A Central Limit Theorem for Iterated Random Functions
نویسنده
چکیده
A central limit theorem is established for additive functions of a Markov chain that can be constructed as an iterated random function. The result goes beyond earlier work by relaxing the continuity conditions imposed on the additive function, and by relaxing moment conditions related to the random function. It is illustrated by an application to a Markov chain related to fractals.

Central Limit Theorem in Multitype Branching Random Walk
A discrete time multitype (p-type) branching random walk on the real line R is considered. The positions of the j-type individuals in the n-th generation form a point process. The asymptotic behavior of these point processes, when the generation size tends to infinity, is studied. The central limit theorem is proved.
متن کاملThe Local Limit Theorem: A Historical Perspective
The local limit theorem describes how the density of a sum of random variables follows the normal curve. However the local limit theorem is often seen as a curiosity of no particular importance when compared with the central limit theorem. Nevertheless the local limit theorem came first and is in fact associated with the foundation of probability theory by Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fer...

For a martingale (Xn) converging almost surely to a random variable X , the sequence (Xn − X) is called martingale tail sum. Recently, Neininger [Random Structures Algorithms, 46 (2015), 346-361] proved a central limit theorem for the martingale tail sum of Régnier’s martingale for the path length in random binary search trees. Grübel and Kabluchko [2014, preprint, arXiv 1410.0469] gave an alte...
متن کاملA central limit theorem and law of the iterated logarithm for a random field with exponential decay of correlations
In [6], Walter Philipp wrote that “. . . the law of the iterated logarithm holds for any process for which the Borel-Cantelli Lemma, the central limit theorem with a reasonably good remainder and a certain maximal inequality are valid.” Many authors [1, 2, 4, 5, 9] have followed this plan in proving the law of the iterated logarithm for sequences (or fields) of dependent random variables. We ca...
