Stochastic fixed point equation and local dependence measure (2004.01850v1)
Published 4 Apr 2020 in math.PR and math.DS
Abstract: We study solutions to the stochastic fixed point equation $X\stackrel{d}{=}AX+B$ where the coefficients $A$ and $B$ are nonnegative random variables. We introduce the ``local dependence measure'' (LDM) and its Legendre-type transform to analyze the left tail behavior of the distribution of $X$. We discuss the relationship of LDM with earlier results on the stochastic fixed point equation and we apply LDM to prove a theorem on a Fleming-Viot-type process.
