We prove a new Donsker's invariance principle for independent and identically distributed random variables under the sub-linear expectation. As applications, the small deviations and Chung's law of the iterated logarithm are obtained.

Equip the edges of the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with i.i.d. random capacities. We prove a law of large numbers for the maximal flow crossing a rectangle in $\mathbb{R}^2$ when the side lengths of the rectangle go to infinity. The value of the…

We build on the formalism developed in [arXiv:1906.08372v1] to propose new representations of solutions to Stein equations. We provide new uniform and non uniform bounds on these solutions (a.k.a.\ Stein factors). We use these…

Martingales, Markov processes and Laws of Large Numbers have been well studied in the Riesz space (vector lattice) setting. There has, however, been no attention given in the Riesz space setting to Laws of Small Numbers or to the so called…

Classical Kolmogorov's and Rosenthal's inequalities for the maximum partial sums of random variables are basic tools for studying the strong laws of large numbers. In this paper, motived by the notion of independent and identically…
