Nov 16, 2020 at 1:59 comment added Iosif Pinelis @FedorPetrov : You are right. I forgot that you are dealing there with the tail probabilities, rather with the quadratic exponential moments.
Nov 15, 2020 at 23:19 comment added Fedor Petrov @IosifPinelis why entire line? $\lambda$ changes from 0 to $\infty$
Nov 15, 2020 at 22:44 comment added Iosif Pinelis @FedorPetrov : You integrate $x\mapsto e^{ax}$ over the entire real line for some real $a$. So, the integral will be $\infty$ no matter whether $a$ is $>0$ or $<0$ or $=0$.
Nov 15, 2020 at 22:15 comment added Fedor Petrov @IosifPinelis (i) fixed, for (ii) I am not sure, if the average of $\sum \delta_i X_i$ is negative.

Nov 15, 2020 at 20:28 comment added Iosif Pinelis This is nice. Just wo little things: (i) it is $t<1/(2\sigma^2)$ and $t\ge1/(2\sigma^2)$, rather than $t<2\sigma^2$ and $t\ge2\sigma^2$, and (ii) you cannot take $t=1/(2\sigma^2)$ for any specific $\delta$'s.
