چکیده

Suppose a sequence of random variables fX n g has negative drift when above a certain threshold and has increments bounded in L p. When p > 2 this implies that EX n is bounded above by a constant independent of n and the particular sequence fX n g. When p 2 there are counterexamples showing this does not hold. In general, increments bounded in L p lead to a uniform L r bound on X + n for any r < p ? 1, but not for r p ? 1. These results are motivated by questions about stability of queueing networks.

Moment conditions for a sequence with negative drift to be uniformly bounded in L

Suppose a sequence of random variables {Xn} has negative drift when above a certain threshold and has increments bounded in Lp. When p > 2 this implies that EXn is bounded above by a constant independent of n and the particular sequence {Xn}. When p ≤ 2 there are counterexamples showing this does not hold. In general, increments bounded in Lp lead to a uniform Lr bound on X+ n for any r < p − 1...

Moment Conditions for a Sequence with Negative Drift to Be Uniformly Bounded in L R

Suppose a sequence of random variables fX n g has negative drift when above a certain threshold and has increments bounded in L p. When p > 2 this implies that EX n is bounded above by a constant independent of n and the particular sequence fX n g. When p 2 there are counterexamples showing this does not hold. In general, increments bounded in L p lead to a uniform L r bound on X + n for any r ...

The Almost Sure Convergence for Weighted Sums of Linear Negatively Dependent Random Variables

In this paper, we generalize a theorem of Shao [12] by assuming that is a sequence of linear negatively dependent random variables. Also, we extend some theorems of Chao [6] and Thrum [14]. It is shown by an elementary method that for linear negatively dependent identically random variables with finite -th absolute moment the weighted sums converge to zero as where and is an array of...

Existence Results of best Proximity Pairs for a Certain Class of Noncyclic Mappings in Nonreflexive Banach Spaces Polynomials 

Introduction Let  be a nonempty subset of a normed linear space . A self-mapping  is said to be nonexpansive provided that  for all . In 1965, Browder showed that every nonexpansive self-mapping defined on a nonempty, bounded, closed and convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space , has a fixed point. In the same year, Kirk generalized this existence result by using a geometric notion of ...

Asymptotic Behavior of Weighted Sums of Weakly Negative Dependent Random Variables

Let be a sequence of weakly negative dependent (denoted by, WND) random variables with common distribution function F and let be other sequence of positive random variables independent of and for some and for all . In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the tail probabilities of the maximum, weighted sums, randomly weighted sums and randomly indexed weighted sums of heavy...
