A supplement to precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm

Let be a sequence of real-valued i.i.d. random variables with E(X)=0 and E(X²)=1, and set , n?1. This paper studies the precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm. For example, using a result on convergence rates for probabilities of moderate deviations for obtained by Li et al. [Internat. J. Math. Math. Sci. 15 (1992) 481-497], we prove that, for every b∈(−1/2,1],

     

Asymptotics for self-normalized random products of sums of i.i.d. random variables

Let be a sequence of independent and identically distributed positive random variables, which is in the domain of attraction of the normal law, and tn be a positive, integer random variable. Denote , , where denotes the sample mean. Then we show that the self-normalized random product of the partial sums, , is still asymptotically lognormal under a suitable condition about tn.

On powers of the Heaviside function for negative integers

The distributions and were defined as the neutrix limit of the sequences and respectively for , see [J.D. Nicholos, B. Fisher, The distribution composition , J. Math. Anal. Appl. 258 (2001) 131-145; B. Fisher, On defining the distribution , Univ. u Novom Sadu Zb. Rad. Prirod. Mat. Fak. Ser. Mat. 15 (1985) 119-129]. We here consider these distributions when r=0. In other words, we define the sth powers of the Heaviside function H(x) in the distributional sense for negative integers. Further compositions are also considered.     

Generalized vector valued almost periodic and ergodic distributions

Schwartz's almost periodic distributions are generalized to the case of Banach space valued distributions , and furthermore for a given arbitrary class A to for φ∈ test functions D(R,C)}. It is shown that this extension process is iteration complete, i.e. . Moreover the T from are characterized in various ways, also tempered distributions with P={X-valued functions of polynomial growth} are shown. Under suitable assumptions , , where for all h>0}, is defined with the corresponding extension of Mh. With an extension of the indefinite integral from to D^′(R,X) a distribution analogue to the Bohl-Bohr-Amerio-Kadets theorem on the almost periodicity of bounded indefinite integrals of almost periodic functions is obtained, also for almost automorphic, Levitan almost periodic and recurrent functions, similar for a result of Levitan concerning ergodic indefinite integrals. For many of the above results a new (Δ)-condition is needed, we show that it holds for most of the A needed in applications. Also an application to the study of asymptotic behavior of distribution solutions of neutral integro-differential-difference systems is given.     

A note on maximality of analytic crossed products

Let G be a compact abelian group with the totally ordered dual group which admits the positive semigroup . Let N be a von Neumann algebra and be an automorphism group of on N. We denote to the analytic crossed product determined by N and α. We show that if is a maximal σ-weakly closed subalgebra of , then induces an archimedean order in .     

Strong convergence of the composite Halpern iteration

Let C be a closed convex subset of a uniformly smooth Banach space E and let T:C→C be a nonexpansive mapping with a nonempty fixed points set. Given a point u∈C, the initial guess x₀∈C is chosen arbitrarily and given sequences , and in (0,1), the following conditions are satisfied:

Kolmogorov and linear widths of weighted Besov classes

We study the Kolmogorov m-widths and the linear m-widths of the weighted Besov classes on [−1,1], where Lq,μ, 1?q?∞, denotes the Lq space on [−1,1] with respect to the measure , μ>0. Optimal asymptotic orders of and as m→∞ are obtained for all 1?p,τ?∞. It turns out that in many cases, the orders of are significantly smaller than the corresponding orders of the best m-term approximation by ultraspherical polynomials, which is somewhat surprising.     

On the asymptotic stability of equilibrium

The classical criterion of asymptotic stability of the zero solution of equations x^′=f(t,x) is that there exists a positive definite function V which has infinitesimal upper bound such that is negative definite. In this paper we prove that if is bounded then the condition that is negative definite can be weakened and replaced by that and is negative definite.     

Convergence in mean of some random Fourier series

For a symmetric stable process X(t,ω) with index α∈(1,2], f∈Lp[0,2π], p?α, and , we establish that the random Fourier-Stieltjes (RFS) series converges in the mean to the stochastic integral , where fβ is the fractional integral of order β of the function f for . Further it is proved that the RFS series is Abel summable to . Also we define fractional derivative of the sum of order β for an, An(ω) as above and . We have shown that the formal fractional derivative of the series of order β exists in the sense of mean.     

Bounded Toeplitz products on the weighted Bergman spaces of the unit ball

Let p>1 and let q denote the number such that (1/p)+(1/q)=1. We give a necessary condition for the product of Toeplitz operators to be bounded on the weighted Bergman space of the unit ball (α>−1), where and , as well as a sufficient condition for to be bounded on . We use techniques different from those in [K. Stroethoff, D. Zheng, Bounded Toeplitz products on Bergman spaces of the unit ball, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 325 (2007) 114-129], in which the case p=2 was proved.     

Reflexivity and hyperreflexivity of operator spaces

In this paper, we show that if is an n-dimensional subspace of L(V) such that every nonzero transformation of has rank greater than or equal to 2n−1 then is algebraically reflexive. If is an n-dimensional subspace of B(H) such that every nonzero transformation of  has rank greater than or equal to 2n−1 then is hyperreflexive. We also consider how to construct some new hyperreflexive subspaces.     

Systems of orthogonal polynomials arising from the modular j-function

Let be the polynomial whose zeros are the j-invariants of supersingular elliptic curves over . Generalizing a construction of Atkin described in a recent paper by Kaneko and Zagier (Computational Perspectives on Number Theory (Chicago, IL, 1995), AMS/IP 7 (1998) 97-126), we define an inner product on for every . Suppose a system of orthogonal polynomials {P_n,ψ(x)}_n=0^∞ with respect to exists. We prove that if n is sufficiently large and ψ(x)P_n,ψ(x) is p-integral, then over . Further, we obtain an interpretation of these orthogonal polynomials as a p-adic limit of polynomials associated to p-adic modular forms.     

Majorization of regular measures and weights with finite and positive critical exponent

For the sets , 1?p<∞, of positive finite Borel measures μ on the real axis with the set of algebraic polynomials P dense in Lp(R,dμ), we establish a majorization principle of their “boundaries,” i.e. for every there exists such that dμ/dν?1. A corresponding principle holds for the sets , p>0, of non-negative upper semi-continuous on R functions (weights) w such that P is dense in the space : For every there exists such that w?ω.     

Analysis of a system of fractional differential equations

We prove existence and uniqueness theorems for the initial value problem for the system of fractional differential equations , where D^α denotes standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, 0<α<1, and A is a square matrix. The unique solution to this initial value problem turns out to be , where E_α denotes the Mittag-Leffler function generalized for matrix arguments. Further we analyze the system , , 0<α<1, and investigate dependence of the solutions on the initial conditions.
