Robustness properties: Asymptotic Optimality (AO)<br />

BRE has <strong>of</strong>ten been found difficult to verify in practice (ex: queueing<br />

<strong>systems</strong>).<br />

Weaker property: asymptotic optimality (or logarithmic efficiency) if<br />

ln(E[X 2 (ǫ)])<br />

lim = 2.<br />

ǫ→0 ln(µ(ǫ))<br />

Equivalent to say that lim ǫ→0 ln(σ 2 [X(ǫ)])/ln(µ(ǫ)) = 2.<br />

Property also called logarithmic efficiency or weak efficiency.<br />

Quantity under limit is always positive and less than or equal to 2:<br />

σ 2 [X(ǫ)] ≥ 0, so E[X 2 (ǫ)] ≥ (µ(ǫ)) 2 and then ln E[X 2 (ǫ)] ≥ 2ln µ(ǫ),<br />

i.e.,<br />

ln E[X 2 (ǫ)]<br />

≤ 2.<br />

lnµ(ǫ)<br />

Interpretation: the second moment and the square <strong>of</strong> the mean go to<br />

zero at the same exponential rate.<br />
