Many useful descriptions of stochastic models can be obtained from functional limit theorems invariance principles or weak convergence theorems for probability measures on function spaces. These descriptions typically come from standard functional limit theorems via the continuous mapping theorem. This paper facilitates applications of the continuous mapping theorem by determining when several important functions and sequences of functions preserve convergence. The functions considered are…

Some Useful Functions for Functional Large Deviations
Useful descriptions of stochastic models are often provided when they are represented as functions of well understood stochastic models. Properties of the well understood model can be preserved by…

Functional Limit Theorems
The classical central limit theorem was generalized to a functional central limit theorem by Donsker (1951) (see Theorem A.3.2). In words the result means that one considers the partial sums S 0,S…
Sufficient conditions for functional-limit-theorem versions ofL = λW
TLDR
Here the familiar queueing principle can be extended to include relations among other classical limit theorems such as central limit theoresms and laws of the iterated logarithm using regenerative structure.
FUNCTIONAL LIMIT THEOREM FOR INTEGRALS DRIVEN BY SOME LÉVY PROCESSES
Under proper scaling and distributional assumptions, we prove the convergence in the Skorokhod space endowed with the M1-topology of a sequence of stochastic integrals of a deterministic function…
Asymptotics for random functions moderated by dependent noise
We study limit theorems for a wide class of multi-parameter stochastic processes which are driven by a noise process which may be weakly or even long-range dependent. The processes under study arise…
Limit theorems for continuous-time random walks with infinite mean waiting times
A continuous-time random walk is a simple random walk subordinated to a renewal process used in physics to model anomalous diffusion. In this paper we show that, when the time between renewals has…
REGULAR VARIATION FOR MEASURES ON METRIC SPACES
The foundations of regular variation for Borel measures on a com- plete separable space S, that is closed under multiplication by nonnegative real numbers, is reviewed. For such measures an…

Weak convergence of stochastic processes with several parameters
Looking at a stochastic process as a function plucked at random may be interesting in its own right, but there is a statistical reason for doing so: a large class of limit theorems for functions of…
