Abstract

Let (E, ¦·¦) be a uniformly convex Banach space with the modulus of uniform convexity of power type. Let μ be the convolution of the distribution of a random series inE with independent one-dimensional components and an arbitrary probability measure onE. Under some assumptions about the components and the smoothness of the norm we show that there exists a constant ϰ such that |μ{‖·‖<t}−μ{‖·+r‖<t}|⩽ϰ‖rq, whereq depends on the properties of the norm. We specify it in the case ofL α spaces, α>1.
