Download or read book Mixing Sequences of Random Variables and Probabilistic Number Theory written by Walter Philipp and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1971 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author gives a solution to the central limit problem and proves several forms of the iterated logarithm theorem and the results are then applied to the following branches of number theory: limit theorems for continued fractions and related algorithms; limit theorems in Diophantine approximations; discrepancies of sequences uniformly distributed mod one and the distribution of additive functions. In addition to new results, the major contribution of the work is the unification of the listed branches of probabilistic number theory. In particular, this is the first time that the distribution theory of additive functions has been related to metric number theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1791 Gauss made the following assertions (collected works, Vol. 10, p.ll, Teubner, Leipzig 1917): Primzahlen unter a (= 00) a la Zahlen aus zwei Factoren lla· a la (warsch.) aus 3 Factoren 1 (lla)2a -- 2 la et sic in info In more modern notation, let 1tk(X) denote the number of integers not exceeding x which are made up of k distinct prime factors, k = 1, 2 ... Then his assertions amount to the asymptotic estimate x (log log X)k-l () 1tk X '"--"';"'-"--"::--:-'-, - (x-..oo). log x (k-1)! The case k = 1, known as the Prime Number Theorem, was independently established by Hadamard and de la Vallee Poussin in 1896, just over a hundred years later. The general case was deduced by Landau in 1900; it needs only an integration by parts. Nevertheless, one can scarcely say that Probabilistic Number Theory began with Gauss. In 1914 the Indian original mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan arrived in England. Six years of his short life remained to him during which he wrote, amongst other things, five papers and two notes jointly with G.H. Hardy

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume we study the value distribution of arithmetic functions, allowing unbounded renormalisations. The methods involve a synthesis of Probability and Number Theory; sums of independent infinitesimal random variables playing an important role. A central problem is to decide when an additive arithmetic function fin) admits a renormalisation by real functions a(x) and {3(x) > 0 so that asx ~ 00 the frequencies vx(n;f (n) - a(x) :s;; z {3 (x) ) converge weakly; (see Notation). In contrast to volume one we allow {3(x) to become unbounded with x. In particular, we investigate to what extent one can simulate the behaviour of additive arithmetic functions by that of sums of suit ably defined independent random variables. This fruiful point of view was intro duced in a 1939 paper of Erdos and Kac. We obtain their (now classical) result in Chapter 12. Subsequent methods involve both Fourier analysis on the line, and the appli cation of Dirichlet series. Many additional topics are considered. We mention only: a problem of Hardy and Ramanujan; local properties of additive arithmetic functions; the rate of convergence of certain arithmetic frequencies to the normal law; the arithmetic simulation of all stable laws. As in Volume I the historical background of various results is discussed, forming an integral part of the text. In Chapters 12 and 19 these considerations are quite extensive, and an author often speaks for himself.

Download or read book Sequences Discrepancies and Applications written by Michael Drmota and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-11-14 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of this book is to give an overview of the developments during the last 20 years in the theory of uniformly distributed sequences. The authors focus on various aspects such as special sequences, metric theory, geometric concepts of discrepancy, irregularities of distribution, continuous uniform distribution and uniform distribution in discrete spaces. Specific applications are presented in detail: numerical integration, spherical designs, random number generation and mathematical finance. Furthermore over 1000 references are collected and discussed. While written in the style of a research monograph, the book is readable with basic knowledge in analysis, number theory and measure theory.
Download or read book Almost Sure Invariance Principles for Partial Sums of Weakly Dependent Random Variables written by Walter Philipp and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1975 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strong revival of interest in the law of the iterated logarithm and related asymptotic fluctuation results has occurred in the last decade, stimulated by two remarkable papers by Volker Strassen. In these papers, Strassen introduces a new method for establishing such fluctuation results for sums of independent random variables and for martingales. Strassen's almost sure invariance principle for martingales states that each martingale satisfying a certain second moment condition is with probability on "close" to a Brownian motion. In this monograph we investigate the asymptotic fluctuation behavior of sums of weakly dependent random variables, such as lacunary trigonometric mixing, and Gaussian sequences.

Download or read book Empirical Process Techniques for Dependent Data written by Herold Dehling and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empirical process techniques for independent data have been used for many years in statistics and probability theory. These techniques have proved very useful for studying asymptotic properties of parametric as well as non-parametric statistical procedures. Recently, the need to model the dependence structure in data sets from many different subject areas such as finance, insurance, and telecommunications has led to new developments concerning the empirical distribution function and the empirical process for dependent, mostly stationary sequences. This work gives an introduction to this new theory of empirical process techniques, which has so far been scattered in the statistical and probabilistic literature, and surveys the most recent developments in various related fields. Key features: A thorough and comprehensive introduction to the existing theory of empirical process techniques for dependent data * Accessible surveys by leading experts of the most recent developments in various related fields * Examines empirical process techniques for dependent data, useful for studying parametric and non-parametric statistical procedures * Comprehensive bibliographies * An overview of applications in various fields related to empirical processes: e.g., spectral analysis of time-series, the bootstrap for stationary sequences, extreme value theory, and the empirical process for mixing dependent observations, including the case of strong dependence. To date this book is the only comprehensive treatment of the topic in book literature. It is an ideal introductory text that will serve as a reference or resource for classroom use in the areas of statistics, time-series analysis, extreme value theory, point process theory, and applied probability theory.

Download or read book Convergence of Probability Measures written by Patrick Billingsley and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-06-25 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new look at weak-convergence methods in metric spaces-from a master of probability theory In this new edition, Patrick Billingsley updates his classic work Convergence of Probability Measures to reflect developments of the past thirty years. Widely known for his straightforward approach and reader-friendly style, Dr. Billingsley presents a clear, precise, up-to-date account of probability limit theory in metric spaces. He incorporates many examples and applications that illustrate the power and utility of this theory in a range of disciplines-from analysis and number theory to statistics, engineering, economics, and population biology. With an emphasis on the simplicity of the mathematics and smooth transitions between topics, the Second Edition boasts major revisions of the sections on dependent random variables as well as new sections on relative measure, on lacunary trigonometric series, and on the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution as a description of the long cycles in permutations and the large divisors of integers. Assuming only standard measure-theoretic probability and metric-space topology, Convergence of Probability Measures provides statisticians and mathematicians with basic tools of probability theory as well as a springboard to the "industrial-strength" literature available today.
