Abstract

Our main goal is to study the behavior of the tail probabilities \({\mathbf{P}}(V^2<r)\) as \(r\rightarrow 0\), where \(V^2\) is defined by the following double sum

$$\begin{aligned} V^2 =\pi ^{-4}\,\sum \limits _{i,j\ge 1} \Big ((i+b)\,(j + {\delta })\Big )^{-2}\,\xi _{ij}^2, \end{aligned}$$

where \( \{\xi _{ij}\} \) are independent standard normal random variables, and b and \({\delta }\) are constants: \(b>-1\) and \(\delta >-1\).
