On the average number of sharp crossings of certain Gaussian random polynomials

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let Qn(x)=sumi=0nAixi be a random algebraic polynomial where the coefficients A0,A1,... form a sequence of centered Gaussian random variables. Moreover, assume that the increments Deltaj=AjAj1, j=0,1,2,... are independent, assuming A1=0. The coefficients can be considered as n consecutive observations of a Brownian motion. We obtain the asymptotic behaviour of the expected number of u-sharp crossings of polynomial Qn(x) . We refer to u-sharp crossings as those zero up-crossings with slope greater than u, or those down-crossings with slope smaller than u. We consider the cases where u is unbounded and is increasing with n, where u=o(n5/4), and u=o(n3/2) separately.
