A multidimensional singular stochastic control problem on a finite time horizon

Marcin Boryc, Łukasz Kruk (2015)

Annales UMCS, Mathematica

A singular stochastic control problem in n dimensions with timedependent coefficients on a finite time horizon is considered. We show that the value function for this problem is a generalized solution of the corresponding HJB equation with locally bounded second derivatives with respect to the space variables and the first derivative with respect to time. Moreover, we prove that an optimal control exists and is unique

A multiparameter variant of the Salem-Zygmund central limit theorem on lacunary trigonometric series

Mordechay B. Levin (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove the central limit theorem for the multisequence 1 n N 1 n d N d a n , . . . , n d c o s ( 2 π m , A n . . . A d n d x ) where m s , a n , . . . , n d are reals, A , . . . , A d are partially hyperbolic commuting s × s matrices, and x is a uniformly distributed random variable in [ 0 , 1 ] s . The main tool is the S-unit theorem.

A multiplier theorem for Fourier series in several variables

Nakhle Asmar, Florence Newberger, Saleem Watson (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We define a new type of multiplier operators on L p ( N ) , where N is the N-dimensional torus, and use tangent sequences from probability theory to prove that the operator norms of these multipliers are independent of the dimension N. Our construction is motivated by the conjugate function operator on L p ( N ) , to which the theorem applies as a particular example.

A natural derivative on [0, n] and a binomial Poincaré inequality

Erwan Hillion, Oliver Johnson, Yaming Yu (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider probability measures supported on a finite discrete interval [0, n]. We introduce a new finite difference operator ∇n, defined as a linear combination of left and right finite differences. We show that this operator ∇n plays a key role in a new Poincaré (spectral gap) inequality with respect to binomial weights, with the orthogonal Krawtchouk polynomials acting as eigenfunctions of the relevant operator. We briefly discuss the relationship of this operator to the problem of optimal transport...

A new family of compound lifetime distributions

A. Asgharzadeh, Hassan S. Bakouch, Saralees Nadarajah, L. Esmaeili (2014)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we introduce a general family of continuous lifetime distributions by compounding any continuous distribution and the Poisson-Lindley distribution. It is more flexible than several recently introduced lifetime distributions. The failure rate functions of our family can be increasing, decreasing, bathtub shaped and unimodal shaped. Several properties of this family are investigated including shape characteristics of the probability density, moments, order statistics, (reversed) residual...

A new family of trivariate proper quasi-copulas

Manuel Úbeda-Flores (2007)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we provide a new family of trivariate proper quasi-copulas. As an application, we show that W 3 – the best-possible lower bound for the set of trivariate quasi-copulas (and copulas) – is the limit member of this family, showing how the mass of W 3 is distributed on the plane x + y + z = 2 of [ 0 , 1 ] 3 in an easy manner, and providing the generalization of this result to n dimensions.
