Partial Sum

We give an expression for the expectation of max (0, S1, …, Sn) where Sk is the kth partial sum of a finite sequence of exchangeable random variables X1, …, Xn. When the Xk are also independent, the formula we give has already been obtained by Spitzer; and when the sequence is a finite segment of an infinite sequence of exchangeable random variables, it is a consequence of a theorem of Hewitt.

Independent And Identically Distributed

In 1952 Pollaczek discovered a remarkable formula for the Laplace-Stieltjes transforms of the distributions of the ordered partial sums for a sequence of independent and identically distributed real random variables. In this paper Pollaczek's result is proved in a simple way and is extended for a semi-Markov sequence of real random variables.
