AbstractLet X0, X1…Xn,… be a stationary Gaussian process. We give sufficient conditions for the expected number of real zeros of the polynomial Qn (z) = Σnj =o X jzj to be (2/ π)log n as n tends to infinity.

The second-moment structure of an estimator V*(t) of the variance-time curve V(t) of a weakly stationary point process is obtained in the case where the process is Poisson. This result is used to establish the weak convergence of a class of estimators of the form Tβ (V*(tTα ) – V(tTα )), 0 < α < 1, to a non-stationary Gaussian process. Similar results are shown to hold when α = 0 and in the case where V(tTα ) is replaced by a suitable estimator.

Results of a previous paper (Liebetrau (1977a)) are extended to higher dimensions. An estimator V∗(t 1, t 2) of the variance function V(t 1, t 2) of a two-dimensional process is defined, and its first- and second-moment structure is given assuming the process to be Poisson. Members of a class of estimators of the form where and for 0 < α i < 1, are shown to converge weakly to a non-stationary Gaussian process. Similar results hold when the t′i are taken to be constants, when V is replaced by a suitable estimator and when the dimensionality of the underlying Poisson process is greater than two.
