On concentrated probabilities

Wojciech Bartoszek (1995)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Let G be a locally compact Polish group with an invariant metric. We provide sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of a compact set A ⊆ G and a sequence g n G such that μ n ( g n A ) 1 for all n. It is noticed that such measures μ form a meager subset of all probabilities on G in the weak measure topology. If for some k the convolution power μ k has nontrivial absolutely continuous component then a similar characterization is obtained for any locally compact, σ-compact, unimodular, Hausdorff topological...

On concentrated probabilities on non locally compact groups

Wojciech Bartoszek (1996)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let G be a Polish group with an invariant metric. We characterize those probability measures μ on G so that there exist a sequence g n G and a compact set A G with   μ * n ( g n A ) 1   for all n .

On factorization of probability distributions over directed graphs

František Matúš, Bernhard Strohmeier (1998)

Kybernetika

Four notions of factorizability over arbitrary directed graphs are examined. For acyclic graphs they coincide and are identical with the usual factorization of probability distributions in Markov models. Relations between the factorizations over circuits are described in detail including nontrivial counterexamples. Restrictions on the cardinality of state spaces cause that a factorizability with respect to some special cyclic graphs implies the factorizability with respect to their, more simple,...

On the Heyde theorem for discrete Abelian groups

G. M. Feldman (2006)

Studia Mathematica

Let X be a countable discrete Abelian group, Aut(X) the set of automorphisms of X, and I(X) the set of idempotent distributions on X. Assume that α₁, α₂, β₁, β₂ ∈ Aut(X) satisfy β α - 1 ± β α - 1 A u t ( X ) . Let ξ₁, ξ₂ be independent random variables with values in X and distributions μ₁, μ₂. We prove that the symmetry of the conditional distribution of L₂ = β₁ξ₁ + β₂ξ₂ given L₁ = α₁ξ₁ + α₂ξ₂ implies that μ₁, μ₂ ∈ I(X) if and only if the group X contains no elements of order two. This theorem can be considered as an analogue...

On the invariant measure of the random difference equation Xn = AnXn−1 + Bn in the critical case

Sara Brofferio, Dariusz Buraczewski, Ewa Damek (2012)

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

We consider the autoregressive model on ℝd defined by the stochastic recursion Xn = AnXn−1 + Bn, where {(Bn, An)} are i.i.d. random variables valued in ℝd× ℝ+. The critical case, when 𝔼 [ log A 1 ] = 0 , was studied by Babillot, Bougerol and Elie, who proved that there exists a unique invariant Radon measureν for the Markov chain {Xn}. In the present paper we prove that the weak limit of properly dilated measure ν exists and defines a homogeneous measure on ℝd ∖ {0}.
