁, and let Ξₙ be the sequence of the coordinate projection functions from Ω to Ω₁. Let Ψ be a possibly nonmeasurable function from Ω₁ to ℝ, and let Xₙ(ω) = Ψ(Ξₙ(ω)). Then we can think of Xₙ as a sequence of independent but possibly nonmeasurable random variables on Ω. Let Sₙ = X₁ + ⋯ + Xₙ. By the ordinary Strong Law of Large Numbers, we almost surely have E * [ X ] l i m i n f S / n l i m s u p S / n E * [ X ] , where E * and E* are the lower and upper expectations....

Minimax nonparametric prediction

Maciej Wilczyński (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let U₀ be a random vector taking its values in a measurable space and having an unknown distribution P and let U₁,...,Uₙ and V , . . . , V m be independent, simple random samples from P of size n and m, respectively. Further, let z , . . . , z k be real-valued functions defined on the same space. Assuming that only the first sample is observed, we find a minimax predictor d⁰(n,U₁,...,Uₙ) of the vector Y m = j = 1 m ( z ( V j ) , . . . , z k ( V j ) ) T with respect to a quadratic errors loss function.

Giant component and vacant set for random walk on a discrete torus

Itai Benjamini, Alain-Sol Sznitman (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider random walk on a discrete torus E of side-length N , in sufficiently high dimension d . We investigate the percolative properties of the vacant set corresponding to the collection of sites which have not been visited by the walk up to time u N d . We show that when u is chosen small, as N tends to infinity, there is with overwhelming probability a unique connected component in the vacant set which contains segments of length const log N . Moreover, this connected component occupies a...

Random walks in ( + ) 2 with non-zero drift absorbed at the axes

Irina Kurkova, Kilian Raschel (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Spatially homogeneous random walks in ( + ) 2 with non-zero jump probabilities at distance at most 1 , with non-zero drift in the interior of the quadrant and absorbed when reaching the axes are studied. Absorption probabilities generating functions are obtained and the asymptotic of absorption probabilities along the axes is made explicit. The asymptotic of the Green functions is computed along all different infinite paths of states, in particular along those approaching the axes. ...

Modifications of the double arrow space and related Banach spaces C(K)

Witold Marciszewski (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We consider the class of compact spaces K A which are modifications of the well known double arrow space. The space K A is obtained from a closed subset K of the unit interval [0,1] by “splitting” points from a subset A ⊂ K. The class of all such spaces coincides with the class of separable linearly ordered compact spaces. We prove some results on the topological classification of K A spaces and on the isomorphic classification of the Banach spaces C ( K A ) .

The absolute continuity of the invariant measure of random iterated function systems with overlaps

Balázs Bárány, Tomas Persson (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider iterated function systems on the interval with random perturbation. Let Y ε be uniformly distributed in [1-ε,1+ ε] and let f i C 1 + α be contractions with fixpoints a i . We consider the iterated function system Y ε f i + a i ( 1 - Y ε ) i = 1 , where each of the maps is chosen with probability p i . It is shown that the invariant density is in L² and its L² norm does not grow faster than 1/√ε as ε vanishes. The proof relies on defining a piecewise hyperbolic dynamical system on the cube with an SRB-measure whose projection...

Positivity of integrated random walks

Vladislav Vysotsky (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

Take a centered random walk S n and consider the sequence of its partial sums A n : = i = 1 n S i . Suppose S 1 is in the domain of normal attraction of an α -stable law with 1 l t ; α 2 . Assuming that S 1 is either right-exponential (i.e. ( S 1 g t ; x | S 1 g t ; 0 ) = e - a x for some a g t ; 0 and all x g t ; 0 ) or right-continuous (skip free), we prove that { A 1 g t ; 0 , , A N g t ; 0 } C α N 1 / ( 2 α ) - 1 / 2 as N , where C α g t ; 0 depends on the distribution of the walk. We also consider a conditional version of this problem and study positivity of integrated discrete bridges.

On uniqueness of distribution of a random variable whose independent copies span a subspace in L p

S. Astashkin, F. Sukochev, D. Zanin (2015)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let 1 ≤ p < 2 and let L p = L p [ 0 , 1 ] be the classical L p -space of all (classes of) p-integrable functions on [0,1]. It is known that a sequence of independent copies of a mean zero random variable f L p spans in L p a subspace isomorphic to some Orlicz sequence space l M . We give precise connections between M and f and establish conditions under which the distribution of a random variable f L p whose independent copies span l M in L p is essentially unique.

Asymptotic behavior of a stochastic combustion growth process

Alejandro Ramírez, Vladas Sidoravicius (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We study a continuous time growth process on the d -dimensional hypercubic lattice 𝒵 d , which admits a phenomenological interpretation as the combustion reaction A + B 2 A , where A represents heat particles and B inert particles. This process can be described as an interacting particle system in the following way: at time 0 a simple symmetric continuous time random walk of total jump rate one begins to move from the origin of the hypercubic lattice; then, as soon as any random walk visits a site...

Universality of the asymptotics of the one-sided exit problem for integrated processes

Frank Aurzada, Steffen Dereich (2013)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We consider the one-sided exit problem – also called one-sided barrier problem – for ( α -fractionally) integrated random walks and Lévy processes. Our main result is that there exists a positive, non-increasing function α θ ( α ) such that the probability that any α -fractionally integrated centered Lévy processes (or random walk) with some finite exponential moment stays below a fixed level until time T behaves as T - θ ( α ) + o ( 1 ) for large T . We also investigate when the fixed level can be replaced by a different...

Counting linearly ordered spaces

Gerald Kuba (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

For a transfinite cardinal κ and i ∈ 0,1,2 let i ( κ ) be the class of all linearly ordered spaces X of size κ such that X is totally disconnected when i = 0, the topology of X is generated by a dense linear ordering of X when i = 1, and X is compact when i = 2. Thus every space in ℒ₁(κ) ∩ ℒ₂(κ) is connected and hence ℒ₁(κ) ∩ ℒ₂(κ) = ∅ if κ < 2 , and ℒ₀(κ) ∩ ℒ₁(κ) ∩ ℒ₂(κ) = ∅ for arbitrary κ. All spaces in ℒ₁(ℵ₀) are homeomorphic, while ℒ₂(ℵ₀) contains precisely ℵ₁ spaces up to homeomorphism. The...

On the geometry of proportional quotients of l m

Piotr Mankiewicz, Stanisław J. Szarek (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We compare various constructions of random proportional quotients of l m (i.e., with the dimension of the quotient roughly equal to a fixed proportion of m as m → ∞) and show that several of those constructions are equivalent. As a consequence of our approach we conclude that the most natural “geometric” models possess a number of asymptotically extremal properties, some of which were hitherto not known for any model.
