Piterbarg's max-discretization theorem for stationary vector Gaussian processes observed on different grids

Abstract

In this paper, we derive Piterbarg's max-discretization theorem for two different grids considering centred stationary vector Gaussian processes. So far in the literature results in this direction have been derived for the joint distribution of the maximum of Gaussian processes over and over a grid . In this paper, we extend the recent findings by considering additionally the maximum over another grid . We derive the joint limiting distribution of maximum of stationary Gaussian vector processes for different choices of such grids by letting . As a by-product we find that the joint limiting distribution of the maximum over different grids, which we refer to as the Piterbarg distribution, is in the case of weakly dependent Gaussian processes a max-stable distribution.
