On minimax filtration of vector processes

We study the problem of optimal linear estimation of the transformation of a stationary random process (t) with values in a Hilbert space by observations of the process (t) + (t) fort0. We obtain relations for computing the error and the spectral characteristic of the optimal linear estimate of the transformationA for given spectral densities of the processes (t) and (t). The minimax spectral characteristics and the least favorable spectral densities are obtained for various classes of densities.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 45, No. 3, pp. 389–397, March, 1993.

On the Growth of the Maximum of the Modulus of an Entire Function on a Sequence

Let M _f(r) and _f(r) be, respectively, the maximum of the modulus and the maximum term of an entire function f and let be a continuously differentiable function convex on (–, +) and such that x = o((x)) as x +. We establish that, in order that the equality be true for any entire function f, it is necessary and sufficient that ln (x) = o((x)) as x +.     

Die Verteilung der schlichten Funktionen in einem Funktionenraum

We consider the set of regular functions . We construct a Borel measure and a class of outer measures _h onH. With these and _h we show that: (HS)=0 and _h (HS)=0, (S is the set of normed univalent functions). From _h (HS)=0 follows—forh=t —that the Hausdorff—Billingsley-dimension ofHS is zero.     

On the Existence of Positive Solutions of Nonlinear Elliptic Equations

We study the existence of positive solutions of the nonlinear elliptic problem in D with u=0 on D, where and are two Randon's measures belonging to a Kato subclass and D is an unbounded smouth domain in ^d(d3). When g is superlinear at 0 and 0f(t)t for t(0,b), then probabilistic methods and fixed point argument are used to prove the existence of infinitely many bounded continuous solutions of this problem.     

Some functional inequalities and their Baire category properties

Summary In the paper we consider, from a topological point of view, the set of all continuous functionsf:I I for which the unique continuous solution:I – [0, ) of(f(x)) (x, (x)) and(x, (x)) (f(x)) (x, (x)), respectively, is the zero function. We obtain also some corollaries on the qualitative theory of the functional equation(f(x)) = g(x, (x)). No assumption on the iterative behaviour off is imposed.     

Nonlinear semigroups and age-dependent population models

Summary This paper treats the nonlinear age-dependent population problem (1)(0,a)=(a), a I; (2)(t, 0)=F((t, ·)), t0; (3) ,t0,where I is the age range of the population, (t, ·) is the unknown age density at time t, is the known initial age distribution, and the functionals F and G are nonlinear. The problems of existence, uniqueness, continuous dependence upon initial values, and the positivity of solutions are investigated using the method of nonlinear semigroups.Supported in part by the National Science Foundation Grant NSF 75-06332A01.

Compact Laws of the Iterated Logarithm for B-Valued Random Variables with Two-Dimensional Indices

Let be a real separable Banach space and {X, X _{n, m}; (n, m) N ²} B-valued i.i.d. random variables. Set . In this paper, the compact law of the iterated logarithm, CLIL(D), for B-valued random variables with two-dimensional indices ranging over a subset D of N ² is studied. There is a gap between the moment conditions for CLIL(N ¹) and those for CLIL(N ²). The main result of this paper fills this gap by presenting necessary and sufficient conditions for the sequence to be almost surely conditionally compact in B, where, for 0, 1 r 2, N ^r (, ) = {(n, m) N ²; n m n exp{(log n) ^r–1 (n)}} and (·) is any positive, continuous, nondecreasing function such that (t)/(log log t) is eventually decreasing as t , for some > 0.     

On the Ranked Excursion Heights of a Kiefer Process

Let (K(s,t), 0s1, t1) be a Kiefer process, i.e., a continuous two-parameter centered Gaussian process indexed by [0,1]×₊ whose covariance function is given by (K(s₁,t₁) K(s₂,t₂))=(s₁s₂-s₁s₂)t₁t₂, 0s₁, s₂1, t₁, t₂ 0. For each t>0, the process K(·,t) is a Brownian bridge on the scale of . Let M ₁ ^* (t) M ₂ ^* (t) M _j ^* (t) 0 be the ranked excursion heights of K(,t). In this paper, we study the path properties of the process tM _j ^* (t). Two laws of the iterated logarithm are established to describe the asymptotic behaviors of M _j ^* (t) as t goes to infinity.     

Some asymptotic results related to the law of iterated logarithm for Brownian motion

For 0<<1, let . The questions addressed in this paper are motivated by a result due to Strassen: almost surely, lim sup _t U ((t))=1–exp{–4(^–1)–1}. We show that Strassen's result is closely related to a large deviations principle for the family of random variablesU (t), t>0. Also, when =1,U (t)0 almost surely and we obtain some bounds on the rate of convergence. Finally, we prove an analogous limit theorem for discounted averages of the form as 0, whereD is a suitable discount function. These results also hold for symmetric random walks.

We prove that every distribution solution , of the considered form, satisfies the following universal (and sharp) L -bound:
