چکیده
We examine a number of generalized and extended versions of concentration inequalities and martingale inequalities. These inequalities are effective for analyzing processes with quite general conditions as illustrated in an example for an infinite Polya process and webgraphs.

Concentration Inequalities for Dependent Random Variables via the Martingale Method
Abstract: We use the martingale method to establish concentration inequalities for a class of dependent random sequences on a countable state space, with the constants in the inequalities expressed in terms of certain mixing coefficients. Along the way, we obtain bounds on certain martingale differences associated with the random sequences, which may be of independent interest. As an applicatio...
متن کاملConcentration of Measure Inequalities and Their Communication and Information-Theoretic Applications
During the last two decades, concentration of measure has been a subject of various exciting developments in convex geometry, functional analysis, statistical physics, high-dimensional statistics, probability theory, information theory, communications and coding theory, computer science, and learning theory. One common theme which emerges in these fields is probabilistic stability: complicated,...
متن کاملSolutions to the Problem of K-SAT / K-COL Phase Transition Location
As general theories, currently there are concentration inequalities (of random walk) only for the cases of independence and martingale differences. In this paper, the concentration inequalities are extended to more general situations. In terms of the theory presented in the paper, the condition of independence is ∂y ∂t = constant and martingale difference’s is ∂y ∂t = 0. This paper relaxes thes...
متن کاملConcentration of measure without independence: a unified approach via the martingale method
The concentration of measure phenomenon may be summarized as follows: a function of many weakly dependent random variables that is not too sensitive to any of its individual arguments will tend to take values very close to its expectation. This phenomenon is most completely understood when the arguments are mutually independent random variables, and there exist several powerful complementary me...
متن کاملConvex concentration inequalities and forward-backward stochastic calculus
Given (Mt)t∈R+ and (M ∗ t )t∈R+ respectively a forward and a backward martingale with jumps and continuous parts, we prove that E[φ(Mt + M ∗ t )] is nonincreasing in t when φ is a convex function, provided the local characteristics of (Mt)t∈R+ and (M ∗ t )t∈R+ satisfy some comparison inequalities. We deduce convex concentration inequalities and deviation bounds for random variables admitting a ...
