Invariance principles in Hölder spaces.(English)Zbl 0965.60011

The weak convergence of random elements in Hölder space $$H_\alpha[0,1]$$ is studied, especially in a separable subspace $$H^0_\alpha$$ of functions $$f$$, for which the Hölderian modulus of continuity $$\omega_\alpha (f, \delta)\to 0$$, as $$\delta\to 0$$. J. Lamperti [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 104, 430-435 (1962; Zbl 0113.33502)] established a Hölderian version of i.i.d. Donsker-Prokhorov’s invariance principle. In the present paper it is extended to the cases of strong mixing and of associated random variables, see the moment inequalities for the latter of T. Birkel [Ann. Probab. 16, No. 3, 1184-1193 (1988; Zbl 0647.60039)]. Similar convergence is proved for the convolution smoothing of partial sums processes. The presentation is very clear. Some proofs of auxiliary statements are given, which are known in the literature.
