Sudakov-type minoration for log-concave vectors

Rafał Latała (2014)

Studia Mathematica

We formulate and discuss a conjecture concerning lower bounds for norms of log-concave vectors, which generalizes the classical Sudakov minoration principle for Gaussian vectors. We show that the conjecture holds for some special classes of log-concave measures and some weaker forms of it are satisfied in the general case. We also present some applications based on chaining techniques.

Sums of a Random Number of Random Variables and their Approximations with ν- Accompanying Infinitely Divisible Laws

Klebanov, Lev, Rachev, Svetlozar (1996)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

* Research supported by NATO GRANT CRG 900 798 and by Humboldt Award for U.S. Scientists.In this paper a general theory of a random number of random variables is constructed. A description of all random variables ν admitting an analog of the Gaussian distribution under ν-summation, that is, the summation of a random number ν of random terms, is given. The v-infinitely divisible distributions are described for these ν-summations and finite estimates of the approximation of ν-sum distributions with...

Supercritical super-brownian motion with a general branching mechanism and travelling waves

A. E. Kyprianou, R.-L. Liu, A. Murillo-Salas, Y.-X. Ren (2012)

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

We offer a probabilistic treatment of the classical problem of existence, uniqueness and asymptotics of monotone solutions to the travelling wave equation associated to the parabolic semi-group equation of a super-Brownian motion with a general branching mechanism. Whilst we are strongly guided by the reasoning in Kyprianou (Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré Probab. Stat.40 (2004) 53–72) for branching Brownian motion, the current paper offers a number of new insights. Our analysis incorporates the role...
