Evaluating Binomial Character Sums Modulo Powers of Two

We show that for any mod 2m characters, χ1, χ2, the complete exponential sum,∑~(2m)_(x=1)χ1(x)χ2(Ax~k+ B) has a simple explicit evaluation.     

A central limit theorem for generalized multilinear forms

Let X₁, …, X_n be independent random variables and define for each finite subset I {1, …, n} the σ-algebra = σ{X_i : i ε I}. In this paper -measurable random variables W_I are considered, subject to the centering condition E(W_I ) = 0 a.s. unless I J. A central limit theorem is proven for d-homogeneous sums W(n) = Σ_{I = d}W_I, with var W(n) = 1, where the summation extends over all (_n^d) subsets I {1, …, n} of size I = d, under the condition that the normed fourth moment of W(n) tends to 3. Under some extra conditions the condition is also necessary.     

Parametric Euler sum identities

We consider some parametrized classes of multiple sums first studied by Euler. Identities between meromorphic functions of one or more variables in many cases account for reduction formulae for these sums.     

General Kloosterman Sums and the Difference Between an Integer and Its Inverse Modulo Q

The main purpose of this paper is to use the generalized Bernoulli numbers, Gauss sums and the mean value theorems of Dirichlet L-functions to study the asymptotic property of one class of number-theoretic functions, and to give four interesting hybrid mean value formulae.     

A weak law for normed weighted sums of random elements in rademacher type p banach spaces

For weighted sums Σ_{j = 1}ⁿa_jV_j of independent random elements {V_n, n ≥ 1} in real separable, Rademacher type p (1 ≤ p ≤ 2) Banach spaces, a general weak law of large numbers of the form (Σ_{j = 1}ⁿa_jV_j − v_n)/b_n →^p 0 is established, where {v_n, n ≥ 1} and b_n → ∞ are suitable sequences. It is assumed that {V_n, n ≥ 1} is stochastically dominated by a random element V, and the hypotheses involve both the behavior of the tail of the distribution of |V| and the growth behaviors of the constants {a_n, n ≥ 1} and {b_n, n ≥ 1}. No assumption is made concerning the existence of expected values or absolute moments of the {V_n, n >- 1}.

A two-sided estimate in the Hsu-Robbins-Erdös law of large numbers

Let X₁, X₂, … be independent identically distributed random variables. Then, Hsu and Robbins (1947) together with Erdös (1949, 1950) have proved that

,

if and only if E[X²₁] < ∞ and E[X₁] = 0. We prove that there are absolute constants C₁, C₂ (0, ∞) such that if X₁, X₂, … are independent identically distributed mean zero random variables, then

c₁λ⁻² E[X₁²·1_{|X1|λ}]S(λ)C₂λ⁻² E[X₁²·1_{|X1|λ}]

,

for every λ > 0.     

Complete convergence for arrays

Let {(X _nk , 1≤k≤n),n≥1}, be an array of rowwise independent random variables. We extend and generalize some recent results due to Hu, Móricz and Taylor concerning complete convergence, in the sense of Hsu and Robbins, of the sequence of rowwise arithmetic means.
