The performance of a control policy is assessed by a long-run average criterion as measured by a risk-seeking decision maker with constant risk-sensitivity. Besides standard continuity–compactness conditions, the framework of the paper is determined by the following conditions: (i) the state process is communicating under each stationary policy, and (ii) the simultaneous Doeblin condition holds. Within this framework it is shown that (i) the optimal superior and inferior limit average value functions coincide and are constant, and (ii) the optimal average cost is characterized via an extended version of the Collatz–Wielandt formula in the theory of positive matrices.","PeriodicalId":50256,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Probability","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49013363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is well known that the active redundancy at component level results in a more reliable coherent system than that at system level. However, the lack of study of this problem with relevation redundancy prevents us from fully understanding such a generalization of the active redundancy. In this note we deal with relevation redundancy to coherent systems of homogeneous components. Typically, for a series system of independent components, we have proved that the lifetime of a system with relevation redundancy at component level is larger than that with relevation redundancy at system level in the sense of the usual stochastic order and the likelihood ratio order, respectively. For a coherent system with dependent components, we have developed a sufficient condition in terms of the domination function to the usual stochastic order between the system lifetime with redundancy at component level and that at system level.","PeriodicalId":50256,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Probability","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44253639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We derive closed-form expressions for the Shapley values for the tail variance game and we analyze the vector majorization problem for the two games. In particular, we construct two examples showing that the risk contribution rankings for the two games may be inverted depending on the conditioning threshold and the tail fatness. Motivated by these examples, we formulate a conjecture for general portfolios. Lastly, we discuss risk management implications, including the characterization of tail covariance premiums and reinsurance pricing for peer-to-peer insurance policies.","PeriodicalId":50256,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Probability","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44249245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We develop a theoretical framework for proving new moderate deviations inequalities on different types of error probabilities that arise in GP regression.

Our inequalities connect these probabilities to the mesh norm, which measures how well the design points fill the space.","PeriodicalId":50256,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Probability","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47773949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
