How Paul Lévy saw Jean Ville and Martingales
نویسنده
چکیده
In the present paper, we consider how Paul Lévy used martingale-type conditions for his studies on sums of dependent random variables during the 1930s. In a second part, we study Lévy’s troubled relationship with Jean-André Ville and his disdain for Ville’s

On the history of martingales in the study of randomness
Martingales played an important role in the study of randomness in the twentieth century. Jean Ville invented martingales in the 1930s in order to improve Richard von Mises’ concept of a collective, and Claus-Peter Schnorr made martingales algorithmic in the 1970s in order to advance the study of algorithmic randomness.
متن کاملExplaining the agency's mind in recognizing geographic space within the framework of existentialism, with emphasis on Jean-Paul Sartre's Viewpoint
In philosophy of science, particularly in the human sciences, concepts have Multiple meanings even have contradictory definition from ontological and epistemological aspects in different philosophical schools. Therefore, determination The theoretical framework for understanding of fundamental concepts, are most important in the study and understanding of the concepts in human sciences. One of t...
متن کاملJean-Paul Sartre on the Meaning of Life: Objections from an Islamic Viewpoint
Theories of the meaning of life are divided into two categories: nihilistic and anti-nihilistic. The latter is divided, in turn, into the view that life is meaningful and the view that life can be made meaningful. In this paper, we deploy a descriptive-analytic method to discuss Jean-Paul Sartre’s view of nihilism. In his view, God does not exist, the human being is born and dies without a reas...
متن کاملUnifying constructions of martingales associated with processes increasing in the convex order, via Lévy and Sato sheets
In this paper, we present a unified framework for our previous constructions of martingales with the same one-dimensional marginals as particular cases of processes increasing in the convex order. This framework encompasses our former uses of Lévy sheets, Sato sheets and self-decomposable laws. New examples of processes increasing in the convex order are also exhibited, but we do not know how t...
متن کاملUseful martingales for stochastic storage processes with Lévy-type input and decomposition results
In this paper we generalize the martingale of Kella and Whitt to the setting of Lévy-type processes and show that under some quite minimal conditions the local martingales are actually L martingales which upon dividing by the time index converge to zero a.s. and in L. We apply these results to generalize known decomposition results for Lévy queues with secondary jump inputs and queues with serv...
