Integration and Lipschitz functions

The aim of the paper is to prove that every f ∈ L ¹([0,1]) is of the form f = , where j _n,k is the characteristic function of the interval [k- 1 / 2 ⁿ , k / 2 ⁿ ) and Σ _n=0^∞Σ _k=1²ⁿ |a _n,k | is arbitrarily close to ||f|| (Theorem 2). It is also shown that if μ is any probabilistic Borel measure on [0,1], then for any ɛ > 0 there exists a sequence (b _n,k ) _n≧0 ^k=1,...,2n of real numbers such that and for each Lipschitz function g: [0,1] → ℝ (Theorem 3).      

A note on symbolic and ordinary powers of homogeneous ideals

In this note we are interested in the graded modulesM _k=I^(k)/I^k and , whereI is a saturated ideal in the homogeneous coordinate ringS=K[x₀,…,x_n] of ℙⁿ,I ^(k) is the symbolic power and is the saturation of the ordinary power. Very little is known about these modules, and we provide a bound on their diameters, we compute the Hilbert functions and we study some characteristic submodules in the special case ofn+1 general points in ℙⁿ.

Regular simplices, symmetric polynomials and the mean value property

LetP be ann-dimensional regular simplex in ℝⁿ centered at the origin, and let P(k) be thek-skeleton ofP fork = 0, 1,…,n. Then the set of all continuous functions in ℝⁿ satisfying the mean value property with respect to P(k) forms a finite-dimensional linear space of harmonic polynomials. In this paper the function space is explicitly determined by group theoretic and combinatorial arguments for symmetric polynomials.

Conditions are obtained for (*)E|S _T |^γ<∞, γ>2 whereT is a stopping time and {S _n=∑ ₁ ⁿ ,X _j ℱ _n ,n⩾1} is a martingale and these ensure when (**)X _n ,n≥1 are independent, mean zero random variables that (*) holds wheneverET ^γ/2<∞, sup _n≥1 E|X _n |^γ<∞. This, in turn, is applied to obtain conditions for the validity ofE|S _k,T |^γ<∞ and of the second moment equationES _k,T ² =σ ² EΣ _j=k ^T S _k−1,j−1 ² where and {X _n , n≥1} satisfies (**) and ,n≥1. The latter is utilized to elicit information about a moment of a stopping rule. It is also shown for i.i.d. {X _n , n≥1} withEX=0,EX ²=1 that the a.s. limit set of {(n log logn)^−k/2 S _k,n ,n≥k} is [0,2 ^k/2/k!] or [−2 ^k/2/k!] according ask is even or odd and this can readily be reformulated in terms of the corresponding (degenerate kernel)U-statistic .     

On Sikkema-Kantorovič polynomials of order K

Let a_n≥0 and F(u)∈C [0,1], Sikkema constructed polynomials: , ifα _n ≡0, then B_n (0, F, x) are Bernstein polynomials. Let , we constructe new polynomials in this paper: Q _n ^(k) (α _n ,f(t))=d ^k /dx ^k B _n+k (α _n ,F _k (u),x), which are called Sikkema-Kantorovic polynomials of order k. Ifα _n ≡0, k=1, then Q_n ⁽¹⁾ (0, f(t), x) are Kantorovič polynomials P_n(f). Ifα _n =0, k=2, then Q_n ⁽²⁾, (0, f(t), x) are Kantorovič polynomials of second order (see Nagel). The main result is: Theorem 2. Let 1≤p≤∞, in order that for every f∈L^P [0, 1], , it is sufficient and necessary that , § 1. Let f(t) de a continuous function on [a, b], i. e., f∈C [a, b], we define^{[1–2],[8–10]}: . As usual, for the space L^p [a,b](1≤p<∞), we have and L[a, b]=l¹[a, b].

Inclusion-exclusion inequalities

Ifμ is a positive measure, andA ₂, ...,A _n are measurable sets, the sequencesS ₀, ...,S _n andP _[0], ...,P _[n] are related by the inclusion-exclusion equalities. Inequalities among theS _i are based on the obviousP _[k]≧0. Letting =the average average measure of the intersection ofk of the setsA _i , it is shown that (−1) ^k Δ ^k M _i ≧0 fori+k≦n. The casek=1 yields Fréchet’s inequalities, andk=2 yields Gumbel’s and K. L. Chung’s inequalities. Generalizations are given involvingk-th order divided differences. Using convexity arguments, it is shown that forS ₀=1, whenS ₁≧N−1, and for 1≦k<N≦n andv=0, 1, .... Asymptotic results asn → ∞ are obtained. In particular it is shown that for fixedN, for all sequencesM ₀, ...,M _n of sufficiently large length if and only if for 0<t<1.

Consider the parameter space Θ which is an open subset of ℝ ^k ,k≧1, and for each θ∈Θ, let the r.v.′sY _n ,n=0, 1, ... be defined on the probability space (X,A,P _θ) and take values in a Borel setS of a Euclidean space. It is assumed that the process {Y _n },n≧0, is Markovian satisfying certain suitable regularity conditions. For eachn≧1, let υ _n be a stopping time defined on this process and have some desirable properties.

For every compact set K of rational approximation (i.e. Vitushkin set), and every function f, continuous on K and holomorphic in the interior of K, there exists a subsequence {n _k } of ? such that $ \left\{ {\varphi \left( {z + \lambda _{n_k } } \right)} \right\} The paper proves the following result on universal meromorphic approximation: Given any unbounded sequence {λ _n } ⊂ ℂ, there exists a function ϕ, meromorphic on ℂ, with the following property. For every compact set K of rational approximation (i.e. Vitushkin set), and every function f, continuous on K and holomorphic in the interior of K, there exists a subsequence {n _k } of ℕ such that converges to f(z) uniformly on K. A similar result is obtained for arbitrary domains G ≠ ℂ. Moreover, in case {λ _n }={n} the function ϕ is frequently universal in terms of Bayart/Grivaux [3]. Original Russian Text ?

Distribution and moment convergence of martingales

Summary If where {X _{n j} ,ℱ _{n j} 1≦j≦m _n ↑∞, n≧1} is a martingale difference array, conditions are given for the distribution and moment convergence of S _n,k to the distribution and moments of where H _k is the Hermite polynomial of degree k and Z is a standard normal variable.

Deterministic extractors for affine sources over large fields

An (n,k)-affine source over a finite field is a random variable X = (X ₁,..., X _n ) ∈ , which is uniformly distributed over an (unknown) k-dimensional affine subspace of . We show how to (deterministically) extract practically all the randomness from affine sources, for any field of size larger than n ^c (where c is a large enough constant). Our main results are as follows:
