A maximal inequality is an inequality which involves the (absolute) supremum $\sup_{s\leq t}|X_{s}|$ or the running maximum $\sup_{s\leq t}X_{s}$ of a stochastic process $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$. We discuss maximal inequalities for several classes…

In this paper, we develop a new method for the fast and memory-efficient computation of Slepian functions on the sphere. Slepian functions, which arise as the solution of the Slepian concentration problem on the sphere, have desirable…
