Thin and heavy tails in stochastic programming

Vlasta Kaňková, Michal Houda (2015)

Kybernetika

Optimization problems depending on a probability measure correspond to many applications. These problems can be static (single-stage), dynamic with finite (multi-stage) or infinite horizon, single- or multi-objective. It is necessary to have complete knowledge of the “underlying” probability measure if we are to solve the above-mentioned problems with precision. However this assumption is very rarely fulfilled (in applications) and consequently, problems have to be solved mostly on the basis of...

Topological algebras of random elements

Bertram M. Schreiber, M. Victoria Velasco (2016)

Studia Mathematica

Let L₀(Ω;A) be the Fréchet space of Bochner-measurable random variables with values in a unital complex Banach algebra A. We study L₀(Ω;A) as a topological algebra, investigating the notion of spectrum in L₀(Ω;A), the Jacobson radical, ideals, hulls and kernels. Several results on automatic continuity of homomorphisms are developed, including versions of well-known theorems of C. Rickart and B. E. Johnson.

Transience of algebraic varieties in linear groups - applications to generic Zariski density

Richard Aoun (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the transience of algebraic varieties in linear groups. In particular, we show that a “non elementary” random walk in S L 2 ( ) escapes exponentially fast from every proper algebraic subvariety. We also treat the case where the random walk takes place in the real points of a semisimple split algebraic group and show such a result for a wide family of random walks.As an application, we prove that generic subgroups (in some sense) of linear groups are Zariski dense.

Two dimensional probabilities with a given conditional structure

Josef Štěpán, Daniel Hlubinka (1999)

Kybernetika

A properly measurable set 𝒫 X × M 1 ( Y ) (where X , Y are Polish spaces and M 1 ( Y ) is the space of Borel probability measures on Y ) is considered. Given a probability distribution λ M 1 ( X ) the paper treats the problem of the existence of X × Y -valued random vector ( ξ , η ) for which ( ξ ) = λ and ( η | ξ = x ) 𝒫 x λ -almost surely that possesses moreover some other properties such as “ ( ξ , η ) has the maximal possible support” or “ ( η | ξ = x ) ’s are extremal...

Two Kinds of Invariance of Full Conditional Probabilities

Alexander R. Pruss (2013)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Let G be a group acting on Ω and ℱ a G-invariant algebra of subsets of Ω. A full conditional probability on ℱ is a function P: ℱ × (ℱ∖{∅}) → [0,1] satisfying the obvious axioms (with only finite additivity). It is weakly G-invariant provided that P(gA|gB) = P(A|B) for all g ∈ G and A,B ∈ ℱ, and strongly G-invariant provided that P(gA|B) = P(A|B) whenever g ∈ G and A ∪ gA ⊆ B. Armstrong (1989) claimed that weak and strong invariance are equivalent, but we shall show that this is false and that weak...
