A Note on the Strong Law of Large Numbers

Petrov (1996) proved the connection between general moment conditions and the applicability of the strong law of large numbers to a sequence of pairwise independent and identically distributed random variables. This note examines this connection to a sequence of pairwise negative quadrant dependent (NQD) and identically distributed random variables. As a consequence of the main theorem ...

A Note on Strong Mixing

The strong mixing property for a sequence of random variables is interesting in its own right. It is discussed that under what conditions the strong mixing property holds for linear stochastic processes and in particular ARMA processes. Then an example of Non-Strong mixing Autoregressive Processes is discussed here.

A Note on the Motion of Surfaces

We study the motion of surfaces in an intrinsic formulation in which the surface is described by its metric and curvature tensors. The evolution equations for the six quantities contained in these tensors are reduced in number in two cases: (i) for arbitrary surfaces, we use principal coordinates to obtain two equations for the two principal curvatures, highlighting the similarity with the equa...

A Note on Indestructibility and Strong Compactness

If κ < λ are such that κ is both supercompact and indestructible under κ-directed closed forcing which is also (κ+,∞)-distributive and λ is 2λ supercompact, then by [3, Theorem 5], {δ < κ | δ is δ+ strongly compact yet δ isn’t δ+ supercompact} must be unbounded in κ. We show that the large cardinal hypothesis on λ is necessary by constructing a model containing a supercompact cardinal κ in whic...
