Complete moment and integral convergence for sums of negatively associated random variables

For a sequence of identically distributed negatively associated random variables {Xn; n ≥ 1} with partial sums Sn = ∑i=1^n Xi, n ≥ 1, refinements are presented of the classical Baum-Katz and Lai complete convergence theorems. More specifically, necessary and sufficient moment conditions are provided for complete moment convergence of the form ∑n≥n0 n^r-2-1/pq anE（max1≤k≤n｜Sk｜^1/q-∈bn^1/qp）^＋〈∞to hold where r 〉 1, q 〉 0 and either n0 = 1,0 〈 p 〈 2, an = 1,bn = n or n0 = 3,p = 2, an = 1 （log n） ^1/2q, bn=n log n. These results extend results of Chow and of Li and Spataru from the indepen- dent and identically distributed case to the identically distributed negatively associated setting. The complete moment convergence is also shown to be equivalent to a form of complete integral convergence.     

On the Relationship Between the Baum-Katz-Spitzer Complete Convergence Theorem and the Law of the Iterated Logarithm

For a sequence of i.i.d. Banach space-valued random variables {Xn; n ≥ 1} and a sequence of positive constants {an; n ≥ 1}, the relationship between the Baum-Katz-Spitzer complete convergence theorem and the law of the iterated logarithm is investigated. Sets of conditions are provided under which （i） lim sup n→∞ ｜｜Sn｜｜/an〈∞ a.s.and ∞ ∑n=1（1/n）P（｜｜Sn｜｜/an ≥ε〈∞for all ε 〉 λ for some constant λ ∈ [0, ∞） are equivalent; （ii） For all constants λ ∈ [0, ∞）, lim sup ｜｜Sn｜｜/an =λ a.s.and ^∞∑ n=1（1/n） P（｜｜Sn｜｜/an ≥ε）{〈∞, if ε〉λ =∞,if ε〈λare equivalent. In general, no geometric conditions are imposed on the underlying Banach space. Corollaries are presented and new results are obtained even in the case of real-valued random variables.     

Precise Asymptotics in the Baum-Katz and Davis Laws of Large Numbers of ρ-mixing Sequences

Let {X,Xn;n ≥ 1} be a strictly stationary sequence of ρ-mixing random variables with mean zeros and finite variances. Set Sn =∑k=1^n Xk, Mn=maxk≤n｜Sk｜,n≥1.Suppose limn→∞ESn^2/n=：σ^2〉0 and ∑n^∞=1 ρ^2/d（2^n）〈∞,where d=2 if 1≤r〈2 and d〉r if r≥2.We prove that if E｜X｜^r 〈∞,for 1≤p〈2 and r〉p,then limε→0ε^2（r-p）/2-p ∑∞n=1 n^r/p-2 P{Mn≥εn^1/p}=2p/r-p ∑∞k=1（-1）^k/（2k＋1）^2（r-p）/（2-p）E｜Z｜^2（r-p）/2-p,where Z has a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance σ^2.     

Strong Convergence for Weighted Sums of Negatively Associated Arrays

Let {Xni} be an array of rowwise negatively associated random variables and Tnk=k∑i=1 i^a Xni for a ≥ -1, Snk =∑｜i｜≤k Ф（i/nη）1/nη Xni for η∈（0,1],where Ф is some function. The author studies necessary and sufficient conditions of ∞∑n=1 AnP（max 1≤k≤n｜Tnk｜〉εBn）〈∞ and ∞∑n=1 CnP（max 0≤k≤mn｜Snk｜〉εDn）〈∞ for all ε 〉 0, where An, Bn, Cn and Dn are some positive constants, mn ∈ N with mn /nη →∞. The results of Lanzinger and Stadtmfiller in 2003 are extended from the i.i.d, case to the case of the negatively associated, not necessarily identically distributed random variables. Also, the result of Pruss in 2003 on independent variables reduces to a special case of the present paper; furthermore, the necessity part of his result is complemented.     

Exponential sums involving Maass forms

We study the exponential sums involving l：burmr coeffcients ot Maass forms and exponential functions of the form e（anZ）, where 0 ≠ α∈R and 0 〈 β 〈 1. An asymptotic formula is proved for the nonlinear exponential sum ∑x〈n≤2x λg（n）e（αnβ）, when β = 1/2 and ｜α｜ is close to 2√ q C Z＋, where Ag（n） is the normalized n-th Fourier coefficient of a Maass cusp form for SL2 （Z）. The similar natures of the divisor function 7（n） and the representation function r（n） in the circle problem in nonlinear exponential sums of the above type are also studied.

A LIL and limit distributions for trimmed sums of random vectors attracted to operator semi-stable laws

Let θ∈ Rdbe a unit vector and let X,X1,X2,...be a sequence of i.i.d.Rd-valued random vectors attracted to operator semi-stable laws.For each integer n ≥ 1,let X1,n ≤···≤ Xn,n denote the order statistics of X1,X2,...,Xn according to priority of index,namely | X1,n,θ | ≥···≥ | Xn,n,θ |,where ·,· is an inner product on Rd.For all integers r ≥ 0,define by(r)Sn = n-ri=1Xi,n the trimmed sum.In this paper we investigate a law of the iterated logarithm and limit distributions for trimmed sums(r)Sn.Our results give information about the maximal growth rate of sample paths for partial sums of X when r extreme terms are excluded.A stochastically compactness of(r)Sn is obtained.     

A Supplement to the Baum-Katz-Spitzer Complete Convergence Theorem

Let {X, Xn; n≥ 1} be a sequence of i.i.d. Banach space valued random variables and let {an; n ≥ 1} be a sequence of positive constants such that an↑∞ and 1〈 lim inf n→∞ a2n/an≤lim sup n→∞ a2n/an〈∞ Set Sn=∑i=1^n Xi,n≥1.In this paper we prove that ∑n≥1 1/n P（｜｜Sn｜｜≥εan）〈∞ for all ε〉0 if and only if lim n→∞ Sn/an=0 a.s. This result generalizes the Baum-Katz-Spitzer complete convergence theorem. Combining our result and a corollary of Einmahl and Li, we solve a conjecture posed by Gut.     

Quasilinear elliptic equations with Neumann boundary and singularity

Let Ω be a bounded domain with a smooth C2 boundary in RN（N ≥ 3）, 0 ∈Ω, and n denote the unit outward normal to ЭΩ.We are concerned with the Neumann boundary problems： -div（｜x｜α｜△u｜p-2△u）=｜x｜βup（α,β）-1-λ｜x｜γup-1,u（x）〉0,x∈Ω,Эu/Эn=0 on ЭΩ,where 1〈p〈N and α〈0,β〈0 such that p（α,β）△=p（N＋β）/N-p＋α〉p,y〉α-p.For various parameters α,βorγ,we establish certain existence results of the solutions in the case 0∈Ω or 0∈ЭΩ.     

Properties on solutions of some q-difference equations

We consider the properties on solutions of some q-difference equations of the form ∑ n j=0 aj（z）f（qj z）=an＋1（z）, where a0（z）,..., an＋1（z） are meromorphic functions, a0（z）an（z） ≠ 0 and q ∈ C such that 0 〈 ｜q｜ ≤ 1. We give estimates on the upper bound for the length of the gap in the power series of entire solutions of （＊） when the coefficients a0（z）,..., an＋1（z） are polynomials and 0 〈 ｜q｜ 〈 1. For some special cases, we give estimates of growth of f（z）. And we also show that the case 0 〈 ｜q｜ 〈 1 is different from the case ｜q｜=1.     

非负对称符号模式的惯量集(英文)

For a symmetric sign pattern S1 the inertia set of S is defined to be the set of all ordered triples si（S） = {i（A） ： A = A^T ∈ Q（S）} Consider the n × n sign pattern Sn, where Sn is the pattern with zero entry （i,j） for 1 ≤ i = j ≤ n or｜i -j｜=n- 1 and positive entry otherwise. In this paper, it is proved that si（Sn） = {（n1, n2, n - n1 - n2）｜n1≥ 1 and n2 ≥ 2} for n ≥ 4.

Hardy-Sobolev类上的Bohr型不等式

Let β 〉 0 and Sβ ：= {z ∈ C ： ｜Imz｜ 〈β} be a strip in the complex plane. For an integer r ≥ 0, let H∞^Г,β denote those real-valued functions f on R, which are analytic in Sβ and satisfy the restriction ｜f^（r）（z）｜ ≤ 1, z ∈ Sβ. For σ 〉 0, denote by Bσ the class of functions f which have spectra in （-2πσ, 2πσ）. And let Bσ^⊥ be the class of functions f which have no spectrum in （-2πσ, 2πσ）. We prove an inequality of Bohr type

The constant in the above inequality is exact.     

Regional, Single Point, and Global Blow-Up for the Fourth-Order Porous Medium Type Equation with Source

Blow-up behaviour for the fourth-order quasilinear porous medium equation with source,ut=-（｜u｜^nu）xxxx＋｜u｜^p-1u in R×R＋,where n 〉 0, p 〉 1, is studied. Countable and finite families of similarity blow-up patterns of the form us（x,t）=（T-t）^-1/p-1f（y）,where y=x/（T-t）^β＇ β=p-（n＋1）/4（p-1）,which blow-up as t → T^- 〈∞ are described. These solutions explain key features of regional （for p = n＋1）, single point （for p 〉 n＋1）, and global （for p ∈ （1,n＋1））blowup. The concepts and various variational, bifurcation, and numerical approaches for revealing the structure and multiplicities of such blow-up patterns are presented.

Large deviations for heavy-tailed random sums of independent random variables with dominatedly varying tails

We prove large deviation results on the partial and random sums Sn = ∑i=1n Xi,n≥1; S(t) = ∑i=1N(t) Xi, t≥0, where {N(t);t≥0} are non-negative integer-valued random variables and {Xn;n≥1} are independent non-negative random variables with distribution, Fn, of Xn, independent of {N(t); t≥0}. Special attention is paid to the distribution of dominated variation.

Let {εt;t ∈ Z} be a sequence of m-dependent B-valued random elements with mean zeros and finite second moment. {a3;j ∈ Z} is a sequence of real numbers satisfying ∑j=-∞^∞｜aj｜ 〈 ∞. Define a moving average process Xt = ∑j=-∞^∞aj＋tEj,t ≥ 1, and Sn = ∑t=1^n Xt,n ≥ 1. In this article, by using the weak convergence theorem of { Sn/√ n _〉 1}, we study the precise asymptotics of the complete convergence for the sequence {Xt; t ∈ N}.     

SOME POLYNOMIAL INEQUALITIES IN THE COMPLEX DOMAIN

P（z）=∑v=0^n cvz^v
be a polynomial of degree n and let M（f, r） = max｜z｜=r ｜f（z） ｜ for an arbitrary entire function f（z）. If P（z） has no zeros in ｜z｜ 〈 1 with M（P,1） = 1, then for ｜α｜ 〈 1, it is proved by Jain[Glasnik Matematicki, 32（52） （1997）, 45-51] that
｜P（Rz）＋α（R＋1/2）^nP（z）｜≤1/2{｜1＋α（R＋1/2）^n｜＋｜R^n＋α（（R＋1/2）^n｜},R≥1,｜z｜=1.
In this paper, we shall first obtain a result concerning minimum modulus of polynomials and next improve the above inequality for polynomials with restricted zeros. Our result improves the well known inequality due to Ankeny and Rivlin and besides generalizes some well known polynomial inequalities proved by Aziz and Dawood.

Smallest close to regular bipartite graphs without an almost perfect matching

A graph G is close to regular or more precisely a （d, d ＋ k）-graph, if the degree of each vertex of G is between d and d ＋ k. Let d ≥ 2 be an integer, and let G be a connected bipartite （d, d＋k）-graph with partite sets X and Y such that ｜X｜- ｜Y｜＋1. If G is of order n without an almost perfect matching, then we show in this paper that·n ≥ 6d ＋7 when k = 1,·n ≥ 4d＋ 5 when k = 2,·n ≥ 4d＋3 when k≥3.Examples will demonstrate that the given bounds on the order of G are the best possible.
