The $\ell^p$ norm of the discrete Hilbert transform

Abstract:

The discrete Hilbert transform (in one of several non-equivalent forms) is the convolution operator, acting on doubly infinite sequences, with kernel $(\pi n)^{-1} \mathbb{1}_{n \ne 0}$. Using an appropriate martingale transform and (the Bañuelos–Wang variant of) Burkholder’s inequality, we find an upper bound for the norm of this operator on the $\ell^p$ space. Combined with a well-known lower bound, this resolves a problem posed by D. Hilbert, M. Riesz and E. C. Titchmarsh, who asked whether the norms of the discrete and continuous Hilbert transforms are equal.

A random walk is completely determined by distributions of $\max(X_n,0)$

Abstract:

Using standard theory of holomorphic functions, we prove the theorem stated in the title of this talk. This result resolves a conjecture of L. Chaumont and R. Doney, who gave a proof under various additional assumptions.

Bell-shaped functions

Abstract:

A probability density $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$ is bell-shaped if the $n$-th derivative of $f$ changes its sign $n$ times. One easily verifies that Gaussian and Cauchy densities are bell-shaped. In 1984 Wolfgang Gawronski published an article in Annals of Probability, where he proved that all stable densities are bell-shaped. However, there was an error in his argument: the proof was correct only when the index of stability $\alpha$ was in the set $\{2, 1, \tfrac{1}{2}, \tfrac{1}{3}, \tfrac{1}{4}, \ldots\}$. In 2015 Thomas Simon proved that the densities of stable subordinators are bell-shaped. During the talk I will discuss the article A new class of bell-shaped functions, in which all densities of EGGC (extended generalised gamma convolution) distributions are proved to be bell-shaped. As this class includes all stable distributions, the above paper extends Thomas Simon's result and fixes the error in Wolfgang Gawronski's article.

In fact, the paper A new class… deals with a slightly more general class of distributons rather than EGGC. Curiously, no distribution outside this more general class is known to have bell-shaped density.

Sparsest solutions and sparsest approximate solutions of an underdetermined linear system of equations

Abstract:

In this presentation, we introduce a constrained problem that gives, without any condition, one of the sparsest solutions or one of the sparsest approximate solutions of an underdetermined linear system. To solve this constrained problem, we provide a numerical method and we prove its convergence.
