Maximal inequalities via bracketing with adaptive truncation
Assume that u, v are conjugate harmonic functions on the unit disc of ℂ, normalized so that u(0) = v(0) = 0. Let u*, |v|* stand for the one- and two-sided Brownian maxima of u and v, respectively. The paper contains the proof of the sharp weak-type estimate ℙ(|v|* ≥ 1)≤ (1 + 1/3² + 1/5² + 1/7² + ...)/(1 - 1/3² + 1/5² - 1/7² + ...) 𝔼u*. Actually, this estimate is shown to be true in the more general setting of differentially subordinate harmonic functions defined...
The recurrence formulas for the probability distribution function of the maximum length of a series of 1's in a binary 0-1 Markovian sequence are analysed and the limiting distribution estimated. The result is used to test a semi-Markov model of basketball games.
We consider signed Radon random measures on a separable, complete and locally compact metric space and study mean quadratic convergence with respect to vague topology on the space of measures. We prove sufficient conditions in order to obtain mean quadratic convergence. These results are based on some identification properties of signed Radon measures on the product space, also proved in this paper.
A simple personal saving model with interest rate based on random fluctuation of national growth rate is considered. We establish connections between the mean stochastic stability of our model and the deterministic stability of related partial difference equations. Then the asymptotic behavior of our stochastic model is studied. Although the model is simple, the techniques for obtaining its properties are not, and we make use of the theory of abstract Banach algebras and weighted spaces. It is hoped...
We consider a Köthe space of random variables (r.v.) defined on the Lebesgue space ([0,1],B,λ). We show that for any sub-σ-algebra ℱ of B and for all r.v.’s X with values in a separable finitely compact metric space (M,d) such that d(X,x) ∈ for all x ∈ M (we then write X ∈ (M)), there exists a median of X given ℱ, i.e., an ℱ-measurable r.v. Y ∈ (M) such that for all ℱ-measurable Z. We develop the basic theory of these medians, we show the convergence of empirical medians and we give some applications....
