We study invariance principles and convergence to a Gaussian limit for stochastic series of the form $S(c,Z)=\sum_{m=1}^{\infty }\sum_{\alpha _{1}<...<\alpha _{m}}c(\alpha _{1},...,\alpha _{m})\prod_{i=1}^{m}Z_{\alpha _{i}}$ where $Z_{k}$,…

Von Neumann's original proof of the ergodic theorem is revisited. A uniform convergence rate is established under the assumption that one can control the density of the spectrum of the underlying self-adjoint operator when restricted to…

Let $X$ be a WCG Banach space admitting a $C^k$-Fr\' echet smooth norm. Then $X$ admits an equivalent norm which is simultaneously $C^1$-Fr\' echet smooth, LUR, and a uniform limit of $C^k$-Fr\' echet smooth norms. If $X=C([0,\alpha])$,…

Let $A, B$ be finite subsets of a torsion-free group $G$. We prove that for every positive integer $k$ there is a $c(k)$ such that if $|B|\ge c(k)$ then the inequality $|AB|\ge |A|+|B|+k$ holds unless a left translate of $A$ is contained in…

We show that the Hankel transform of a general monotone function converges uniformly if and only if the limit function is bounded. To this end, we rely on an Abel-Olivier test for real-valued functions. Analogous results for cosine series…

A classical theorem of Kempner states that the sum of the reciprocals of positive integers with missing decimal digits converges. This result is extended to much larger families of "missing digits" sets of positive integers with convergent…

Consider two series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\sin^n\pi\theta n}{n^\alpha},\quad\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\cos^n\pi\theta n}{n^\alpha}.$$ We show that number-theoretical properties of $\theta$ have a strong effect on the convergence when…

Inspired by a question asked on the list {\tt mathfun}, we revisit {\em Kempner-like series}, i.e., harmonic sums $\sum' 1/n$ where the integers $n$ in the summation have ``restricted'' digits. First we give a short proof that $\lim_{k \to…

We study non-stationary averaging processes, where each term of a sequence is a weighted average of previous terms, namely $a_{n+1} = \sum_{j=1}^n p_n(j) a_j$. Our results extend classical theory in two distinct regimes. First, we prove a…

We study the power of uniform sampling for $k$-Median in various metric spaces. We relate the query complexity for approximating $k$-Median, to a key parameter of the dataset, called the balancedness $\beta \in (0, 1]$ (with $1$ being…

In this paper we consider trigonometric series with p-bounded variation coefficients. We presented a sufficient condition for uniform convergance of such series in case p > 1. This condition is significantly weaker than these obtained in…

This article relaxes the integrability condition imposed in the literature for the robust $\alpha$-stable central limit theorem under sublinear expectation. Specifically, for $\alpha \in(0,1]$, we prove that the normalized sums of i.i.d.…

Testing convergence of infinite series is an important part of mathematics. A very basic test of convergence is to upper-bound a given series with a known series, term by term. In $19^{th}$ century, Kummer proposed a test of convergence for…

We derive the necessary and sufficient condition for almost sure convergence of the sequence of measurable functions, and consider some applications in the theory of Fourier series and in the theory of random fields.

We prove a $C^{1,\alpha}$ interior regularity theorem for fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic integro-differential equations without assuming any regularity of the kernel. We then give some applications to linear theory and higher regularity…

A simple proof of the convergence of the variational regularization, with the regularization parameter, chosen by the discrepancy principle, is given for linear operators under suitable assumptions. It is shown that the discrepancy…

We define a notion of entropy for an infinite family $\mathcal{C}$ of measurable sets in a probability space. We show that the mean ergodic theorem holds uniformly for $\mathcal{C}$ under every ergodic transformation if and only if…

We show that a finite zero-sum-free sequence $\alpha$ over an abelian group has at least $c|\alpha|^{4/3}$ distinct subsequence sums, unless $\alpha$ is "controlled" by a small number of its terms; here $|\alpha|$ denotes the number of…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an orthogonal series to converge in the mean-squares to a nonnegative function. We present many examples and applications, in analysis and probability. In particular, we give necessary and…

Given a periodic function $f$, we study the almost everywhere and norm convergence of series $\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k f(kx)$. As the classical theory shows, the behavior of such series is determined by a combination of analytic and number…
