Asymptotic Expansions for the Moments of a Randomly Stopped Average
随机停止平均值各阶矩的渐近展开
Let $S_1$, $S_2,\cdots$ denote a driftless random walk with values in an inner product space $\mathscr{W}$; let $Z_1$, $Z_2,\cdots$ denote a perturbed random walk of the form $Z_n=n+\langle c,S_n \rangle+\xi_n$, $n = 1, 2,\cdots$, where $\xi_1,\xi_2,\cdots$ are slowly changing, $\langle\centerdot,\centerdot\rangle$ denotes the inner product, and $c\in\mathscr{W}$; and let $t=t_a=inf{n\geq1:Z_n>a}$ for $0\leq a<\infty$. Conditions are developed under which the first four…
