Complete moment and integral convergence for sums of negatively associated random variables

For a sequence of identically distributed negatively associated random variables {Xn; n ≥ 1} with partial sums Sn = ∑i=1^n Xi, n ≥ 1, refinements are presented of the classical Baum-Katz and Lai complete convergence theorems. More specifically, necessary and sufficient moment conditions are provided for complete moment convergence of the form ∑n≥n0 n^r-2-1/pq anE（max1≤k≤n｜Sk｜^1/q-∈bn^1/qp）^＋〈∞to hold where r 〉 1, q 〉 0 and either n0 = 1,0 〈 p 〈 2, an = 1,bn = n or n0 = 3,p = 2, an = 1 （log n） ^1/2q, bn=n log n. These results extend results of Chow and of Li and Spataru from the indepen- dent and identically distributed case to the identically distributed negatively associated setting. The complete moment convergence is also shown to be equivalent to a form of complete integral convergence.     

Boundedness and compactness of the embedding between spaces with multiweighted derivatives when 1 ⩽ <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis> < <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> < ∞

We consider a new Sobolev type function space called the space with multiweighted derivatives $ W_{p,\bar \alpha }^n $ W_{p,\bar \alpha }^n , where $ \bar \alpha $ \bar \alpha = (α ₀, α ₁,…, α _n ), α _i ∈ ℝ, i = 0, 1,…, n, and $ \left\| f \right\|W_{p,\bar \alpha }^n = \left\| {D_{\bar \alpha }^n f} \right\|_p + \sum\limits_{i = 0}^{n - 1} {\left| {D_{\bar \alpha }^i f(1)} \right|} $ \left\| f \right\|W_{p,\bar \alpha }^n = \left\| {D_{\bar \alpha }^n f} \right\|_p + \sum\limits_{i = 0}^{n - 1} {\left| {D_{\bar \alpha }^i f(1)} \right|} ,

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}} } .

Local limit theorem for the first crossing time of a fixed level by a random walk

Let X,X(1),X(2),... be independent identically distributed random variables with mean zero and a finite variance. Put S(n) = X(1) + ... + X(n), n = 1, 2,..., and define the Markov stopping time η _y = inf {n ≥ 1: S(n) ≥ y} of the first crossing a level y ≥ 0 by the random walk S(n), n = 1, 2,.... In the case $ \mathbb{E} $ \mathbb{E} |X|³ < ∞, the following relation was obtained in [8]: $ \mathbb{P}\left( {\eta _0 = n} \right) = \frac{1} {{n\sqrt n }}\left( {R + \nu _n + o\left( 1 \right)} \right) $ \mathbb{P}\left( {\eta _0 = n} \right) = \frac{1} {{n\sqrt n }}\left( {R + \nu _n + o\left( 1 \right)} \right) as n → ∞, where the constant R and the bounded sequence ν _n were calculated in an explicit form. Moreover, there were obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the limit existence $ H\left( y \right): = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } n^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} \mathbb{P}\left( {\eta _y = n} \right) $ H\left( y \right): = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } n^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} \mathbb{P}\left( {\eta _y = n} \right) for every fixed y ≥ 0, and there was found a representation for H(y). The present paper was motivated by the following reason. In [8], the authors unfortunately did not cite papers [1, 5] where the above-mentioned relations were obtained under weaker restrictions. Namely, it was proved in [5] the existence of the limit $ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } n^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} \mathbb{P}\left( {\eta _y = n} \right) $ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } n^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} \mathbb{P}\left( {\eta _y = n} \right) for every fixed y ≥ 0 under the condition $ \mathbb{E} $ \mathbb{E} X ² < ∞ only; In [1], an explicit form of the limit $ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } n^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} \mathbb{P}\left( {\eta _0 = n} \right) $ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } n^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} \mathbb{P}\left( {\eta _0 = n} \right) was found under the same condition $ \mathbb{E} $ \mathbb{E} X ² < ∞ in the case when the summand X has an arithmetic distribution. In the present paper, we prove that the main assertion in [5] fails and we correct the original proof. It worth noting that this corrected version was formulated in [8] as a conjecture.     

Higher derivations of ore extensions

Let R be a prime ring and δ a derivation of R. Divided powers $ D_n ^{\underline{\underline {def.}} } \tfrac{1} {{n!}}\tfrac{{d^n }} {{dx^n }} $ D_n ^{\underline{\underline {def.}} } \tfrac{1} {{n!}}\tfrac{{d^n }} {{dx^n }} of ordinary differentiation d/dx form Hasse-Schmidt higher derivations of the Ore extension (skew polynomial ring) R[x; δ]. They have been used crucially but implicitly in the investigation of R[x; δ]. Our aim is to explore this notion. The following is proved among others: Let Q be the left Martindale quotient ring of R. It is shown that $ S^{\underline{\underline {def.}} } Q[x;\delta ] $ S^{\underline{\underline {def.}} } Q[x;\delta ] is a quasi-injective (R, R)-module and that any (R,R)-bimodule endomorphism of S can be uniquely expressed in the form

The generalized Roper-Suffridge extension operator in Banach spaces (III)

Suppose that X is a complex Banach space with the norm ‖·‖ and n is a positive integer with dim X ⩾ n ⩾ 2. In this paper, we consider the generalized Roper-Suffridge extension operator $ \Phi _{n,\beta _2 ,\gamma _2 , \ldots ,\beta _{n + 1} ,\gamma _{n + 1} } (f) $ \Phi _{n,\beta _2 ,\gamma _2 , \ldots ,\beta _{n + 1} ,\gamma _{n + 1} } (f) on the domain $ \Omega _{p_1 ,p_2 , \ldots ,p_{n + 1} } $ \Omega _{p_1 ,p_2 , \ldots ,p_{n + 1} } defined by

On the trigonometric polynomials of Fejér and Young

The trigonometric polynomials of Fejér and Young are defined by $S_n (x) = \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\tfrac{{\sin (kx)}} {k}}$S_n (x) = \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\tfrac{{\sin (kx)}} {k}} and $C_n (x) = 1 + \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\tfrac{{\cos (kx)}} {k}}$C_n (x) = 1 + \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\tfrac{{\cos (kx)}} {k}}, respectively. We prove that the inequality $\left( {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 9}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 9}} \right)\sqrt {15} \leqslant {{C_n \left( x \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{C_n \left( x \right)} {S_n \left( x \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {S_n \left( x \right)}}$\left( {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 9}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 9}} \right)\sqrt {15} \leqslant {{C_n \left( x \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{C_n \left( x \right)} {S_n \left( x \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {S_n \left( x \right)}} holds for all n ≥ 2 and x ∈ (0, π). The lower bound is sharp.

Normality and quasinormality of zero-free meromorphic functions

Let k, K ∈ N and F be a family of zero-free meromorphic functions in a domain D such that for each f ∈ F , f(k)-1 has at most K zeros, ignoring multiplicity. Then F is quasinormal of order at most ν = K k+1 , where ν is equal to the largest integer not exceeding K/k+1 . In particular, if K = k, then F is normal. The results are sharp.

Let F _n be the nth Fibonacci number. The Fibonomial coefficients \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ k \\ \end{array} } \right]_F\) are defined for n ≥ k > 0 as follows $$\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ k \\ \end{array} } \right]_F = \frac{{F_n F_{n - 1} \cdots F_{n - k + 1} }} {{F_1 F_2 \cdots F_k }},$$ with \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ 0 \\ \end{array} } \right]_F = 1\) and \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ k \\ \end{array} } \right]_F = 0\) . In this paper, we shall provide several identities among Fibonomial coefficients. In particular, we prove that $$\sum\limits_{j = 0}^{4l + 1} {\operatorname{sgn} (2l - j)\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {4l + 1} \\ j \\ \end{array} } \right]_F F_{n - j} = \frac{{F_{2l - 1} }} {{F_{4l + 1} }}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {4l + 1} \\ {2l} \\ \end{array} } \right]_F F_{n - 4l - 1} ,}$$ holds for all non-negative integers n and l.
