Coupling and Poisson Approximation
We give an overview of the Stein{Chen method for establishing Poisson approximations of various random variables. Couplings of certain variables are used to gives explicit bounds for the total variation distance between the distribution of a random variable and a Poisson variable. Some applications are given. In some cases, explicit couplings may be used to obtain good estimates; in other appli...
متن کاملStochastic evolution equations with multiplicative Poisson noise and monotone nonlinearity
Semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative Poisson noise and monotone nonlinear drift in Hilbert spaces are considered. The coefficients are assumed to have linear growth. We do not impose coercivity conditions on coefficients. A novel method of proof for establishing existence and uniqueness of the mild solution is proposed. Examples on stochastic partial differentia...
متن کاملThree-monotone spline approximation
For r ≥ 3, n ∈ N and each 3-monotone continuous function f on [a, b] (i.e., f is such that its third divided differences [x0, x1, x2, x3] f are nonnegative for all choices of distinct points x0, . . . , x3 in [a, b]), we construct a spline s of degree r and of minimal defect (i.e., s ∈ Cr−1[a, b]) with n −1 equidistant knots in (a, b), which is also 3-monotone and satisfies ‖ f − s‖L∞[a,b] ≤ cω...
متن کاملMonotone trigonometric approximation
Let f ∈ C[−ω, ω], 0 < ω < π, be nonlinear and nondecreasing. We wish to estimate the degree of approximation of f by trigonometric polynomials that are nondecreasing in [−ω, ω]. We obtain estimates involving the second modulus of smoothness of f and show that one in general cannot have estimates with the third modulus of smoothness.
متن کاملMonotone Approximation of Decision Problems
Many decision problems exhibit structural properties in the sense that the objective function is a composition of different component functions that can be identified using empirical data. We consider the approximation of such objective functions, subject to general monotonicity constraints on the component functions. Using a constrained B-spline approximation, we provide a data-driven robust o...
