Convergence rates of the LIL for random fields in Hilbert spaces

Considering the positive d-dimensional lattice point Z ₊ ^d (d ≥ 2) with partial ordering ≤, let {X _k: k ∈ Z ₊ ^d } be i.i.d. random variables taking values in a real separable Hilbert space (H, ‖ · ‖) with mean zero and covariance operator Σ, and set $ S_n = \sum\limits_{k \leqslant n} {X_k } $ S_n = \sum\limits_{k \leqslant n} {X_k } , n ∈ Z ₊ ^d . Let σ _i ², i ≥ 1, be the eigenvalues of Σ arranged in the non-increasing order and taking into account the multiplicities. Let l be the dimension of the corresponding eigenspace, and denote the largest eigenvalue of Σ by σ ². Let logx = ln(x ∨ e), x ≥ 0. This paper studies the convergence rates for $ \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}} P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2\left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} } \right) $ \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}} P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2\left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} } \right) . We show that when l ≥ 2 and b > −l/2, E[‖X‖²(log ‖X‖) ^d−2(log log ‖X‖) ^b+4] < ∞ implies $ \begin{gathered} \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \searrow \sqrt {d - 1} } (\varepsilon ^2 - d + 1)^{b + l/2} \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt 2 \left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)} \hfill \\ = \frac{{K(\Sigma )(d - 1)^{\frac{{l - 2}} {2}} \Gamma (b + l/2)}} {{\Gamma (l/2)(d - 1)!}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $ \begin{gathered} \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \searrow \sqrt {d - 1} } (\varepsilon ^2 - d + 1)^{b + l/2} \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt 2 \left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)} \hfill \\ = \frac{{K(\Sigma )(d - 1)^{\frac{{l - 2}} {2}} \Gamma (b + l/2)}} {{\Gamma (l/2)(d - 1)!}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} , where Γ(·) is the Gamma function and $ \prod\limits_{i = l + 1}^\infty {((\sigma ^2 - \sigma _i^2 )/\sigma ^2 )^{ - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} } $ \prod\limits_{i = l + 1}^\infty {((\sigma ^2 - \sigma _i^2 )/\sigma ^2 )^{ - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} } .

Remarks on the Extremal Functions for the Moser-Trudinger Inequality

We will show in this paper that if A is very close to 1, then I（M,λ,m） =supu∈H0^1,n（m）,∫m｜△↓u｜^ndV=1∫Ω（e^αn｜u｜^n/（n-1）-λm∑k=1｜αnun/（n-1）｜k/k!）dV can be attained, where M is a compact-manifold with boundary. This result gives a counter-example to the conjecture of de Figueiredo and Ruf in their paper titled ＂On an inequality by Trudinger and Moser and related elliptic equations＂ （Comm. Pure. Appl. Math., 55, 135-152, 2002）.     

Local and Global Existence of Solutions to Initial Value Problems of Nonlinear Kaup-Kupershmidt Equations

This paper is devoted to studying the initial value problems of the nonlinear Kaup Kupershmidt equations δu/δt ＋ α1 uδ^2u/δx^2 ＋ βδ^3u/δx^3 ＋ γδ^5u/δx^5 = 0, （x,t）∈ E R^2, and δu/δt ＋ α2 δu/δx δ^2u/δx^2 ＋ βδ^3u/δx^3 ＋ γδ^5u/δx^5 = 0, （x, t） ∈R^2. Several important Strichartz type estimates for the fundamental solution of the corresponding linear problem are established. Then we apply such estimates to prove the local and global existence of solutions for the initial value problems of the nonlinear Kaup- Kupershmidt equations. The results show that a local solution exists if the initial function u0（x） ∈ H^s（R）, and s ≥ 5/4 for the first equation and s≥301/108 for the second equation.     

A Representation of the Lorentz Spin Group and Its Application

For an integer m ≥ 4, we define a set of 2[m/2] × 2[m/2] matrices γj （m）, （j = 0, 1,..., m - 1） which satisfy γj （m）γk （m） ＋γk （m）γj （m） = 2ηjk （m）I[m/2], where （ηjk （m）） 0≤j,k≤m-1 is a diagonal matrix, the first diagonal element of which is 1 and the others are -1, I[m/2] is a 2[m/1] × 2[m/2] identity matrix with [m/2] being the integer part of m/2. For m = 4 and 5, the representation （m） of the Lorentz Spin group is known. For m≥ 6, we prove that （i） when m = 2n, （n ≥ 3）, （m） is the group generated by the set of matrices {T｜T=1/√ξ（（I＋k） 0 ＋ 0 I-K） （ U 0 0 U）, （ii） when m = 2n ＋ 1 （n≥ 3）, （m） is generated by the set of matrices {T｜T=1/√ξ（I -k^- k I）U,U∈ （m-1）,ξ=1-m-2 ∑k,j=0 ηkja^k a^j〉0, K=i[m-3 ∑j=0 a^j γj（m-2）＋a^（m-2） In],K^-=i[m-3∑j=0 a^j γj（m-2）-a^（m-2） In]}

Estimates of the capacity of orthogonal arrays of large strength

D.G. Fon-Der-Flaass showed that Boolean correlation-immune n-variable functions of order m are resilient for $ m \geqslant \frac{{2n - 2}} {3} $ m \geqslant \frac{{2n - 2}} {3} . In this paper this theorem is generalized to orthogonal arrays. It is shown that orthogonal arrays of strength m not less than $ \frac{{2n - 2}} {3} $ \frac{{2n - 2}} {3} , where n is a number of factors having size at least 2 ⁿ⁻¹ and all arrays of size 2 ⁿ⁻¹, are simple.     

The fundamental solution of the Keldysh type operator

In this paper we discuss the fundamental solution of the Keldysh type operator $ L_\alpha u \triangleq \frac{{\partial ^2 u}} {{\partial x^2 }} + y\frac{{\partial ^2 u}} {{\partial y^2 }} + \alpha \frac{{\partial u}} {{\partial y}} $ L_\alpha u \triangleq \frac{{\partial ^2 u}} {{\partial x^2 }} + y\frac{{\partial ^2 u}} {{\partial y^2 }} + \alpha \frac{{\partial u}} {{\partial y}} , which is a basic mixed type operator different from the Tricomi operator. The fundamental solution of the Keldysh type operator with $ \alpha > - \frac{1} {2} $ \alpha > - \frac{1} {2} is obtained. It is shown that the fundamental solution for such an operator generally has stronger singularity than that for the Tricomi operator. Particularly, the fundamental solution of the Keldysh type operator with $ \alpha < \frac{1} {2} $ \alpha < \frac{1} {2} has to be defined by using the finite part of divergent integrals in the theory of distributions.

On the Relationship Between the Baum-Katz-Spitzer Complete Convergence Theorem and the Law of the Iterated Logarithm

For a sequence of i.i.d. Banach space-valued random variables {Xn; n ≥ 1} and a sequence of positive constants {an; n ≥ 1}, the relationship between the Baum-Katz-Spitzer complete convergence theorem and the law of the iterated logarithm is investigated. Sets of conditions are provided under which （i） lim sup n→∞ ｜｜Sn｜｜/an〈∞ a.s.and ∞ ∑n=1（1/n）P（｜｜Sn｜｜/an ≥ε〈∞for all ε 〉 λ for some constant λ ∈ [0, ∞） are equivalent; （ii） For all constants λ ∈ [0, ∞）, lim sup ｜｜Sn｜｜/an =λ a.s.and ^∞∑ n=1（1/n） P（｜｜Sn｜｜/an ≥ε）{〈∞, if ε〉λ =∞,if ε〈λare equivalent. In general, no geometric conditions are imposed on the underlying Banach space. Corollaries are presented and new results are obtained even in the case of real-valued random variables.
