设{xn,m≥1}是独立同分布随机变量序列,EX1=0,EX12=1．设Tn= Tn(X1,…,Xn)是随机函数且Tn=Sn Rn．本文证明在E|Rn|2∨r<∞或E|Rn|<∞下,对随机函数Tn成立着Baum-Katz强大数律和重对数律的精确极限性质的一般结果．由此作为推论,对U-统计量,Von-Mises统计量,线性过程,移动平均过程,线性模型中误差方差估计和功率和等在适当矩条件下均可写出Baum-Katz强大数律和重对数律的精确极限性质．     

Experiments on the practical I/O efficiency of geometric algorithms: Distribution sweep versus plane sweep

We present an extensive experimental study comparing the performance of four algorithms for the following orthogonal segment intersection problem: given a set of horizontal and vertical line segments in the plane, report all intersecting horizontal-vertical pairs. The problem has important applications in VLSI layout and graphics, which are large-scale in nature. The algorithms under evaluation are our implementations of distribution sweep and three variations of plane sweep. Distribution sweep is specifically designed for the situations in which the problem is too large to be solved in internal memory, and theoretically has optimal I/O cost. Plane sweep is a well-known and powerful technique in computational geometry, and is optimal for this particular problem in terms of internal computation. The three variations of plane sweep differ by the sorting methods (external versus internal sorting) used in the preprocessing phase and the dynamic data structures (B-tree versus 2-3-4-tree) used in the sweeping phase. We generate the test data by three programs that use a random number generator while producing some interesting properties that are predicted by our theoretical analysis. The sizes of the test data range from 250 thousand segments to 2.5 million segments. The experiments provide detailed quantitative evaluation of the performance of the four algorithms, and the observed behavior of the algorithms is consistent with their theoretical properties. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first experimental algorithmic study comparing the practical performance between external-memory algorithms and conventional algorithms with large-scale test data.     

恒加试验简单线性估计的改进

在恒加试验中加速方程的二个系数ａ与ｂ的估计最为重要。文中给出了参数ａ与ｂ的二种新的简单线性无偏估计（ＢＧＬＵＥ，ＲＧＬＵＥ），这两种无偏估计均比常用的二步估计有较大的改进。基于上述新的线性估计，文中还构造了二种新的线性不变估计（ＢＧＬＩＥ，ＲＧＬＩＥ）。这两种不变估计均优于文献（１）给出的简单线性不变估计。     

SOME FUNCTIONAL LIMIT THEOREMS FOR THE INFINITE SERIES OF OU PROCESSES

This paper obtains functional modulus of continuity and Strassen's functional LIL of the infinite series of independent Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes, which also imply the Levy's exact modulus of continuity and LIL of this process respectively.     

Residues in toric varieties

We study residues on a complete toric variety X, which are defined in terms of the homogeneous coordinate ring of X.We first prove a global transformation law for toric residues. When the fan of the toric variety has a simplicial cone of maximal dimension, we can produce an element with toric residue equal to 1. We also show that in certain situations, the toric residue is an isomorphism on an appropriate graded piece of the quotient ring. When X is simplicial, we prove that the toric residue is a sum of local residues. In the case of equal degrees, we also show how to represent X as a quotient (Y\{0})/C* such that the toric residue becomes the local residue at 0 in Y.     

Lorenz Curve for Truncated and Censored Data

In this paper, we consider a nonparametric estimator of the Lorenz curve and Gini index when the data are subjected to random left truncation and right censorship. Strong Gaussian approximations for the associated Lorenz process are established under appropriate assumptions. A law of the iterated logarithm for the Lorenz curve is also derived. Lastly, we obtain a central limit theorem for the corresponding Gini index.

Management of periodic demands in distribution systems

The problem of the optimal scheduling of periodic demands for a given facility or commodity is presented and some properties of an integer programming model are discussed. Algorithms (both of implicit enumeration type and heuristic) are also given.     

Application of Kirkwood-Buff theory of liquid mixtures to water-butanol system

The various integrals over the pair correlation functions G_AA' G_WW, and G_AW were calculated for the t-butanol(A)-water(W) system (0 to 8 mole % alcohol) at 25°C by utilizing the thermodynamic quantities, the isothermal compressibility, partial molal volumes, and vapour pressure and by the application of an inverse procedure for Kirkwood-Buff theory of solutions as suggested by Ben-Naim. It is observed that as functions of concentration G_AA', G_AW, and G_WW have extrema in the concentration range studied. The results are interpreted on the basis of structural changes of solvent water. The behavior of G_AA in the concentration range of 0 to 4 % of t-butanol indicates that the strength of hydrophobic interactions decreases with concentration as x_A increases from 0 to 0.04.     

A supplement to precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm

Let be a sequence of real-valued i.i.d. random variables with E(X)=0 and E(X²)=1, and set , n?1. This paper studies the precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm. For example, using a result on convergence rates for probabilities of moderate deviations for obtained by Li et al. [Internat. J. Math. Math. Sci. 15 (1992) 481-497], we prove that, for every b∈(−1/2,1],
