It is shown that a necessary and sufficient condition for an Archimedean copula generator to generate a d-dimensional copula is that the generator is a d-monotone function. The class of d-dimensional Archimedean copulas is shown to coincide with the class of survival copulas of d-dimensional l1-norm symmetric distributions that place no point mass at the origin. The d-monotone Archimedean copul...

The Laguerre method for numerically inverting Laplace transforms is an old established method based on the 1935 Tricomi-Widder theorem, which shows (under suitable regularity conditions) that the desired function can be represented as a weighted sum of Laguerre functions, where the weights are coefficients of a generating function constructed from the Laplace transform using a bilinear transfor...

We present a characterization of the approximation errors of the PostWidder and the Gamma operators in Lp(0,∞), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, with a weight x for any real γ. Two types of characteristics are used – weighted Kfunctionals of the approximated function itself and the classical fixed step moduli of smoothness taken on a simple modification of it. AMS classification: 41A25, 41A27, 41A35, 41A36.

We present a characterization of the approximation errors of the PostWidder and the Gamma operators in Lp(0,∞), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, with a weight x0(1 + x)γ∞−γ0 with arbitrary real γ0, γ∞. Two types of characteristics are used – weighted K-functionals of the approximated function itself and the classical fixed step moduli of smoothness taken on simple modifications of it. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classi...
