The following is from Williams' _Probability with Martingales_ section 3.12 (I paraphrase a bit): > Let $F:\mathbb{R}\to[0,1]$ have properties > 1. $F$ is non-decreasing. > 2. $F$ is normalized. > 3. $F$ is right-continuous. > We can construct a random variable with distribution function $F$ carried by $([0,1]...
The Lecturer demonstrate that $S:=\{(x_n)\in l^2:\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}|x_n|^2\leq 1\}\subset l^2$ is closed by showing every convergent sequence $(a_n)$ in $S$ has the limit $a^*\in S$. Now I have a question : Is this space itself $l^2:=\{(x)_n\in\mathbb{R}^{\infty}:\sum^{\infty}_{i=1}|x_n|^2<\infty\}$ closed and...

There are many results for finite Markov chains ,e.g. Demob "Large deviations: Technique and its applications".

I was doing Probability: Theory and Examples problem 5.3.8 [![enter image description here][1]][1] To use Theorem 5.3.8, we need to prove $\mathbb{E}_x[\phi(X_1)]<\phi(x)$, which is just $\mathbb{E}_x[X_1]<x$.

I've read in multiple books that a function $F$ is a cumulative distribution function for some random variable $X$ if and only if it satisfies three conditions: 1. $F$ is non-decreasing. 2. $F$ is normalized. 3. $F$ is right-continuous. but I've never seen an analogous set of conditions for a probability mass fun...

For a cylinder, the volume formula is given by $V = \pi r^2 H $.

Upon integrating \( dV \) again, we obtain $( 2 \pi r^2 H )$. However, I'm confused about where the factor of t...
