Abstract
In this chapter we present some mathematical concepts that are useful when deriving limit theorems for long-memory processes.
We start with a general description of univariate orthogonal polynomials in Sect. 3.1, with particular emphasis on Hermite polynomials in Sect. 3.1.2. Under suitable conditions, a function G can be expanded into a series
with respect to an orthogonal basis consisting of Hermite polynomials H j (⋅) (\(j\in\mathbb{N}\)). Such expansions are used to study sequences G(X t ) where X t (\(t\in\mathbb{Z}\)) is a Gaussian process with long memory (see Sect. 4.2.3). Hermite polynomials can also be extended to the multivariate case. This is discussed in Sect. 3.2.
