Consider the ensemble of real symmetric Toeplitz matrices whose entries are i.i.d. random variables chosen from a fixed probability
distribution p of mean 0, variance 1, and finite higher moments. Previous work (Bryc et al., Ann. Probab. 34(1):1–38, 2006; Hammond and Miller, J. Theor. Probab. 18(3):537–566, 2005) showed that the spectral measures (the density of normalized eigenvalues) converge almost surely to a universal distribution
almost that of the Gaussian, independent of p. The deficit from the Gaussian distribution is due to obstructions to solutions of Diophantine equations and can be removed
(see Massey et al., J. Theor. Probab. 20(3):637–662, 2007) by making the first row palindromic. In this paper we study the case where there is more than one palindrome in the first
row of real symmetric Toeplitz matrices. Using the method of moments and an analysis of the resulting Diophantine equations,
we show that the spectral measures converge almost surely to a universal distribution. Assuming a conjecture on the resulting
Diophantine sums (which is supported by numerics and some theoretical arguments), we prove that the limiting distribution
has a fatter tail than any previously seen limiting spectral measure. 相似文献

In this paper, we establish strong laws for weighted sums of identically distributed negatively associated random variables.
Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund’s strong law of large numbers is extended to weighted sums of negatively associated random variables.
Furthermore, we investigate various limit properties of Cesàro’s and Riesz’s sums of negatively associated random variables.
Some of the results in the i.i.d. setting, such as those in Jajte (Ann. Probab. 31(1), 409–412, 2003), Bai and Cheng (Stat. Probab. Lett. 46, 105–112, 2000), Li et al. (J. Theor. Probab. 8, 49–76, 1995) and Gut (Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 97, 169–178, 1993) are also improved and extended to the negatively associated setting.

We settle a conjecture of Kella et al. (J. Appl. Probab. 42:223–234, 2005): the distribution of the number of jobs in the system of a symmetric M/G/1 queue at a fixed time is independent of the service discipline if the system starts empty. Our derivations are based on
a time-reversal argument for regenerative processes and a connection with a clearing model. 相似文献

In this paper, a theorem on the moderate deviation principle for random arrays under m-dependence with unbounded m is established. This partially extends the results of Chen (Stat. Probab. Lett. 35:123–134, 1997). As an application, the moderate deviation principle for the truncation estimator of the variance in the analysis of time
series is obtained.

Quasi-invariance of infinite product measures is studied when a locally compact second countable group acts on a standard
Borel space. A characterization of l
2-quasi-invariant infinite product measures is given. The group that leaves the measure class invariant is also studied. In
the case where the group acts on itself by translations, our result extends previous ones obtained by Shepp (Ann. Math. Stat.
36:1107–1112, 1965) and by Hora (Math. Z. 206:169–192, 1991; J. Theor. Probab. 5:71–100, 1992) to all connected Lie groups.

We consider the M/M/1 queue with processor sharing. We study the conditional sojourn time distribution, conditioned on the customer’s service
requirement, in various asymptotic limits. These include large time and/or large service request, and heavy traffic, where
the arrival rate is only slightly less than the service rate. The asymptotic formulas relate to, and extend, some results
of Morrison (SIAM J. Appl. Math. 45:152–167, [1985]) and Flatto (Ann. Appl. Probab. 7:382–409, [1997]).

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the ratio of two jointly α-Fréchet random variables to be regularly varying. This condition is based on the spectral representation of the joint distribution
and is easy to check in practice. Our result motivates the notion of the ratio tail index, which quantifies dependence features that are not characterized by the tail dependence index. As an application, we derive the asymptotic behavior of the quotient correlation coefficient proposed in Zhang (Ann Stat
36(2):1007–1030, 2008) in the dependent case. Our result also serves as an example of a new type of regular variation of products, different from
the ones investigated by Maulik et al (J Appl Probab 39(4):671–699, 2002). 相似文献

Precise Large Deviations of Random Sums in Presence of Negative Dependence and Consistent Variation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The study of precise large deviations for random sums is an important topic in insurance and finance. In this paper, we extend
recent results of Tang (Electron J Probab 11(4):107–120, 2006) and Liu (Stat Probab Lett 79(9):1290–1298, 2009) to random sums in various situations. In particular, we establish a precise large deviation result for a nonstandard renewal
risk model in which innovations, modelled as real-valued random variables, are negatively dependent with common consistently-varying-tailed
distribution, and their inter-arrival times are also negatively dependent. 相似文献

Recently, it has been shown that stochastic spatial Lotka–Volterra models, when suitably rescaled, can converge to a super-Brownian
motion. We show that the limit process can be a super-stable process if the kernel of the underlying motion is in the domain
of attraction of a stable law. The corresponding results in the Brownian setting were proved by Cox and Perkins (Ann. Probab.
33(3):904–947, 2005; Ann. Appl. Probab. 18(2):747–812, 2008). As applications of the convergence theorems, some new results on the asymptotics of the voter model started from single
1 at the origin are obtained, which improve the results by Bramson and Griffeath (Z. Wahrsch. Verw. Geb. 53:183–196, 1980). 相似文献

Consider a Markov additive chain (V,Z) with a negative horizontal drift on a half-plane. We provide the limiting distribution of Z when V passes a threshold for the first time, as V tends to infinity. Our contribution is to allow the Markovian part of an associated twisted Markov chain to be null recurrent or transient. The positive recurrent case was treated by Kesten [Ann. Probab. 2 (1974), 355–386]. Moreover, a ratio limit will be established for a transition kernel with unbounded jumps. 相似文献

In this paper, we continue the investigation of an estimator proposed in [Yu. Davydov, V. Paulauskas, and A. Račkauskas, More
on p-stable convex sets in Banach spaces, J. Theor. Probab., 13:39–64, 2000] and [V. Paulauskas, A new estimator for tail index, Acta Appl. Math., 79:55–67, 2003] and considered in [V. Paulauskas and M. Vaičiulis, Once more on comparison of tail index estimators, preprint, 2010]. We propose a class of modifications of the so-called DPR estimator and demonstrate that these modifications can have better
asymptotic properties than the original DPR estimator. 相似文献

The polynomial birth–death distribution (abbreviated, PBD) on ℐ={0,1,2,…} or ℐ={0,1,2,…,m} for some finite m introduced in Brown and Xia (Ann. Probab. 29:1373–1403, 2001) is the equilibrium distribution of the birth–death process with birth rates {α
i
} and death rates {β
i
}, where α
i
≥0 and β
i
≥0 are polynomial functions of i∈ℐ. The family includes Poisson, negative binomial, binomial, and hypergeometric distributions. In this paper, we give probabilistic
proofs of various Stein’s factors for the PBD approximation with α
i
=a and β
i
=i+bi(i−1) in terms of the Wasserstein distance. The paper complements the work of Brown and Xia (Ann. Probab. 29:1373–1403, 2001) and generalizes the work of Barbour and Xia (Bernoulli 12:943–954, 2006) where Poisson approximation (b=0) in the Wasserstein distance is investigated. As an application, we establish an upper bound for the Wasserstein distance
between the PBD and Poisson binomial distribution and show that the PBD approximation to the Poisson binomial distribution
is much more precise than the approximation by the Poisson or shifted Poisson distributions.

We consider a MAP/G/1 retrial queue where the service time distribution has a finite exponential moment. We derive matrix differential equations
for the vector probability generating functions of the stationary queue size distributions. Using these equations, Perron–Frobenius
theory, and the Karamata Tauberian theorem, we obtain the tail asymptotics of the queue size distribution. The main result
on light-tailed asymptotics is an extension of the result in Kim et al. (J. Appl. Probab. 44:1111–1118, 2007) on the M/G/1 retrial queue. 相似文献

We consider a one-dimensional stochastic control problem that arises from queueing network applications. The state process
corresponding to the queue-length process is given by a stochastic differential equation which reflects at the origin. The
controller can choose the drift coefficient which represents the service rate and the buffer size b>0. When the queue length reaches b, the new customers are rejected and this incurs a penalty. There are three types of costs involved: A “control cost” related
to the dynamically controlled service rate, a “congestion cost” which depends on the queue length and a “rejection penalty”
for the rejection of the customers. We consider the problem of minimizing long-term average cost, which is also known as the
ergodic cost criterion. We obtain an optimal drift rate (i.e. an optimal service rate) as well as the optimal buffer size
b
*>0. When the buffer size b>0 is fixed and where there is no congestion cost, this problem is similar to the work in Ata, Harrison and Shepp (Ann. Appl.
Probab. 15, 1145–1160, 2005). Our method is quite different from that of (Ata, Harrison and Shepp (Ann. Appl. Probab. 15, 1145–1160, 2005)). To obtain a solution to the corresponding Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation, we analyze a family of ordinary differential
equations. We make use of some specific characteristics of this family of solutions to obtain the optimal buffer size b

We discuss the complete convergence of weighted sums for arrays of rowwise negatively dependent random variables (ND r.v.’s)
to linear processes. As an application, we obtain the complete convergence of linear processes based on ND r.v.’s which extends
the result of Li et al. (Stat. Probab. Lett. 14:111–114, 1992), including the results of Baum and Katz (Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 120:108–123, 1965), from the i.i.d. case to a negatively dependent (ND) setting. We complement the results of Ahmed et al. (Stat. Probab. Lett.
58:185–194, 2002) and confirm their conjecture on linear processes in the ND case. 相似文献

This paper establishes a generalized comparison theorem for one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs)
whose generators are uniformly continuous in z and satisfy a kind of weakly monotonic condition in y. As applications, two new existence and uniqueness theorems for solutions of BSDEs are obtained. In the one-dimensional setting,
these results generalize some corresponding results in Pardoux and Peng (Syst. Control Lett. 14:55–61, 1990), Mao (Stoch. Process. Their Appl. 58:281–292, 1995), El Karoui et al. (Math.

We present an exact simulation algorithm for the stationary distribution of customer delay for FIFO M/G/c queues in which
ρ=λ/μ<c. In Sigman (J. Appl. Probab. 48A:209–216, 2011) an exact simulation algorithm was presented but only under the strong condition that ρ<1 (super stable case). We only assume that the service-time distribution G(x)=P(S≤x), x≥0, with mean 0<E(S)=1/μ<∞, and its corresponding equilibrium distribution $G_{e}(x)=\mu\int_{0}^{x} P(S>y)\,dy$G_{e}(x)=\mu\int_{0}^{x} P(S>y)\,dy are such that samples of them can be simulated. Unlike the methods used in Sigman (J. Appl. Probab. 48A:209–216, 2011) involving coupling from the past, here we use different methods involving discrete-time processes and basic regenerative
simulation, in which, as regeneration points, we use return visits to state 0 of a corresponding random assignment (RA) model
which serves as a sample-path upper bound. 相似文献
