A note on the rate of convergence for a sequence of random polarizations

Abstract: It was shown by Burchard and Fortier that the expected

L^{1}

distance between

f^{*}

and

n

random polarizations of an essentially bounded function

f

with support in a ball of radius

L

is bounded by

2 d m (B_{2 L}) | | f | |_{i n f t y} n^{- 1}

. The purpose of this note is to expand on that result. The expected

L^{1}

distance is bounded by

c_{n} n^{- 1}

with

l i m s u p_{n i g h t a r r o w i n f t y} c_{n} l e q 2^{d + 1} | | a b l a f | |_{1}

for every

f i n W_{1, 1} (B_{L}) c a p L^{i n f t y} (B_{L})

. Furthermore, the expected

L^{1}

distance is

O (n^{- 1 / q})

for

f i n L^{p} (B_{L})

with

p > 1

and

f r a c 1 p + f r a c 1 q = 1

. The rate

n^{- 1}

is best possible:

n

times the measure of the symmetric difference between the random polarization of a ball and its corresponding Schwarz symmetrization converges in distribution. A new sequence of random polarizations is introduced such that the transition probability depends on the state of the underlying Markov chain. For a general measurable set

A

contained in

B_{L}

, the rate of convergence to

A^{*}

matches the rate for the aforementioned random sequence first introduced by Buchard and Fortier. However, the rate of convergence is

O (n^{- 3 / 2})

for compact sets in

m a t h b b R

with finite perimeter and is exponential for balls in

m a t h b b R^{d}

. To conclude, it is shown that there exists a family of measurable sets in

m a t h b b R

admitting a sequence of polarizations converging exponentially to the corresponding Schwarz symmetrization.
