In this paper we investigate the tail behaviour of a random variable S which may be viewed as a functional T of a zero mean Gaussian process X, taking special interest in the situation where X obeys the structure which is typical for limiting processes ocurring in nonparametric testing of...

We consider a univariate two-scale difference equation, which is studied in approximation theory, curve design and wavelets theory. This paper analysis the correlation between the existence of smooth compactly supported solutions of this equation and the convergence of the corresponding cascade...

In this paper we give a short novel proof of the well-known Lagrange multiplier rule, discuss the sources of the power of this rule and consider several applications of this rule. The new proof does not use the implicit function theorem and combines the advantages of two of the most well-known...

We present the Lagrange multiplier rule, one of the basic optimization methods, in a new way. Novel features include: • Explanation of the true source of the power of the rule: reversal of tasks, but not the use of multipliers. • A natural proof based on a simple picture, but not the usual...

We consider infinite products of the form (see article). We show that (see article) can decrease at infinity not faster than (see article) and present conditions under which this maximal decay attains. This result proves the impossibility of the construction of infinitely differentiable...

In this paper the well-known minimax theorems of Wald, Ville and Von Neumann are generalized under weaker topological conditions onthe payoff function ƒ and/or extended to the larger set of the Borel probabilitymeasures instead of the set of mixed strategies.
