When smoothing a function $f$ via convolution with some kernel, it is often desirable to adapt the amount of smoothing locally to the variation of $f$. For this purpose, the constant smoothing coefficient of regular convolutions needs to be…

This paper deals with the nonparametric estimation in heteroscedastic regression $ Y_i=f(X_i)+\xi_i, \: i=1,...,n $, with incomplete information, i.e. each real random variable $ \xi_i $ has a density $ g_{i} $ which is unknown to the…
