摘要:Consider a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, where each variable is refreshed (i.e., replaced by an independent variable with the same law) independently, according to a Poisson clock. At any fixed time t, the resulting sequence has the same law as at time 0, but there can be exceptional random times at which certain almost sure properties of the time 0 sequence are violated. We prove that there are no such exceptional times for the law of large numbers and the law of the iterated logarithm...

摘要:Motivated by multivariate random recurrence equations we prove a new analogue of the Key Renewal Theorem for functionals of a Markov chain with compact state space in the spirit of Kesten [Ann. Probab. 2 (1974) 355-386]. Compactness of the state space and a certain continuity condition allows us to simplify Kesten's proof considerably.

摘要:We characterize Yang-Mills connections in vector bundles in terms of covariant derivatives of stochastic parallel transport along variations of Brownian bridges on the base manifold. In particular, we prove that a connection in a vector bundle E is Yang-Mills if and only if the covariant derivative of parallel transport along Brownian bridges (in the direction of their drift) is a local martingale, when transported back to the starting point. We present a Taylor expansion up to order 3 for sto...

摘要:In this paper, we prove a new version of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem (BET) for random variables depending on a parameter (alias integrands). This involves variational convergences, namely epigraphical, hypographical and uniform convergence and requires a suitable definition of the conditional expectation of integrands. We also have to establish the measurability of the epigraphical lower and upper limits with respect to the or-field of invariant subsets. From the main result, applications to ...

摘要:Let K be a smooth convex body. The convex hull of independent random points in K is a random polytope. Estimates for the variance of the volume and the variance of the number of vertices of a random polytope are obtained. The essential step is the use of the Efron-Stein jackknife inequality for the variance of symmetric statistics. Consequences are strong laws of large numbers for the volume and the number of vertices of the random polytope. A conjecture of Barany concerning random and best-ap...

摘要:Let Phi = {phi(x):x is an element of R-2} be a Gaussian random field on the plane. For A subset of R-2, we investigate the relationship between the sigma-field F(Phi, A) = sigma{phi(x):x is an element of A} and the infinitesimal or germ sigma-field boolean AND(epsilon>0) F(Phi, A(epsilon)), where A(epsilon) is an epsilon-neighborhood of A. General analytic conditions are developed giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the equality of these two sigma-fields. These conditions are potent...

摘要:where W-t is d-dimensional Brownian motion with d greater than or equal to 2 and the ith component of At is a process of bounded variation that stands in the same relationship to a measure pi(i) as integral(0)(t) f(X-s) ds does to the measure f (x) dx. We prove weak existence and uniqueness for the above stochastic differential equation when the measures pi(i) are members of the Kato class Kd-1. As a typical example, we obtain a Brownian motion that has upward drift when in certain fractal-lik...

摘要:We study a white-noise driven semilinear partial differential equation on the spatial interval [0, 1] with Dirichlet boundary condition and with a singular drift of the form cu(-3), c > 0. We prove existence and uniqueness of a non-negative continuous adapted solution u on [0, infinity) x [0, 1] for every nonnegative continuous initial datum x, satisfying x(0) = x(1) = 0. We prove that the law pi(delta) of the Bessel bridge on [0, 1] of dimension delta > 3 is the unique invariant probability m...

摘要:We consider the approximation of the distribution of the sum of independent but not necessarily identically distributed random variables by a compound Poisson distribution and also by a finite signed measure of higher accuracy. Using Kerstan's method, some new bounds for the total variation distance are presented. Recently, several authors had difficulties applying Stein's method to the problem given. For instance, Barbour, Chen and Loh used this method in the case of random variables on the n...
