    On embeddings of locally finite metric spaces into lp
    (Academic Press inc Elsevier Science, 2019) Ostrovska, Sofiya; Ostrovskii, Mikhail I.; Mathematics
    It is known that if finite subsets of a locally finite metric space M admit C-bilipschitz embeddings into l(p) (1 <= p <= infinity), then for every epsilon > 0, the space M admits a (C + epsilon)-bilipschitz embedding into l(p). The goal of this paper is to show that for p not equal 2, infinity this result is sharp in the sense that e cannot be dropped out of its statement. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Stieltjes Classes for Discrete Distributions of Logarithmic Type
    (Univ Nis, Fac Sci Math, 2020) Ostrovska, Sofiya; Turan, Mehmet; Mathematics
    Stieltjes classes play a significant role in the moment problem since they permit to expose explicitly an infinite family of probability distributions all having equal moments of all orders. Mostly, the Stieltjes classes have been considered for absolutely continuous distributions. In this work, they have been considered for discrete distributions. New results on their existence in the discrete case are presented.

    A new proof that the product of three or more exponential random variables is moment-indeterminate
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2010) Ostrovska, Sofiya; Stoyanov, Jordan; Mathematics
    We present a direct, short and transparent proof of the following result: The product X-1 ... X-n of independent exponential random variables X-1,...,X-n is moment-indeterminate if and only if n >= 3. This and other complex analytic results concerning Stieltjes moment sequences and properties of the corresponding distributions appeared recently in Berg (2005). (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

    Approximation of Discontinuous Functions by q-Bernstein Polynomials
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2016) Ostrovska, Sofia; Ozban, Ahmet Yasar; Mathematics
    This chapter presents an overview of the results related to the q-Bernstein polynomials with q > 1 attached to discontinuous functions on [0, 1]. It is emphasized that the singularities of such functions located on the set Jq : = {0} boolean OR {q-l}(l=0, infinity), q > 1 are definitive for the investigation of the convergence properties of their q-Bernstein polynomials.

    On the analyticity of functions approximated by their q-Bernstein polynomials when q > 1
    (Elsevier Science inc, 2010) Ostrovskii, Iossif; Ostrovska, Sofiya; Mathematics
    Since in the case q > 1 the q-Bernstein polynomials B-n,B-q are not positive linear operators on C[0, 1], the investigation of their convergence properties for q > 1 turns out to be much harder than the one for 0 < q < 1. What is more, the fast increase of the norms parallel to B-n,B-q parallel to as n -> infinity, along with the sign oscillations of the q-Bernstein basic polynomials when q > 1, create a serious obstacle for the numerical experiments with the q-Bernstein polynomials. Despite the intensive research conducted in the area lately, the class of functions which are uniformly approximated by their q-Bernstein polynomials on [0, 1] is yet to be described. In this paper, we prove that if f : [0, 1] -> C is analytic at 0 and can be uniformly approximated by its q-Bernstein polynomials (q > 1) on [0, 1], then f admits an analytic continuation from [0, 1] into {z: vertical bar z vertical bar < 1}.

    DISTORTION OF EMBEDDINGS OF BINARY TREES INTO DIAMOND GRAPHS
    (Amer Mathematical Soc, 2018) Leung, Siu Lam; Nelson, Sarah; Ostrovska, Sofiya; Ostrovskii, Mikhail; Mathematics
    Diamond graphs and binary trees are important examples in the theory of metric embeddings and also in the theory of metric characterizations of Banach spaces. Some results for these families of graphs are parallel to each other; for example superreflexivity of Banach spaces can be characterized both in terms of binary trees (Bourgain, 1986) and diamond graphs (Johnson-Schechtman, 2009). In this connection, it is natural to ask whether one of these families admits uniformly bilipschitz embeddings into the other. This question was answered in the negative by Ostrovskii (2014), who left it open to determine the order of growth of the distortions. The main purpose of this paper is to get a sharp up-to-a-logarithmic-factor estimate for the distortions of embeddings of binary trees into diamond graphs and, more generally, into diamond graphs of any finite branching k >= 2. Estimates for distortions of embeddings of diamonds into infinitely branching diamonds are also obtained.

    UNCORRELATEDNESS SETS OF DISCRETE RANDOM VARIABLES VIA VANDERMONDE-TYPE DETERMINANTS
    (Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2019) Turan, Mehmet; Ostrovska, Sofiya; Ozban, Ahmet Yasar; Mathematics
    Given random variables X and Y having finite moments of all orders, their uncorrelatedness set is defined as the set of all pairs (j, k) is an element of N-2; for which X-j and Y-kappa are uncorrelated. It is known that, broadly put, any subset of N-2 can serve as an uncorrelatedness set. This claim is no longer valid for random variables with prescribed distributions, in which case the need arises so as to identify the possible uncorrelatedness sets. This paper studies the uncorrelatedness sets for positive random variables uniformly distributed on three points. Some general features of these sets are derived. Two related Vandermonde-type determinants are examined and applied to describe uncorrelatedness sets in some special cases. (C) 2019 Mathematical Institute Slovak Academy of Sciences

    Stieltjes classes for M-indeterminate powers of inverse Gaussian distributions
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2005) Ostrovska, S; Stoyanov, J; Mathematics
    yThe aim of this paper is to exhibit an infinite family (Stieltjes class) of distributions all of which have the same moments as some powers of the inverse Gaussian distribution. For some particular cases of Stieltjes classes we have found the value of the index of dissimilarity. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    DISTORTION IN THE FINITE DETERMINATION RESULT FOR EMBEDDINGS OF LOCALLY FINITE METRIC SPACES INTO BANACH SPACES
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2019) Ostrovska, S.; Ostrovskii, M. I.; Mathematics
    Given a Banach space X and a real number alpha >= 1, we write: (1) D(X) <= alpha if, for any locally finite metric space A, all finite subsets of which admit bilipschitz embeddings into X with distortions <= C, the space A itself admits a bilipschitz embedding into X with distortion <= alpha . C; (2) D(X) = alpha(+) if, for every epsilon > 0, the condition D(X) <= alpha + epsilon holds, while D(X) <= alpha does not; (3) D(X) <= alpha(+) if D(X) = alpha(+) or D(X) <= alpha. It is known that D(X) is bounded by a universal constant, but the available estimates for this constant are rather large. The following results have been proved in this work: (1) D((circle plus(infinity)(n= 1) X-n)(p)) <= 1(+) for every nested family of finite-dimensional Banach spaces {X-n}(n=1)(infinity) and every 1 <= p <= 8 infinity. (2) D((circle plus 8(n=1)(infinity)l(infinity)(n) )(p)) = 1(+) for 1 < p < infinity. (3) D(X) <= 4(+) for every Banach space X with no nontrivial cotype. Statement (3) is a strengthening of the Baudier-Lancien result (2008).

    On the eigenvectors of the q-Bernstein operators
    (Wiley, 2014) Ostrovska, S.; Turan, M.; Mathematics
    In this article, both the eigenvectors and the eigenvalues of the q-Bernstein operators have been studied. Explicit formulae are presented for the eigenvectors, whose limit behavior is determined both in the case 01. Because the classical case, where q=1, was investigated exhaustively by S. Cooper and S. Waldron back in 2000, the present article also discusses the related similarities and distinctions with the results in the classical case. Copyright (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
