This paper develops a theory of distribution- and time-uniform asymptotics, culminating in the first large-sample anytime-valid inference procedures that are shown to be uniformly valid in a rich class of distributions. Historically,…

The paper investigates uniform convergence of wavelet expansions of Gaussian random processes. The convergence is obtained under simple general conditions on processes and wavelets which can be easily verified. Applications of the developed…
Gonek, Graham, and Lee have shown recently that the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) can be reformulated in terms of certain asymptotic estimates for twisted sums with von Mangoldt function $\Lambda$. Building on their ideas, for each…
Given a sequence $(X_n)$ of real or complex random variables and a sequence of numbers $(a_n)$, an interesting problem is to determine the conditions under which the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n X_n$ is almost surely convergent. This paper…
This paper is part of series on self-contained papers in which a large part, if not the full extent, of the asymptotic limit theory of summands of independent random variables is exposed. Each paper of the series may be taken as review…
We study the distribution of a general class of asymptoticallylinear statistics which are symmetric functions of $N$ independent observations. The distribution functions of these statistics are approximated by an Edgeworth expansion with a…
In this paper we study the distribution of very short sequences of inversive congruential pseudorandom numbers modulo $2^t$. We derive a new bound on exponential sums with such sequences and use it to give estimate their discrepancy. The…
We derive in this article the asymptotic behavior as well as non-asymptotical estimates of tail of distribution for self-normalized sums of random variables (r.v.) under natural classical norming. We investigate also the case of…
We prove a probabilistic Fourier extension theorem that says Fourier extension holds when averaged over certain smooth Alpert multipliers. The proofs use smooth Alpert wavelets with the classical techniques of stationary phase and…
This paper derives sufficient conditions for superconvergence of sums of bounded free random variables and provides an estimate for the rate of superconvergence.
In this note we give sufficient conditions for the convergence of the iterative algorithm called weighted-average consensus in directed graphs. We study the discrete-time form of this algorithm. We use standard techniques from matrix theory…
On a probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal F, \mathbb P)$ we consider two independent sequences $(a_k)_{k \geq 1}$ and $(b_k)_{k \geq 1}$ of i.i.d. random variables that are centered with unit variance and which admit a moment strictly…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of sums of functions of the increments of a given semimartingale, taken along a regular grid whose mesh goes to 0. The function of the $i$th increment may depend on the current time, and also…
The paper presents a novel asymptotic distribution for a mle when the log--likelihood is strictly concave in the parameter for all data points; for example, the exponential family. The new asymptotic distribution can be seen as a refinement…
In this paper we present the result of successively applying a Chebyshev polynomial to a continuous random variable. In particular we show that under mild assumptions the limiting distribution will be the same as the weight with respect to…
We prove a central limit theorem for $\log|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ with respect to the measure $|\zeta^{(m)}(1/2+it)|^{2k}dt$ ($k,m\in\mathbb N$), assuming RH and the asymptotic formula for twisted and shifted integral moments of zeta. Under the…
We announce new results concerning the asymptotic behavior of the Betti numbers of higher rank locally symmetric spaces as their volumes tend to infinity. Our main theorem is a uniform version of the L\"uck Approximation Theorem…
In this paper, we consider a "compensated" random sum that arises from numerical approximation of stochastic integrations and differential equations. We show that the compensated sum exhibits some surprising cancellations among its…
