Abstract In this paper we treat a pure death process coming down from infinity as a natural generalization of the death process associated with the Kingman coalescent. We establish a number of limit theorems including a strong law of large numbers and a large deviation theorem.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to establish some limit theorems of delayed averages for countable nonhomogeneous Markov chains. The definition of the generalized C-strong ergodicity and the generalized uniformly C-strong ergodicity for countable nonhomogeneous Markov chains is introduced first. Then a theorem about the generalized C-strong ergodicity and the generalized uniformly C-strong ergodicity for the nonhomogeneous Markov chains is established, and its applications to the information theory are given. Finally, the strong law of large numbers of delayed averages of bivariate functions for countable nonhomogeneous Markov chains is proved.

The present paper is devoted to complete convergence and the strong law of large numbers under moment conditions near those of the law of the single logarithm (LSL) for independent and identically distributed arrays. More precisely, we investigate limit theorems under moment conditions which are stronger than $2p$ for any $p<2$, in which case we know that there is almost sure convergence to 0, and weaker than $E\,X^{4}/(\log ^{+}|X|)^{2}<\infty$, in which case the LSL holds.

Chain-dependent processes, also called sequences of random variables defined on a Markov chain, are shown to satisfy the strong law of large numbers. A central limit theorem and a law of the iterated logarithm are given for the case when the underlying Markov chain satisfies Doeblin's hypothesis. The proofs are obtained by showing independence of the initial distribution of the chain and by then restricting attention to the stationary case.

A sequence of random variables is said to be extended negatively dependent (END) if the tails of its finite-dimensional distributions in the lower-left and upper-right corners are dominated by a multiple of the tails of the corresponding finite-dimensional distributions of a sequence of independent random variables with the same marginal distributions. The goal of this paper is to establish the strong law of large numbers for a sequence of END and identically distributed random variables. In doing so we derive some new inequalities of large deviation type for the sums of END and identically distributed random variables being suitably truncated. We also show applications of our main result to risk theory and renewal theory.

We model the transmission of a message on the complete graph with n vertices and limited resources. The vertices of the graph represent servers that may broadcast the message at random. Each server has a random emission capital that decreases at each emission. Quantities of interest are the number of servers that receive the information before the capital of all the informed servers is exhausted and the exhaustion time. We establish limit theorems (law of large numbers, central limit theorem and large deviation principle), as n → ∞, for the proportion of informed vertices before exhaustion and for the total duration. The analysis relies on a construction of the transmission procedure as a dynamical selection of successful nodes in a Galton–Watson tree with respect to the success epochs of the coupon collector problem.

Quantum Bernoulli random walks can be realized as random walks on the dual of SU(2). We use this realization in order to study a model of dynamic quantum Bernoulli random walk with time-dependent transitions. For the corresponding dynamic random walk on the dual of SU(2), we prove several limit theorems (local limit theorem, central limit theorem, law of large numbers, large deviation principle). In addition, we characterize a large class of transient dynamic random walks.

We find a universal norming sequence in strong limit theorems for increments of sums of i.i.d. random variables with finite first moments and finite second moments of positive parts. Under various one-sided moment conditions our universal theorems imply the following results for sums and their increments: the strong law of large numbers, the law of the iterated logarithm, the Erdős-Rényi law of large numbers, the Shepp law, one-sided versions of the Csörgő-Révész strong approximation laws. We derive new results for random variables from domains of attraction of a normal law and asymmetric stable laws with index αЄ(1,2).

In this paper we consider a Galton-Watson process whose particles move according to a Markov chain with discrete state space. The Markov chain is assumed to be positive recurrent. We prove a law of large numbers for the empirical position distribution and also discuss the large deviation aspects of this convergence.
