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

Random ε-nets and embeddings in $ℓ_{\infty}^{N}$

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 $Γ : ℝ \to ℝ^{N}$ defined by $Γ x = {(⟨ x, X_{i} ⟩)}_{i = 1}^{N}$ embeds X in $ℓ_{\infty}^{N}$ with at most 1 + ε norm distortion. In the case X = ℓ₂ⁿ we obtain a random 1+ε-embedding into $ℓ_{\infty}^{N}$ with asymptotically best possible relation between N, n, and ε.

The spread of a catalytic branching random walk

Philippe Carmona, Yueyun Hu (2014)

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

Similarity:

We consider a catalytic branching random walk on $ℤ$ that branches at the origin only. In the supercritical regime we establish a law of large number for the maximal position $M_{n}$ : For some constant $α$ , $\frac{M_{n}}{n} \to α$ almost surely on the set of infinite number of visits of the origin. Then we determine all possible limiting laws for $M_{n} - α n$ as $n$ goes to infinity.

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...

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 $α \mapsto θ (α)$ 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...

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 $Ω ₁^{ℕ}$ 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 $E_{*} [X ₁] \leq l i m i n f S ₙ / n \leq l i m s u p S ₙ / n \leq E * [X ₁]$ , where $E_{*}$ and E* are the lower and upper expectations....

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 $A_{n} : = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} S_{i}$ . Suppose $S_{1}$ is in the domain of normal attraction of an $α$ -stable law with $1 l t; α \leq 2$ . Assuming that $S_{1}$ is either right-exponential (i.e. $ℙ (S_{1} g t; x | S_{1} g t; 0) = e^{- a x}$ for some $a g t; 0$ and all $x g t; 0$ ) or right-continuous (skip free), we prove that $ℙ {A_{1} g t; 0, \dots, A_{N} g t; 0} \sim C_{α} N^{1 / (2 α) - 1 / 2}$ as $N \to \infty$ , 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.

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 $A + B \to 2 A$ , 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...

Random walks on co-compact fuchsian groups

Sébastien Gouëzel, Steven P. Lalley (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

It is proved that the Green’s function of a symmetric finite range random walk on a co-compact Fuchsian group decays exponentially in distance at the radius of convergence $R$ . It is also shown that Ancona’s inequalities extend to $R$ , and therefore that the Martin boundary for $R$ -potentials coincides with the natural geometric boundary $S^{1}$ , and that the Martin kernel is uniformly Hölder continuous. Finally, this implies a local limit theorem for the transition probabilities: in the aperiodic...

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

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,...

Collisions of random walks

Martin T. Barlow, Yuval Peres, Perla Sousi (2012)

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

Similarity:

A recurrent graph $G$ has the infinite collision property if two independent random walks on $G$ , started at the same point, collide infinitely often a.s. We give a simple criterion in terms of Green functions for a graph to have this property, and use it to prove that a critical Galton–Watson tree with finite variance conditioned to survive, the incipient infinite cluster in $ℤ^{d}$ with $d \geq 19$ and the uniform spanning tree in $ℤ^{2}$ all have the infinite collision property. For power-law combs and spherically...

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 $f_{i} \in C^{1 + α}$ be contractions with fixpoints $a_{i}$ . We consider the iterated function system $Y_{ε} f_{i} + a_{i} (1 - Y_{ε}) ⁿ_{i = 1}$ , 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...

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 $X \overset{d}{=} \sum_{k = 1}^{T (p)} X_{p, k}$ , 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....

On the geometry of proportional quotients of $l ₁^{m}$

Piotr Mankiewicz, Stanisław J. Szarek (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We compare various constructions of random proportional quotients of $l ₁^{m}$ (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.

Supercritical self-avoiding walks are space-filling

Hugo Duminil-Copin, Gady Kozma, Ariel Yadin (2014)

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

Similarity:

In this article, we consider the following model of self-avoiding walk: the probability of a self-avoiding trajectory $γ$ between two points on the boundary of a finite subdomain of $ℤ^{d}$ is proportional to $μ^{- length (γ)}$ . When $μ$ is supercritical (i.e. $μ l t; μ_{c}$ where $μ_{c}$ is the connective constant of the lattice), we show that the random trajectory becomes space-filling when taking the scaling limit.

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 $f \in L_{p}$ 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 $f \in L_{p}$ whose independent copies span $l_{M}$ in $L_{p}$ is essentially unique.

Soft local times and decoupling of random interlacements

Serguei Popov, Augusto Teixeira (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In this paper we establish a decoupling feature of the random interlacement process $ℐ^{u} \subset ℤ^{d}$ at level $u$ , $d \geq 3$ . Roughly speaking, we show that observations of $ℐ^{u}$ restricted to two disjoint subsets $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ of $ℤ^{d}$ are approximately independent, once we add a sprinkling to the process $ℐ^{u}$ by slightly increasing the parameter $u$ . Our results differ from previous ones in that we allow the mutual distance between the sets $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ to be much smaller than their diameters. We then provide an important application...

Limit theorems for one and two-dimensional random walks in random scenery

Fabienne Castell, Nadine Guillotin-Plantard, Françoise Pène (2013)

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

Similarity:

Random walks in random scenery are processes defined by $Z_{n} : = \sum_{k = 1}^{n} ξ_{X_{1} + \dots + X_{k}}$ , where $(X_{k}, k \geq 1)$ and $(ξ_{y}, y \in ℤ^{d})$ are two independent sequences of i.i.d. random variables with values in $ℤ^{d}$ and $ℝ$ respectively. We suppose that the distributions of $X_{1}$ and $ξ_{0}$ belong to the normal basin of attraction of stable distribution of index $α \in (0, 2]$ and $β \in (0, 2]$ . When $d = 1$ and $α \neq 1$ , a functional limit theorem has been established in ( (1979) 5–25) and a local limit theorem in (To appear). In this paper, we establish the convergence in distribution...

The critical barrier for the survival of branching random walk with absorption

Bruno Jaffuel (2012)

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

Similarity:

We study a branching random walk on $ℝ$ with an absorbing barrier. The position of the barrier depends on the generation. In each generation, only the individuals born below the barrier survive and reproduce. Given a reproduction law, Biggins et al. [ (1991) 573–581] determined whether a linear barrier allows the process to survive. In this paper, we refine their result: in the boundary case in which the speed of the barrier matches the speed of the minimal position of a...
