Wiener–Lévy theorem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wiener–Lévy theorem is a theorem in Fourier analysis, which states that a function of an absolutely convergent Fourier series has an absolutely convergent Fourier series under some conditions. The theorem was named after Norbert Wiener and Paul Lévy.

Norbert Wiener first proved Wiener's 1/f theorem,[1] see Wiener's theorem. It states that if f has absolutely convergent Fourier series and is never zero, then its inverse 1/f also has an absolutely convergent Fourier series.

Wiener–Levy theorem

[edit]

Paul Levy generalized Wiener's result,[2] showing that

Let be an absolutely convergent Fourier series with

The values of lie on a curve , and is an analytic (not necessarily single-valued) function of a complex variable which is regular at every point of . Then has an absolutely convergent Fourier series.

The proof can be found in the Zygmund's classic book Trigonometric Series.[3]

Example

[edit]

Let and ) is characteristic function of discrete probability distribution. So is an absolutely convergent Fourier series. If has no zeros, then we have

where

The statistical application of this example can be found in discrete pseudo compound Poisson distribution[4] and zero-inflated model.

If a discrete r.v.  with , , has the probability generating function of the form

where , , , and . Then is said to have the discrete pseudo compound Poisson distribution, abbreviated DPCP.

We denote it as .
