On Maximal Inequalities Arising in Best Approximation

Maximal Inequalities for Associated Random Variables

In a celebrated work by Shao [13] several inequalities for negatively associated random variables were proved. In this paper we obtain some maximal inequalities for associated random variables. Also we establish a maximal inequality for demimartingales which generalizes and improves the result of Christofides [4].

Complete Convergence and Some Maximal Inequalities for Weighted Sums of Random Variables

Let  be a sequence of arbitrary random variables with  and , for every  and  be an array of real numbers. We will obtain two maximal inequalities for partial sums and weighted sums of random variables and also, we will prove complete convergence for weighted sums , under some conditions on  and sequence .

Improved theoretical guarantees regarding a class of two-row cutting planes

The corner polyhedron is described by minimal valid inequalities from maximal lattice-free convex sets. For the Relaxed Corner Polyhedron (RCP) with two free integer variables and any number of non-negative continuous variables, it is known that such facet defining inequalities arise from maximal lattice-free splits, triangles and quadrilaterals. We improve on the tightest known upper bound for...

Some Results on p-Best Approximation in Vector Spaces

Particle Approximation of the Intensity Measures of a Spatial Branching Point Process Arising in Multitarget Tracking

The aim of this paper is two-fold. First we analyze the sequence of intensity measures of a spatial branching point process arising in a multiple target tracking context. We study its stability properties, characterize its long time behavior and provide a series of weak Lipschitz type functional contraction inequalities. Second we design and analyze an original particle scheme to approximate nu...
