On Strassen's version of the law of the iterated logarithm for the two-parameter Gaussian process

Strassen's version of the law of the iterated logarithm is extended to the two-parameter Gaussian process {X(s, t); ε(s, t) [0, ∞)²} with the covariance function R((s₁,t₁),(s₂,t₂)) = min(s₁,s₂)min(t₁,t₂).     

Laws of the iterated logarithm for iterated Wiener processes

The recent interest in iterated Wiener processes was motivated by apparently quite unrelated studies in probability theory and mathematical statistics. Laws of the iterated logarithm (LIL) were independently obtained by Burdzy⁽²⁾ and Révész⁽¹⁷⁾. In this work, we present a functional version of LIL for a standard iterated Wiener process, in the spirit of functional asymptotic results of an ²-valued Gaussian process given by Deheuvels and Mason⁽⁹⁾ in view of Bahadur-Kiefer-type theorems. Chung's liminf sup LIL is established as well, thus providing further insight into the asymptotic behavior of iterated Wiener processes.     

On the Makarov law of the iterated logarithm

We obtain considerable improvement of Makarov's estimate of the boundary behavior of a general conformal mapping from the unit disk to a simply connected domain in the complex plane. We apply the result to improve Makarov's comparison of harmonic measure with Hausdorff measure on simply connected domains.

     

Laws of the iterated logarithm for high-dimensional wiener sausage

Let {β(s), s ≥ 0} be the standard Brownian motion in ℝ ^d with d ≥ 4 and let |W _r (t)| be the volume of the Wiener sausage associated with {β(s), s ≥ 0} observed until time t. From the central limit theorem of Wiener sausage, we know that when d ≥ 4 the limit distribution is normal. In this paper, we study the laws of the iterated logarithm for | W_r (t) | - \mathbbE| W_r (t) |\left| {W_r (t)} \right| - \mathbb{E}\left| {W_r (t)} \right| in this case.     

Rates of convergence for increments of Brownian motion

On the law of the iterated logarithm for Gaussian processes

We present some optimal conditions for the compact law of the iterated logarithm of a sequence of jointly Gaussian processes in different situations. We also discuss the local law of the iterated logarithm for Gaussian processes indexed by arbitrary index sets, in particular for self-similar Gaussian processes. We apply these results to obtain the law of the iterated logarithm for compositions of Gaussian processes. Research partially supported by NSF Grant DMS-93-02583.

Recently, a functional central limit theorem and a Berry-Essen Theorem have been demonstrated for classes or associated random variables. Using these results, and similar results for multiplicative sequences, we show a functional law of the iterated logarithm for associated sequences satisfying a rate requirement.

The law of the iterated logarithm and Marcinkiewicz law of large numbers forB-valuedU-statistics

Suppose thatB is a separable Banach space and (S,l,P) a probability space.H is a measurable symmetric kernel function fromS ^m intoB. In this paper we shall further study some limit theorems forB-valuedU-statisticsU _m ⁿ H based onP andH. Special attention is paid upon the Marcinkiewicz type law of large numbers and the law of the iterated logarithm. Our results can be regarded as extensions of corresponding results for sums of independentB-valued random variables toU-statistics.Research supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China and Zhejiang Province.     

A problem of Földes and Puri on the Wiener process

Let be a real-valued Wiener process starting from 0, and be the right-continuous inverse process of its local time at 0. Földes and Puri [3] raise the problem of studying the almost sure asymptotic behavior of as tends to infinity, i.e. they ask: how long does stay in a tube before ``crossing very much" a given level? In this note, both limsup and liminf laws of the iterated logarithm are provided for .

     

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.
