On complete moment convergence of weighted sums for arrays of row-wise negatively associated random variables

Negatively associated (NA) random variables are a more general class of random variables which include a set of independent random variables and have been applied to many practical fields. In this paper, the complete moment convergence of weighted sums for arrays of row-wise NA random variables is investigated. Some sufficient conditions for complete moment convergence of weighted sums for arrays of row-wise NA random variables are established. Moreover, under the weaker conditions, we extend the results of Baek et al. [J. Korean Stat. Soc. 37 (2008), pp. 73–80] and Sung [Abstr. Appl. Anal. 2011 (2011)]. As an application, the complete moment convergence of moving average processes based on an NA random sequence is obtained, which improves the result of Li and Zhang [Stat. Probab. Lett. 70 (2004), pp. 191–197 ].     

Markov processes with darning and their approximations

In this paper, we study darning of general symmetric Markov processes by shorting some parts of the state space into singletons. A natural way to construct such processes is via Dirichlet forms restricted to the function spaces whose members take constant values on these collapsing parts. They include as a special case Brownian motion with darning, which has been studied in details in Chen (2012), Chen and Fukushima (2012) and Chen et al. (2016). When the initial processes have discontinuous sample paths, the processes constructed in this paper are the genuine extensions of those studied in Chen and Fukushima (2012). We further show that, up to a time change, these Markov processes with darning can be approximated in the sense of finite-dimensional distributions by introducing additional jumps with large intensity among these compact sets to be collapsed into singletons. For diffusion processes, it is also possible to get, up to a time change, diffusions with darning by increasing the conductance on these compact sets to infinity. To accomplish these, we give a version of the semigroup characterization of Mosco convergence to closed symmetric forms whose domain of definition may not be dense in the $L^2$-space. The latter is of independent interest and potentially useful to study convergence of Markov processes having different state spaces. Indeed, we show in Section 5 of this paper that Brownian motion in a plane with a very thin flag pole can be approximated by Brownian motion in the plane with a vertical cylinder whose horizontal motion on the cylinder is a circular Brownian motion moving at fast speed.

Arzelà's Theorem and strong uniform convergence on bornologies

In 1883 Arzelà (1983/1984) [2] gave a necessary and sufficient condition via quasi-uniform convergence for the pointwise limit of a sequence of real-valued continuous functions on a compact interval to be continuous. Arzelà's work paved the way for several outstanding papers. A milestone was the P.S. Alexandroff convergence introduced in 1948 to tackle the question for a sequence of continuous functions from a topological space (not necessarily compact) to a metric space. In 2009, in the realm of metric spaces, Beer and Levi (2009) [10] found another necessary and sufficient condition through the novel notion of strong uniform convergence on finite sets. We offer a direct proof of the equivalence of Arzelà, Alexandroff and Beer-Levi conditions. The proof reveals the internal gear of these important convergences and sheds more light on the problem. We also study the main properties of the topology of strong uniform convergence of functions on bornologies, initiated in Beer and Levi (2009) [10].     

The inexact, inexact perturbed, and quasi-Newton methods are equivalent models

A classical model of Newton iterations which takes into account some error terms is given by the quasi-Newton method, which assumes perturbed Jacobians at each step. Its high convergence orders were characterized by Dennis and Moré [Math. Comp. 28 (1974), 549-560]. The inexact Newton method constitutes another such model, since it assumes that at each step the linear systems are only approximately solved; the high convergence orders of these iterations were characterized by Dembo, Eisenstat and Steihaug [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 19 (1982), 400-408]. We have recently considered the inexact perturbed Newton method [J. Optim. Theory Appl. 108 (2001), 543-570] which assumes that at each step the linear systems are perturbed and then they are only approximately solved; we have characterized the high convergence orders of these iterates in terms of the perturbations and residuals.

In the present paper we show that these three models are in fact equivalent, in the sense that each one may be used to characterize the high convergence orders of the other two. We also study the relationship in the case of linear convergence and we deduce a new convergence result.

Weak convergence conditions for Inexact Newton-type methods

We establish a new semilocal convergence results for Inexact Newton-type methods for approximating a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach spaces setting. We show that our sufficient convergence conditions are weaker and the estimates of error bounds are tighter in some cases than in earlier works [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30] and [31]. Special cases and numerical examples are also provided in this study.     

Fixed point theorems for fuzzy numbers

In this paper we study the problem of the existence of fixed points for fuzzy maps. We first define uniform structures on sets of fuzzy subsets and describe the ‘closed convergence’ and ‘myope convergence’ structures which have properties close to the corresponding traditional ones. We then give two ways in order to obtain fixed point results. We finally give applications of these results, particularly to fuzzy Markov processes.

Relaxing the convergence conditions for Newton-like methods

Local as well as semilocal convergence theorems for Newton-like methods have been given by us and other authors [1]—[8] using various Lipschitz type conditions on the operators involved. Here we relax these conditions by introducing weaker center-Lipschitz type conditions. This way we can cover a wider range of problems than before in the semilocal case, where as in the local case a larger convergence radius can be obtained in some cases.     

Improving the order and rates of convergence for the Super-Halley method in Banach spaces

In this study we are concerned with the problem of approximating a locally unique solution of an equation on a Banach space. A semilocal convergence theorem is given for the Super-Halley method in Banach spaces. Earlier results have shown that the order of convergence is four for a certain class of operators [4], [5], [8]. These results were not given in affine invariant form, and made use of a real quadratic majorizing polynomial. Here, we provide our results in affine invariant form showing that the order of convergence is at least four. In cases that it is exactly four the rate of convergence is improved. We achieve these results by using a cubic majorizing polynomial. Some numerical examples are given to show that our error bounds are better than earlier ones.

Local convergence in a generalized Fermat-Weber problem

In the Fermat-Weber problem, the location of a source point in ^N is sought which minimizes the sum of weighted Euclidean distances to a set of destinations. A classical iterative algorithm known as the Weiszfeld procedure is used to find the optimal location. Kuhn proves global convergence except for a denumerable set of starting points, while Katz provides local convergence results for this algorithm. In this paper, we consider a generalized version of the Fermat-Weber problem, where distances are measured by anl _p norm and the parameterp takes on a value in the closed interval [1, 2]. This permits the choice of a continuum of distance measures from rectangular (p=1) to Euclidean (p=2). An extended version of the Weiszfeld procedure is presented and local convergence results obtained for the generalized problem. Linear asymptotic convergence rates are typically observed. However, in special cases where the optimal solution occurs at a singular point of the iteration functions, this rate can vary from sublinear to quadratic. It is also shown that for sufficiently large values ofp exceeding 2, convergence of the Weiszfeld algorithm will not occur in general.

A Kantorovich-type analysis for a fast iterative method for solving nonlinear equations

We revisit a fast iterative method studied by us in [I.K. Argyros, On a two-point Newton-like method of convergent order two, Int. J. Comput. Math. 88 (2) (2005) 219-234] to approximate solutions of nonlinear operator equations. The method uses only divided differences of order one and two function evaluations per step. This time we use a simpler Kantorovich-type analysis to establish the quadratic convergence of the method in the local as well as the semilocal case. Moreover we show that in some cases our method compares favorably, and can be used in cases where other methods using similar information cannot [S. Amat, S. Busquier, V.F. Candela, A class of quasi-Newton generalized Steffensen's methods on Banach spaces, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 149 (2) (2002) 397-406; D. Chen, On the convergence of a class of generalized Steffensen's iterative procedures and error analysis, Int. J. Comput. Math. 31 (1989) 195-203]. Numerical examples are provided to justify the theoretical results.
