Improving approximation error bounds via truncation
نویسنده
چکیده
One aspect of Poisson approximation is that the support of the random variable of interest is often finite while the support of the Poisson distribution is not. In this paper we will remedy this by examining truncated negative binomial (of which Poisson is a special limiting case) approximation, so as to match the two supports of both distributions, and show that this will lead to improvements in the error bounds of the approximation.

Rigorous A Posteriori Computation of (Un)Stable Manifolds and Connecting Orbits for Analytic Maps
This work is concerned with high order polynomial approximation of stable and unstable manifolds for analytic discrete time dynamical systems. We develop a posteriori theorems for these polynomial approximations which allow us to obtain rigorous bounds on the truncation errors via a computer assisted argument. Moreover, we represent the truncation error as an analytic function, so that the deri...
متن کاملWhittaker-Kotel'nikov-Shannon approximation of $\varphi$-sub-Gaussian random processes
The article starts with generalizations of some classical results and new truncation error upper bounds in the sampling theorem for bandlimited stochastic processes. Then, it investigates Lp([0, T ]) and uniform approximations of φ-sub-Gaussian random processes by finite time sampling sums. Explicit truncation error upper bounds are established. Some specifications of the general results for wh...

In this paper we propose a new method for approximating the nonstationary moment dynamics of one dimensional Markovian birth-death processes. By expanding the transition probabilities of the Markov process in terms of Poisson-Charlier polynomials, we are able to estimate any moment of the Markov process even though the system of moment equations may not be closed. Using new weighted discrete So...

In this paper the exact solution of the non-symmetric matrix Riccati equation with continuous coeecients is approximated using Fer's approximations of the associated underlying linear system. Given an admissible error > 0 , the order n of Fer's truncation is determined so that in the previously guaranteed existence interval, the error of the approximated solution is less than. Some qualitative ...
متن کاملAnalytic - numerical solutions with a priori error bounds for a class of strongly coupled mixed partial di erential systems
This paper deals with the construction of analytic-numerical solutions with a priori error bounds for systems of the type ut = Auxx, u(0; t) + ux(0; t) = 0, Bu(1; t) + Cux(1; t) = 0, 0¡x¡ 1; t ¿ 0, u(x; 0) = f(x). Here A, B, C are matrices for which no diagonalizable hypothesis is assumed. First an exact series solution is obtained after solving appropriate vector Sturm–Liouville-type problems....
