In this note we exhibit a very simple proof of McNaughton Theorem, almost right out of the definitions, and at the same time we observe that this theorem does not depend of Chang's completeness theorem.

We introduce a notion of a weak elementary fibration and prove that it does exist in certain interesting cases. Our notion is a modification of the M. Artin's notion of an elementary fibration.

The purpose of the present notes is to examine the following issues related to the the Chernoff estimate: (1) For contractions on a Banach space we modify the $\sqrt{n}$-estimate and apply it in the proof of the Chernoff product formula for…

Azuma's inequality is a tool for proving concentration bounds on random variables. The inequality can be thought of as a natural generalization of additive Chernoff bounds. On the other hand, the analogous generalization of multiplicative…
