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,...

Existence of graphs with sub exponential transitions probability decay and applications

Clément Rau (2010)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

In this paper, we recall the existence of graphs with bounded valency such that the simple random walk has a return probability at time n at the origin of order exp ( - n α ) , for fixed α [ 0 , 1 [ and with Følner function exp ( n 2 α 1 - α ) . This result was proved by Erschler (see [4], [3]); we give a more detailed proof of this construction in the appendix. In the second part, we give an application of the existence of such graphs. We obtain bounds of the correct order for some functional of the local time of a simple random...

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

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....

Extremal points of high-dimensional random walks and mixing times of a brownian motion on the sphere

Ronen Eldan (2014)

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

Similarity:

We derive asymptotics for the probability that the origin is an extremal point of a random walk in n . We show that in order for the probability to be roughly 1 / 2 , the number of steps of the random walk should be between e n / ( C log n ) and e C n log n for some constant C g t ; 0 . As a result, we attain a bound for the π 2 -covering time of a spherical Brownian motion.

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.

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 } .

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...

Moment and tail estimates for multidimensional chaoses generated by symmetric random variables with logarithmically concave tails

Rafał M. Łochowski (2006)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Two kinds of estimates are presented for tails and moments of random multidimensional chaoses S = a i , . . . , i d X i ( 1 ) X i d ( d ) generated by symmetric random variables X i ( 1 ) , . . . , X i d ( d ) with logarithmically concave tails. The estimates of the first kind are generalizations of bounds obtained by Arcones and Giné for Gaussian chaoses. They are exact up to constants depending only on the order d. Unfortunately, suprema of empirical processes are involved. The second kind estimates are based on comparison between moments of S and moments...

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. ...

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....

Tail and moment estimates for sums of independent random variables with logarithmically concave tails

E. Gluskin, S. Kwapień (1995)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

For random variables S = i = 1 α i ξ i , where ( ξ i ) is a sequence of symmetric, independent, identically distributed random variables such that l n P ( | ξ i | t ) is a concave function we give estimates from above and from below for the tail and moments of S. The estimates are exact up to a constant depending only on the distribution of ξ. They extend results of S. J. Montgomery-Smith [MS], M. Ledoux and M. Talagrand [LT, Chapter 4.1] and P. Hitczenko [H] for the Rademacher sequence.

Aging and quenched localization for one-dimensional random walks in random environment in the sub-ballistic regime

Nathanaël Enriquez, Christophe Sabot, Olivier Zindy (2009)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We consider transient one-dimensional random walks in a random environment with zero asymptotic speed. An aging phenomenon involving the generalized Arcsine law is proved using the localization of the walk at the foot of “valleys“ of height log t . In the quenched setting, we also sharply estimate the distribution of the walk at time t .

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 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 , M n n 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...

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 d with d 19 and the uniform spanning tree in 2 all have the infinite collision property. For power-law combs and spherically...

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...

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.

On the singular values of random matrices

Shahar Mendelson, Grigoris Paouris (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We present an approach that allows one to bound the largest and smallest singular values of an N × n random matrix with iid rows, distributed according to a measure on n that is supported in a relatively small ball and linear functionals are uniformly bounded in L p for some p > 8 , in a quantitative (non-asymptotic) fashion. Among the outcomes of this approach are optimal estimates of 1 ± c n / N not only in the case of the above mentioned measure, but also when the measure is log-concave or when it a product...

α-stable random walk has massive thorns

Alexander Bendikov, Wojciech Cygan (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We introduce and study a class of random walks defined on the integer lattice d -a discrete space and time counterpart of the symmetric α-stable process in d . When 0 < α <2 any coordinate axis in d , d ≥ 3, is a non-massive set whereas any cone is massive. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a thorn to be a massive set.

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.

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...
