On positivity of orthogonal series and its applications in probability

Paweł J. Szabłowski

英文摘要:

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an orthogonal series to converge in the mean-squares to a nonnegative function. We present many examples and applications, in analysis and probability. In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Lancaster-type of expansion $% \sum_{n\geq 0}c_{n}α_{n}(x)β_{n}(y)$ with two sets of orthogonal polynomials $\left\{ α_{n}\right\} $ and $\left\{ β_{n}\right\} $ to converge in means-squares to a nonnegative bivariate function. In particular, we study the properties of the set $C(α,β)$ of the sequences $\left\{ c_{n}\right\} ,$ for which the above-mentioned series converge to a nonnegative function and give conditions for the membership to it. Further we show that the class of bivariate distributions for which a Lancaster type expansion can be found, is the same as the class of distributions having all conditional moments in the form of polynomials in the conditioning random variable.
