Let be a sequence of independent equidistributed random vectors with . Let , where and denotes the indicator function of the event in brackets. If, for example, are the gains and are the indicators of success in repetitions of a game of chance, then is the maximal gain along head runs (sequences of successes without interruptions) of length j. We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the values , , where is the length of the longest head run in . We show that the asymptotics of the values depend significantly on the growth rate of j and that these asymptotics vary from the strong noninvariance (as in the ErdsRéenyi law of large numbers) to the strong invariance (as in the CsöorgRévész strong approximation laws). We also consider the Shepp-type statistics. Bibliography: 17 titles.     

Sharp Estimates for Deviations of Linear Approximation Methods for Periodic Functions by Linear Combinations of Moduli of Continuity of Different Order

Estimates for deviations are established for a large class of linear methods of approximation of periodic functions by linear combinations of moduli of continuity of different orders. These estimates are sharp in the sense of constants in the uniform and integral metrics. In particular, the following assertion concerning approximation by splines is proved: Suppose that is odd, . Then

Minihypers and Linear Codes Meeting the Griesmer Bound: Improvements to Results of Hamada, Helleseth and Maekawa

This article improves results of Hamada, Helleseth and Maekawa on minihypers in projective spaces and linear codes meeting the Griesmer bound.In [10,12],it was shown that any -minihyper, with , where , is the disjoint union of points, lines,..., -dimensional subspaces. For q large, we improve on this result by increasing the upper bound on non-square, to non-square, square, , and (4) for square, p prime, p<3, to . In the case q non-square, the conclusion is the same as written above; the minihyper is the disjoint union of subspaces. When q is square however, the minihyper is either the disjoint union of subspaces, or the disjoint union of subspaces and one subgeometry . For the coding-theoretical problem, our results classify the corresponding codes meeting the Griesmer bound.
