Sharp Convex Bounds on the Aggregate Sums–An Alternative Proof
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is well known that a random vector with given marginals is comonotonic if and only if it has the largest convex sum, and that a random vector with given marginals (under an additional condition) is mutually exclusive if and only if it has the minimal convex sum. This paper provides an alternative proof of these two results using the theories of distortion risk measure and expected utility.

O ct 2 00 6 A shorter proof of Kanter ’ s Bessel function concentration bound
We give a shorter proof of Kanter's (1976) sharp Bessel function bound for concentrations of sums of independent symmetric random vectors. We provide sharp upper bounds for the sum of modified Bessel functions I 0 (x) + I 1 (x), which might be of independent interest. Corollaries improve concentration or smoothness bounds for sums of independent random variables due toČekanavičius
متن کاملRefinements of Gál’s Theorem and Applications
We give a simple proof of a well-known theorem of Gál and of the recent related results of Aistleitner, Berkes and Seip [1] regarding the size of GCD sums. In fact, our method obtains the asymptotically sharp constant in Gál’s theorem, which is new. Our approach also gives a transparent explanation of the relationship between the maximal size of the Riemann zeta function on vertical lines and b...
متن کاملSTT-Research Memoranda #693 On asymptotic distributions of weighted sums of periodograms
We establish asymptotic normality of weighted sums of periodograms of a stationary linear process where weights depend on the sample size. Such sums appear in numerous statistical applications and can be regarded as a discretized versions of the quadratic forms involving integrals of weighted periodograms. Conditions for asymptotic normality of these weighted sums are simple and resemble Lindeb...
متن کاملSharp Spectral Bounds on Starlike Domains
We prove sharp bounds on eigenvalues of the Laplacian that complement the Faber–Krahn and Luttinger inequalities. In particular, we prove that the ball maximizes the first eigenvalue and minimizes the spectral zeta function and heat trace. The normalization on the domain incorporates volume and a computable geometric factor that measures the deviation of the domain from roundness, in terms of m...
متن کاملSharp Bounds on the PI Spectral Radius
In this paper some upper and lower bounds for the greatest eigenvalues of the PI and vertex PI matrices of a graph G are obtained. Those graphs for which these bounds are best possible are characterized.
