Constructive Approximation Aims and scope

Abstract

LetX 1, X2, ⋯, be a sequence of independent, identically distributed bounded random variables with a smooth density functionf. We prove that\(\int_a^b | f_{m,n} (t) - f(t)|^p w(t)dt(1 \leqslant p< \infty )\) is asymptotically normal, wheref m, n is the Fourier series density estimator offandw is a nonnegative weight function.
