Balancing Sums of Random Vectors

چکیده
We study a higher-dimensional ‘balls-into-bins’ problem. An infinite sequence of i.i.d. random vectors is revealed to us one vector at a time, and we are required to partition these vectors into a fixed number of bins in such a way as to keep the sums of the vectors in the different bins close together; how close can we keep these sums almost surely? This question, our primary focus in this paper, is closely related to the classical problem of partitioning a sequence of vectors into balanced subsequences, in addition to having applications to some problems in computer science.

A Local Limit Theorem for Sums of Independent Random Vectors
We prove a local limit theorem for sums of independent random vectors satisfying appropriate tightness assumptions. In particular, the local limit theorem holds in dimension 1 if the summands are uniformly bounded.
متن کاملMaximal inequalities for centered norms of sums of independent random vectors
Let X1, X2, . . . , Xn be independent random variables and Sk = Pk i=1 Xi. We show that for any constants ak, P( max 1≤k≤n ||Sk| − ak| > 11t) ≤ 30 max 1≤k≤n P(||Sk| − ak| > t). We also discuss similar inequalities for sums of Hilbert and Banach space valued random vectors.
متن کاملOn Some Limit Distributions for Geometric Random Sums
We define and give the various characterizations of a new subclass of geometrically infinitely divisible random variables. This subclass, called geometrically semistable, is given as the set of all these random variables which are the limits in distribution of geometric, weighted and shifted random sums. Introduced class is the extension of, considered until now, classes of geometrically stable...
متن کاملRates of Approximation in the Multidimensional Invariance Principle for Sums of I.i.d. Random Vectors with Finite Moments
The aim of this paper is to derive some consequences of the main result of Götze and Zaitsev [5] (see Theorem 2 below). We shall show that the i.i.d. case of this result implies the multidimensional version of a result of Sakhanenko [12]. We shall obtain bounds for the rate of strong Gaussian approximation of sums of i.i.d. R-valued random vectors ξj having finite moments E ‖ξj‖ , γ > 2. We con...
متن کاملRandom sums of random vectors and multitype families of productive individuals
We prove limit theorems for a family of random vectors whose coordinates are a special form of random sums of Bernoulli random variables. Applying these limit theorems, we study the number of productive individuals in n-type indecomposable critical branching stochastic processes with types of individuals T 1 ,...,T n .
