The second conclusion bounds the usual contamination breakdown point at a general law F0, e.g. a normal law, assuming the functional T is defined and continuous at a related (1 − γ)-degenerate law. Such an assumption seems not to hold for many location and scatter functionals given in the literature for γ ≤ 1/2...

(i) For the sample mean T = Z ¯ = (Z1 + ... + Zn)/n, the breakdown point is 0 for any Zj since for j = 1, if we let y1 → ∞ then Z ¯ → ∞ (for n fixed). (ii) Let T = Z(1), the smallest numb...

possible value of Z(j) occurs when yi < Xk for all i and k and for at least one r such that Xr = X(1), Xr is not replaced, so Z(j) ≥ X(1). Similarly, if Z = n−j X the largest possible value of Z(j) satisfies Z(j) ≤ X(n). So if k = min(j − 1, n − j) and Z = k X, then X(1) ≤ Z(j) ≤ X(n) so Z(j) is bounded and ∗ ε (T, ...

We will give a couple of different characterizations of the location of the roots of a polynomial, both of them in terms of some associated symmetric matrices. 5­1 � 3.1 The compani...
