On reliability analysis of consecutive k -out-of- n systems with arbitrarily dependent components

Ebrahim Salehi (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper, we consider the linear and circular consecutive k -out-of- n systems consisting of arbitrarily dependent components. Under the condition that at least n - r + 1 components ( r n ) of the system are working at time t , we study the reliability properties of the residual lifetime of such systems. Also, we present some stochastic ordering properties of residual lifetime of consecutive k -out-of- n systems. In the following, we investigate the inactivity time of the component with lifetime...

Nonconventional limit theorems in averaging

Yuri Kifer (2014)

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

Similarity:

We consider “nonconventional” averaging setup in the form d X ε ( t ) d t = ε B ( X ε ( t ) , 𝛯 ( q 1 ( t ) ) , 𝛯 ( q 2 ( t ) ) , ... , 𝛯 ( q ( t ) ) ) where 𝛯 ( t ) , t 0 is either a stochastic process or a dynamical system with sufficiently fast mixing while q j ( t ) = α j t , α 1 l t ; α 2 l t ; l t ; α k and q j , j = k + 1 , ... , grow faster than linearly. We show that the properly normalized error term in the “nonconventional” averaging principle is asymptotically Gaussian.

Dietmar Ferger, John Venz (2017)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

We establish consistent estimators of jump positions and jump altitudes of a multi-level step function that is the best L 2 -approximation of a probability density function f . If f itself is a step-function the number of jumps may be unknown.

Quasi-diffusion solution of a stochastic differential equation

Agnieszka Plucińska, Wojciech Szymański (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the stochastic differential equation X t = X + 0 t ( A s + B s X s ) d s + 0 t C s d Y s , where A t , B t , C t are nonrandom continuous functions of t, X₀ is an initial random variable, Y = ( Y t , t 0 ) is a Gaussian process and X₀, Y are independent. We give the form of the solution ( X t ) to (0.1) and then basing on the results of Plucińska [Teor. Veroyatnost. i Primenen. 25 (1980)] we prove that ( X t ) is a quasi-diffusion proces.

On pathwise uniqueness for stochastic differential equations driven by stable Lévy processes

Nicolas Fournier (2013)

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

Similarity:

We study a one-dimensional stochastic differential equation driven by a stable Lévy process of order α with drift and diffusion coefficients b , σ . When α ( 1 , 2 ) , we investigate pathwise uniqueness for this equation. When α ( 0 , 1 ) , we study another stochastic differential equation, which is equivalent in law, but for which pathwise uniqueness holds under much weaker conditions. We obtain various results, depending on whether α ( 0 , 1 ) or α ( 1 , 2 ) and on whether the driving stable process is symmetric or not. Our...

Initial measures for the stochastic heat equation

Daniel Conus, Mathew Joseph, Davar Khoshnevisan, Shang-Yuan Shiu (2014)

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

Similarity:

We consider a family of nonlinear stochastic heat equations of the form t u = u + σ ( u ) W ˙ , where W ˙ denotes space–time white noise, the generator of a symmetric Lévy process on 𝐑 , and σ is Lipschitz continuous and zero at 0. We show that this stochastic PDE has a random-field solution for every finite initial measure u 0 . Tight a priori bounds on the moments of the solution are also obtained. In the particular case that f = c f ' ' for some c g t ; 0 , we prove that if u 0 is a finite measure of compact support, then the...

Estimating composite functions by model selection

Yannick Baraud, Lucien Birgé (2014)

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

Similarity:

We consider the problem of estimating a function s on [ - 1 , 1 ] k for large values of k by looking for some best approximation of s by composite functions of the form g u . Our solution is based on model selection and leads to a very general approach to solve this problem with respect to many different types of functions g , u and statistical frameworks. In particular, we handle the problems of approximating s by additive functions, single and multiple index models, artificial neural networks, mixtures...

An integral operator on the classes 𝒮 * ( α ) and 𝒞𝒱ℋ ( β )

Nicoleta Ularu, Nicoleta Breaz (2013)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

The purpose of this paper is to study some properties related to convexity order and coefficients estimation for a general integral operator. We find the convexity order for this operator, using the analytic functions from the class of starlike functions of order α and from the class 𝒞𝒱ℋ ( β ) and also we estimate the first two coefficients for functions obtained by this operator applied on the class 𝒞𝒱ℋ ( β ) .

On orthogonal series estimation of bounded regression functions

Waldemar Popiński (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The problem of nonparametric estimation of a bounded regression function f L ² ( [ a , b ] d ) , [a,b] ⊂ ℝ, d ≥ 1, using an orthonormal system of functions e k , k=1,2,..., is considered in the case when the observations follow the model Y i = f ( X i ) + η i , i=1,...,n, where X i and η i are i.i.d. copies of independent random variables X and η, respectively, the distribution of X has density ϱ, and η has mean zero and finite variance. The estimators are constructed by proper truncation of the function f ̂ ( x ) = k = 1 N ( n ) c ̂ k e k ( x ) , where the coefficients c ̂ , . . . , c ̂ N ( n ) ...

Limit distributions for multitype branching processes of m -ary search trees

Brigitte Chauvin, Quansheng Liu, Nicolas Pouyanne (2014)

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

Similarity:

Let m 3 be an integer. The so-calledis a discrete time Markov chain which is very popular in theoretical computer science, modelling famous algorithms used in searching and sorting. This random process satisfies a well-known phase transition: when m 26 , the asymptotic behavior of the process is Gaussian, but for m 27 it is no longer Gaussian and a limit W D T of a complex-valued martingale arises. In this paper, we consider the multitype branching process which is the continuous time version of...

Quasi-polynomial mixing of the 2D stochastic Ising model with “plus” boundary up to criticality

Eyal Lubetzky, Fabio Martinelli, Allan Sly, Fabio Lucio Toninelli (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We considerably improve upon the recent result of [37] on the mixing time of Glauber dynamics for the 2D Ising model in a box of side L at low temperature and with random boundary conditions whose distribution P stochastically dominates the extremal plus phase. An important special case is when P is concentrated on the homogeneous all-plus configuration, where the mixing time T M I X is conjectured to be polynomial in L . In [37] it was shown that for a large enough inverse-temperature β and...

From a kinetic equation to a diffusion under an anomalous scaling

Giada Basile (2014)

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

Similarity:

A linear Boltzmann equation is interpreted as the forward equation for the probability density of a Markov process ( K ( t ) , i ( t ) , Y ( t ) ) on ( 𝕋 2 × { 1 , 2 } × 2 ) , where 𝕋 2 is the two-dimensional torus. Here ( K ( t ) , i ( t ) ) is an autonomous reversible jump process, with waiting times between two jumps with finite expectation value but infinite variance. Y ( t ) is an additive functional of K , defined as 0 t v ( K ( s ) ) d s , where | v | 1 for small k . We prove that the rescaled process ( N ln N ) - 1 / 2 Y ( N t ) converges in distribution to a two-dimensional Brownian motion. As a consequence,...

A localization property for B p q s and F p q s spaces

Hans Triebel (1994)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let f j = k a k f ( 2 j + 1 x - 2 k ) , where the sum is taken over the lattice of all points k in n having integer-valued components, j∈ℕ and a k . Let A p q s be either B p q s or F p q s (s ∈ ℝ, 0 < p < ∞, 0 < q ≤ ∞) on n . The aim of the paper is to clarify under what conditions f j | A p q s is equivalent to 2 j ( s - n / p ) ( k | a k | p ) 1 / p f | A p q s .

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 u d at level u , d 3 . Roughly speaking, we show that observations of u restricted to two disjoint subsets A 1 and A 2 of d are approximately independent, once we add a sprinkling to the process 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...

Weak convergence of mutually independent X B and X A under weak convergence of X X B - X A

W. Szczotka (2006)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

For each n ≥ 1, let v n , k , k 1 and u n , k , k 1 be mutually independent sequences of nonnegative random variables and let each of them consist of mutually independent and identically distributed random variables with means v̅ₙ and u̅̅ₙ, respectively. Let X B ( t ) = ( 1 / c ) j = 1 [ n t ] ( v n , j - v ̅ ) , X A ( t ) = ( 1 / c ) j = 1 [ n t ] ( u n , j - u ̅ ̅ ) , t ≥ 0, and X = X B - X A . The main result gives conditions under which the weak convergence X X , where X is a Lévy process, implies X B X B and X A X A , where X B and X A are mutually independent Lévy processes and X = X B - X A .
