The best choice problem with an unknown number of objects

The secretary problem with a known prior distribution of the number of candidates is considered. Ifp(i)=p(N=i),i [, ] , where=inf{i :p(i) > 0} and=sup{i :p(i)0}, is the prior distribution of the numberN of candidates it will be shown that, if the optimal stopping rule is of the simple form, then the optimal stopping indexj=min satisfies asymptotically (as ) the equationj=exp .The probability of selecting the best object by the corresponding policy will be (j-1) p(i)/i. We also give an example of the distributionp for which the optimal stopping rule consists of a stopping set with two islands. We present an asymptotical solution for this example.     

On Rounding Error Sums Related to the Circle Problem

For a large real parameter t and 0 a b we consider sums where is the rounding error function, i.e. (z) = z - [z] - 1/2. We generalize Huxley's well known estimate by showing that holds uniformly in 0 a b . Fruther, we investigate an analogous question related to the divisor problem and show that the inequality , which (due to Huxley) holds uniformly in 0 a b , and which is in general not true for 1 a b t, is true uniformly in 0 a b .     

The Boundary Equivalence for Rings and Matrix Rings over Them

We study into the question of whether some rings and their associated matrix rings have equal decidability boundaries in the scheme and scheme-alternative hierarchies. Let be a decidability boundary for an algebraic system A; w.r.t. the hierarchy H. For a ring R, denote by an algebra with universe . On this algebra, define the operations + and in such a way as to extend, if necessary, the initial matrices by suitably many zero rows and columns added to the underside and to the right of each matrix, followed by ordinary addition and multiplication of the matrices obtained. The main results are collected in Theorems 1-3. Theorem 1 holds that if R is a division or an integral ring, and R has zero or odd characteristic, then the equalities hold for any n1. And if R is an arbitrary associative ring with identity then for any n 1 and i,j { 1,..., n}, where e _ij is a matrix identity. Theorem 2 maintains that if R is an associative ring with identity then . Theorem 3 proves that for any n 1.     

On relations among moduli of continuity in Lorentz spaces

Estimates are obtained among moduli of continuity of functions in several variables that belong to various Lorentz spaces. The functions considered are periodic with period 1 in each variable. More exactly the following theorem is proved: If 0<,<(t) and (t) are so-called -functions such that _;>₁>1, and

On the Structure of a Certain Class of Mixed Tsirelson Spaces

We study Banach spaces of the form We call such a space a p-space, p[1,), if for every k the space is isomorphic to _pk and the sequence (p_k) strictly decreases to p. We examine the finite block representability of the spaces _r in a p-space proving that it depends not only on p but also on the sequences (p_k) and (n_k). Assuming that _i n_i ^1/q decreases to 0, where q is the conjugate exponent of p, we prove the existence of an asymptotic biorthogonal system in X and also that c ₀ is finitely representable in X. Moreover we investigate the modified versions of p-spaces proving that, if n_km1/pkm-1/pk_m-1 increases to infinity for a subsequence (n_km) , then ₁ embeds into X. We also investigate complemented minimality for the class of spaces where is either a subsequence of the sequence of Schreier classes ( _n)_{n N} or a subsequence of ( _n)_{n N}.

Generalization of some classical inequalities in the theory of orthogonal series

Let {X_i} _– be a sequence of random variables, E(X_i) 0. If 1, estimates for the -th moments can be derived from known estimates of the -th moment. Here we generalized the Men'shov-Rademacher inequality for =2 for orthonormal X_i, to the case 1 and dependent random variables. The Men'shov-Payley inequality >2 for orthonormal X_i) is generalized for >2 to general random variables. A theorem is also proved that contains both the Erdös -Stechkin theorem and Serfling's theorem withv > 2 for dependent random variables.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 17, No. 2, pp. 219–230, February, 1975.This article was written while the author was working in the V.

Efficient Estimation in a Semiparametric Autoregressive Model

This paper constructs efficient estimates of the parameter in the semiparametric auto-regression model ,with a smooth function and independent and identically distributed innovations _t with zero means and finite variances. This will be done under the assumptions that and that the errors have a density with finite Fisher information for location. The former condition guarantees that the process can be chosen to be stationary and ergodic.
