Martingale convergence Theorems for Tensor Splines

Abstract

In this article we prove martingale type pointwise convergence theorems pertaining to tensor product splines defined on $d$-dimensional Euclidean space ($d$ is a positive integer), where conditional expectations are replaced by their corresponding tensor spline orthoprojectors. Versions of Doob's maximal inequality, the martingale convergence theorem and the characterization of the Radon-Nikod\'{y}m property of Banach spaces $X$ in terms of pointwise $X$-valued martingale convergence are obtained in this setting. Those assertions are in full analogy to their martingale counterparts and hold independently of filtration, spline degree, and dimension $d$.
