A.I Solutions for Chapter I

Problem 1.1 ([64)) Hint: decompose the integral into four terms corresponding to all possible
combinations of signs of X, Y. For X > 0 and Y > 0 use the bivariate analogue of (1.2):
EXY = 1000 I:' P(X > t, Y > s) dt ds. Also use elementary identities

P(X ~ t, Y ~ s) - P(X ~ t)P(Y ~ s) = P(X $ t, Y $ s) - P(X $ t)P(Y $ s)

=-(P(X $ t, Y ~ s) - P(X $ t)P(Y ~ s»

=-(P(X ~ t, Y $ s) - P(X ~ t)P(Y $ s».

Problem 1.2 We prove a slightly more general tail condition for integrability, see Corollary
1.3.3.

Claim A.1.1 Let X ~ 0 be a random variable and suppose that there is C < 00 such that for
every 0 < p < I there is T = T(p) such that

P(X > Ct) $ pP(X > t) for all t > T. (A.I)

Then all the moments of X are finite.

Proof. Clearly, for unbounded random variables (A.I) cannot hold, unless C > I (and there
is nothing to prove if X is bounded). We shall show that inequality (A.I) implies that for
f3 = -lo&J(p), there are constants K,T < 00 such that
N(x) $ Kx- P for all x ~ T. (A.2)

Since p is arbitrarily close to 0, this will conclude the proof, ego by using formula (1.2).
To prove that (A.I) implies (A.2), put an = CnT,n = 0,2, .... Inequality (A.I) implies

N(an+d $ pN(an),n = 0,1,2, .... (A.3)

From (A.3) it follows that N(a n ) $ N(T)pn, ie.

N(cn+IT) $ N(T)pn for all n ~ 1. (AA)

124 APPENDIX A. SOLUTIONS OF SELECTED PROBLEMS

To end the proof, it remains to observe that for every x > 0, choosing n such that CRT :$ x <
CR+1T, we obtain N(x}:$ N(CRT}:$ ClpR. This proves (A.2) with K = N(T}p-lT-1ogc p • 0

Problem 1.3 This is an easier version of Theorem 1.3.1 and it has a slightly shorter proof.
Pick to f; 0 and q such that P(X ~ to} < q < 1. Then P(IXI ~ 2Rto} :$ q2R holds for
n = 1. Hence by induction P(IXI ~ 2Rto} :$ q2R for all n ~ 1. IT 2Rto :$ t < 2R+1to,
then P(IXI ~ t} :$ P(IXI ~ 2Rto} :$ q2R :$ qt/(2to) = e- 9t for some 8 > O. This implies
Eexp(~IXI) < 00 for all ~ < 8, see (1.2).

Problem 1.4 See the proof of Lemma 2.5.1.

Problem 1.9 Fix t > 0 and let A E :F be arbitrary. By the definition of conditional expectation
fA P(IXI > tl:F} dP = EIAllxl>t :$ Et-lIXIIAllxl>t :$ t- l EIXIIA. Now use Lemma 1.4.2.
Problem 1.11 fA U dP = fA V dP for all A = X-l(B}, where B is a Borel subset ofR. Lemma
1.4.2 ends the argument.
Problem 1.12 Since the conditional expectation E{'I:F} is a contraction on Ll (or, to put
it simply, Jensen's inequality holds for the convex function x ...... lxI), therefore IE{XIY}I =
lalEIYI :$ EIXI and similarly IblEIXI :$ EIYI. Hence lablEIXIEIYI :$ EIXIEIYI.
Problem 1.13 E{YIX} = 0 implies EXY = O. Integrating Y E{XIY} = y2 we get Ey2 =
EXY=O.
Problem 1.14 We follow [38, page 314]: Since fx>o.(Y - X} dP = 0 and fY>6(Y - X} dP = 0,
~h~ -
O~ { (Y-X}dP= { (Y-X}dP- { (Y-X}dP
}x?o.,YSo. }x?o. }x?o.,Y>o.
=- { (Y - X) dP =- { (Y - X) dP + { (Y - X) dP
}x?o.,y>o. }Y>o. }x<o.,y>o.
= { (Y - X}dP:$ 0
}x<o.,Y>o.
therefore fx <o.,Y>o.(Y - X) dP = O. The integrand is strictly larger than 0, showing that
P(X < a < Y} = 0 for all rational a. Therefore X ~ Y a. s. and the reverse inequality follows
by symmetry.
Problem 1.15 See the proof of Theorem 1.8.1.
Problem 1.16
a} IT X has discrete distribution P(X = Xj} = Pj, with ordered values Xj < Xj+1, then
for all ~ ~ 0 small enough we have 4>(Xk + ~} = (Xk + ~) LjSkPj + Lj>k Xjpj. Therefore
lim~_o <I>(zk+~l-<I>(zk) = P(X :$ Xk}.
b} If X has a continuous probability density function f(x}, then 4>(t} = tf~oof(x}dx +
Itoo x f( x} dx. Differentiating twice we get f( x} = 4>"( x}.
For the general case one can use Problem 1.17 (and the references given below).
Problem 1.17 Note: Function U,.(t} = fix -tIJl(dx} is called a (one dimensional) potential of
a measure Jl and a lot about it is known, see ego [26]; several relevant references follow Theorem
4.2.2; but none of the proofs we know is simple enough to be written here.
Formula Ix - tl = 2max{x,t} - x - t relates this problem to Problem 1.16.
Problem 1.18 Hint: Calculate the variance of the corresponding distribution.
A.2. SOLUTIONS FOR CHAPTER 2 125

Note: Theorem 2.5.3 gives another related result.

Problem 1.19 Write tP(t,s) =
expQ(t,s). Equality claimed in (i) follows immediately from
=
(1.17) with m 1; (li) follows by calculation with m 2. =
Problem 1.20 See for instance (76).
Problem 1.21 Let 9 be a bounded continuous function. By uniform integrability (cf. (1.18»
E(Xg(Y» = lim,,_oo E(X"g(Y,,» and similarly E(Yg(Y» = lim,,_oo E(Y..g(Y,,». Therefore
EXg(Y) = pE(Yg(Y» for all bounded continuous g. Approximating indicator functions by
= =
continuous g, we get fAX dP fA pY dP for all A {w : Yew) e [a, b)}. Since these A generate
O'(Y), this ends the proof.

A.2 Solutions for Chapter 2

Problem 2.1 Clearly 4>(t) = e- t2 / 2 -j;; f~oo e- C",-it)2/2 dx. Since e- z2 / 2 is analytic in complex
plane C, the integral does not depend on the path of integration, ie. Coo e- C",-it)2/2 dx =
f~oo e-",2 /2 dx.

Problem 2.2 Suppose for simplicity that the random vectors X, Y are centered. The joint
characteristicfunction 4>(t,s) = Eexp(it·X+is.Y) equals tP(t,s) = exp( -lE(t.X)2 exp( -lEes.
y)2) exp( -E(t. X)(s. Y». Independence follows, since E(t· X)(s· Y» = EiJ tisjEXiY; = o.
Problem 2.3 Here is a heavy-handed approach: Integrating (2.9) in polar coordinates we
,e
express the probability in question as f:/ 2 1 oin'2::"'2,do. Denoting z = e2ill = e2ia , this
becomes
4. f z+l/z de
• 11(1=1 4 - (z - l/z)(e - lIe) e'
which can be handled by simple fractions.
Alternatively, use the representation below formula (2.9) to reduce the question to the
integral which can be evaluated in polar coordinates. Namely, write p =
sin 28, where
-7r 12 $ 8 < 7r 12. Then

P(X>o,Y>O)= 10 1r2~rexp(-r2/2)drdD,
00

where I = {a e [-7r,7r): cos(o - 8) > 0 and sin(o + 8) > O}. In particular, for 8> 0 we have
1= (-8, 7r/2 + 8) which gives P(X > 0, Y > 0) = 1/4 + 81r.
Problem 2.7 By Corollary 2.3.6 we have /(t) = tP( -it) = Eexp(tX) > 0 for each t e 1R, ie.
log/(t) is well defined. By the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality /(t¥) = Eexp(tXI2)exp(sXI2) $
(I(t)/(S»1/2, which shows that log/(t) is convex.
Note: The same is true, but less direct to verify, for the so called analytic ridge functions, see
(99).
Problem 2.8 The assumption means that we have independent random variables X lt X 2 such
= = =
that Xl + X 2 1. Put Y Xl + 1/2, Z -X2 - 1/2. Then Y, Z are independent and Y Z. =
= =
Hence for any t e 1R we have P(Y $ t) P(Y $ t,Z $ t) P(Y $ t)P(Z $ t) P(Z $ t)2, =
which is possible only if either P(Z $ t) = 0, or P(Z $ t) = 1. Since t was arbitrary, the
cumulative distribution function of Z has a jump of size 1, i. e. Z is non-random.
For analytic proof, see the solution of Problem 3.6 below.

A.3 Solutions for Chapter 3

Problem 3.1 Hint: Show that there is C > 0 such that Eexp( -tX) = C t for all t ~ o.
Condition X ~ 0 guarantees that Ee zx is analytic for Rz < o.
Problem 3.4 Write X = m+ Y. Notice that the characteristic function ofm- Y and m+ Y is
the same. Therefore P( m - Y E 1L) = P( m + Y E 1L). By Theorem 3.2.1 the probability is either
zero (in which case there is nothing to prove) or 1. In the later case, for almost all w we have
H
m + Y E 1L and m - Y E 1L. But then, the linear combination m = m + Y) + m - Y) E 1L, H
a contradiction.
Problem 3.5 Hint: Show that Var(X) = o.
Problem 3.6 The characteristic functions satisfy 4>x(t) = 4>x(t)tf>y(t). This shows that tf>y(t) =
1 in some neighborhood of o. In particular, Ey2 = O.
For probabilistic proof, see the solution of Problem 2.8.

A.4 Solutions for Chapter 4

Problem 4.1 See, ego [98].
Problem 4.2 Denote p = corr(X, Y) = sin 8, where -7r /2 $ 8 $ 7r /2 By Theorem 4.1.2 we
have

Therefore EIXIIYI = ~ J~1I"1 cos all sin(a + 8)1 da = 2~ Jr Isin(2a + 8) - sin 81 da. Changing

Problem 4.3 Hint: Calculate ElaX + bYI in polar coordinates.

Problem 4.5 ElaX + bYI = 0 implies aX + bY = 0 with probability one. Hence Problem 2.8
implies that both aX and bY are deterministic.

A.5 Solutions for Chapter 5

Problem 5.1 See [111}.
Problem 5.2 Note: Theorem 6.3.1 gives a stronger result.
Problem 5.3 The joint characteristicfunction of X +U,X + V is ¢>(t, s) = tPx(t+s)¢>u(t)¢>v(s).
On the other hand, by independence of linear forms,

¢>(t,s) = tPx(t)¢>x(s)¢>u(t)¢>v(s).
Therefore for all t,s small enough, we have ¢>x(t + s) = ¢>x(t)¢>x(s). This shows that there is
f > 0 such that ¢>x(f2-n ) = C2- n • Corollary 2.3.4 ends the proof.
Note: This situation is not covered by Theorem 5.3.1 since some of the coefficients in the
linear forms are zero.
Problem 5.4 Consider independent random variables 6 = X -pY,6 = Y. Then X = 6 +p6
and Y - pX = -p6 + (1 - p2)6 are independent linear forms, therefore by Theorem 5.3.1 both
6 and 6 are independent normal random variables. Hence X, Yare jointly normal.

A.6 Solutions for Chapter 6

Problem 6.1 Hint: Decompose X, Y into the real and imaginary parts.
Problem 6.2 For standardized one dimensional X, Y with correlation coefficient p ~ 0 one has
P(X > -MIY > t) ~ P(X - pt > -M) which tends to 0 as t -+ 00. Therefore 01,0 ~ P(X >
-M) - P(X > -MIY > t) has to be 1.
Notice that to prove the result in the generallRd X lRd-valued case it is enough to establish
stochastic independence of one dimensional variables n· X, v· Y for all n, v E Rd.
Problem 6.4 Without loss of generality we may assume E I(X) = Eg(Y) = O. Also, by a linear
change of variable if necessary, we may assume EX = EY = 0, EX2 = Ey2 = 1. Expanding
I, 9 into Hermite polynomials we have
00

I(x) = "L Ik/klHk(X)

10=0
00

g(x) = "Lgk/k1Hk(X)
10=0
and 'LJUkl = EI(X)2, 'L,gVkl = Eg(y)2. Moreover,/o = go = 0 since EI(X) = Eg(y) = O.
Denote by q( x, y) the joint density of X, Y and let q(.) be the marginal density. Mehler's formula
(2.12) says that
"L l

q(x, y) = /klHk(X)Hk(y)q(X)q(y).

Therefore by Cauchy-Schwarz inequality

Cov(J,g) = "Ll/k!/k9k ~ Ipl("LIl/k!)1/2("L9Vk !)1/2.

Problem 6.5 From Problem 6.4 we have corr(J(X),g(Y)) ~ Ipl. Problem 2.3 implies W~

128 APPENDIX A. SOLUTIONS OF SELECTED PROBLEMS

For the general case see, ego [128, page 74 Lemma 2].
Problem 6.6 Hint: Follow the proof of Theorem 6.2.2. A slightly more general proof can be
found in [19, Theorem A].
Problem 6.7 Hint: Use the tail integration formula (1.2) and estimate (6.8), see Problem 1.5.

A.7 Solutions for Chapter 7

Problem 7.1 Since (X}, Xl +X2) ~ (X2' Xl +X2), we have E{XIIXI +X2} = E{X2IXI +X2},
cf. Problem 1.11.
Problem 7.2 By symmetry of distributions, (Xl + X 2,XI - X 2) ~ (Xl - X 2,XI + X 2).
Therefore E{XI +X2 IXI -X2} = 0, see Problem 7.1 and the result follows from Theorem 7.1.2.
Problem 7.5 (i) If Y is degenerated, then a = 0, see Problem 7.3. For non-degenerated Y the
conclusion follows from Problem 1.12, since by independence E{X + YIY} = X.
(ii) Clearly, E{XIX + Y} = (1 - a)(X + Y). Therefore Y = l:aE{XIX + Y} - X and
IIYII" ~ l~a IIXII,,·
Problem 7.6 Problem 7.5 implies that Y has all moments and a can be expressed explicitly by
the variances of X, Y. Let Z be independent of X normal such that E{ZIZ + X} = a(X + Z)
with the same a (ie. Var(Z) = Var(Y». Since the normal distribution is uniquely detennined
by moments, it is enough to show that all moments of Yare uniquely determined (as then they
have to equal to the corresponding moments of Z).
To this end write EY(X + y)n =
aE(X + y)n+1, which gives (1 - a)Eyn+1 =
Lk=Oa 0;+1)
EykExn+1-k - Lk~~ (k)Eyk+IExn-k.
Problem 7.7 It is obvious that E{XIY} = pY, because Y has two values only, and two points
are always on some straight line; alternatively write the joint characteristic function.
Formula Var(XIY) = 1 - p2 follows from the fact that the conditional distribution of X
given Y = 1 is the same as the conditional distribution of -X given Y = -1; alternatively,
write the joint characteristic function and use Theorem 1.5.3. The other two relations follow
from (X, Y) ~ (Y,X).
Problem 7.S Without loss of generality we may assume EX = O. Put U = Y, V = X + Y. By
independence, E{VIU} = U. On the other hand E{UIV} = E{X +Y -XIX +Y} = X +Y = V.
=
Therefore by Problem 1.14, X + Y ~ Y and X 0 by Problem 3.6.
Problem 7.4 Without loss of generality we may assume EX = o. Then EU = O. By Jensen's
inequality EX2 + Ey2 = E(X + y)2 ~ EX2, so Ey2 = o.
Problem 7.8 This follows the proof of Theorem 7.1.2 and Lemma 7.3.2. Explicit computation
is in [21, Lemma 2.1].
Problem 7.9 This follows the proof of Theorem 7.1.2 and Lemma 7.3.2. Explicit computation
is in [148, Lemma 2.3].
