The bootstrap Glivenko-Cantelli and bootstrap Donsker theorems of Giné and Zinn (1990) contain both necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic validity of Efron’s nonparametric bootstrap. In the more general case of exchangeably weighted bootstraps, Praestgaard and Wellner (1993) and Van der Vaart and Wellner (1996) give analogues of the sufficiency half of the Theorems of Giné and ...

In this paper the authors have studied the Glivenko congruence R in a 0-distributive nearlattice S defined by " () R b a ≡ if and only if 0 = ∧ x a is equivalent to 0 = ∧ x b for each S x ∈ ". They have shown that the quotient nearlattice R S is weakly complemented. Moreover, R S is distributive if and only if S is 0-distributive. They also proved that every Sectionally complemented nearlattice...

The reader is referred to Chapter 1.6 of Wellner’s Torgnon notes, Chapter ??? of VDVW and Chapter 8.3 of Kosorok. First, a theorem using bracketing entropy. Let (F , ‖ ‖) be a subset of a normed space of real functions f : X → R. Given real functions l and u on X (but not necessarily in F), the bracket [l, u] is defined as the set of all functions f ∈ F satisfying l ≤ f ≤ u. The functions l, u ...

Glivenko’s theorem states that an arbitrary propositional formula is classically provable if and only if its double negation is intuitionistically provable. The result does not extend to full first-order predicate logic, but does extend to first-order predicate logic without the universal quantifier. A recent paper by Zdanowski shows that Glivenko’s theorem also holds for secondorder propositio...

We define a relative property A for a countable group with respect to a finite family of subgroups. Many characterizations for relative property A are given. In particular a relative bounded cohomological characterization shows that if G has property A relative to a family of subgroups H and if each H ∈ H has property A, then G has property A. This result leads to new classes of groups that hav...
