Does approximately null gradient imply approximately global minimum for convex functions?
$\newcommand\Om\Omega\newcommand\R{\Bbb R}$The answer is no.
Indeed, for real $k>0$, let
$$G_k:=\{(x,y)\in\Bbb R^2\colon x>1,|y|<k\sqrt x\}. $$
For $(x,y)\in G_2$, let
$$f_0(x,y):=y^2/x-1.$$
For all $ …

Is finding the CDF from the Laplace transform well-posed?
$\newcommand\ep\varepsilon$
So the question can be restated as follows: if the Laplace transforms converge pointwise, do the CDFs also converge pointwise?
The answer is yes.
Indeed, let $P_n$ ($n=1, …

Convergence in probability of sample covariance for permutation invariant triangular arrays
$\newcommand{\ep}{\varepsilon}$Let us write $n$ instead of $N$ and $k$ instead of $n$. For brevity, let us also write $X_i$ and $Y_i$ instead of $X_{n,i}$ and $Y_{n,i}$.
For any function $f$ of severa …

Rate of convergence of the minimum point over a product space
$\newcommand\ep\epsilon\newcommand\th\theta\newcommand\de\delta$The answer is yes, even with $C=1$ for all such $f$.
Indeed, let $f$ satisfy all your conditions on $f$. Let $g(0):=0$. For real $x>0$, …

Decay rate of minimum point over a product space
$\newcommand\ep\epsilon\newcommand\th\theta$Yes, $|\th_\ep-\th_0|$ can decay arbitrarily slowly compared to $f(\th_\ep,\ep)$.
Indeed, let $g\colon\Bbb R\to\Bbb R$ be any smooth function such that $g(0 …

Example of a conditionally convergent series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty b_n$ such that $n^2(b_n-b_{n...
The answer is yes, such an example exists.
For instance, let $b_1=0$ and $b_n=(-1)^j h_j(n)$ for $j=1,2,\dots$ and $n\in N_j:=\{2^j,\dots,2^{j+1}-1\}$, where
$$h_j(n):=c_j\frac{\min(n-2^j,2^{j+1}-n)}{ …

Convergence of distance
$\newcommand\de\delta$The answer is no. In fact, $d_H(A,C_n(L_n))$ can be however large or even infinite for all $n$.
Indeed, e.g. suppose that $X=[-1,a)$ for some $a\in(0,\infty]$ endowed with the st …

Uniform convergence of differential quotients in $L^1$
We have
$$d(t):=\int dx\Big(\frac{f(x+t)-f(x)}{t}-f'(x)\Big)
=\int dx\int_0^1 ds\,(f'(x+st)-f'(x)),$$
whence
$$|d(t)|\le\int_0^1 ds\, J_t(s),$$
where
$$J_t(s):=\int dx\,|f'(x+st)-f'(x)|\underset{t\to0 …

Indeed, take any real $c\ge1/2$ and let

Limits of integral series
No.
Indeed, make the substitution $x=u^{-1/2}$. That is, let $G_n(u):=F_n(u^{-1/2})$ and $G(u):=F(u^{-1/2})$, so that $\int_0^1\frac{F_n(x)}{x^3}\,dx=\frac12\,\int_1^\infty G_n$ and $\int_0^1\frac{F(x …

How to show a function converges to 1
The following answer is incomplete.
Clearly, $0\le f\le1$. Let $h:=1-f$, so that $0\le h\le1$, $h(a,0)=0$, and $h(0,b)=1$ if $b\ge1$. Here and in what follows, $a$ and $b$ are nonnegative integers.
We …
