A series criterion for moving maxima

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2368166





Let \(U_ 1\), \(U_ 2,\dots\) be independent r.v.'s distributed uniformly on [0,1] and let \(M_ n=\max\{U_ i:n-a_ n1\), \(\mu_ n\) is nondecreasing and \((\mu_ n)^{a_ n}\) is nonincreasing. Then \[ P[M_ n<\mu_ n \text{ i.o.} ]=\begin{cases} 1 \text{ if } \sum_ n(\mu_ n)^{a_ n}h(n)=\infty, \\ 0 \text{ if } \sum_ n(\mu_ n)^{a_ n}h(n)<\infty \text{ and } \sup_ n(a_{n+1}-a_ n)<\infty. \end{cases} \] Theorem 2 asserts that the set of limit points of \(\{M_ n\}\) is equal to \([\gamma^*,1]\), where \(\gamma^*\) is the infimum of all positive numbers \(\gamma\) satisfying \(\sum_ n\gamma^{a_ n}=\infty\).
