Why is it necessary X and Y beeing bounded when having same moments to be equal












1















Let $X,Y$ random variables in $[0,1]$ with $E(X^n)=E(Y^n) ,forall nin mathbb N$. I want to show $Xoverset{d}{=} Y$.




$$E(e^{itX})=intsum frac{(itx)^k}{k!}dF_Xoverset{dom. conv.}{=}sumintfrac{(itx)^k}{k!}dF_x=sumfrac{(it)^k}{k!}int x^kdF_xoverset{EX^n=EY^n}{=}sumfrac{(it)^k}{k!}int x^kdF_Y=dots=E(e^{itY})$$




I am aware of the fact $EX^n=EY^n$ does not imply $Xoverset{d}{=}Y$ in general. I did not use that X and Y are bounded, so what am I missing?

          You have to justify interchange of integral and sum. In this case $int sum |frac {(itx)^{k}} {k!}|d_F(x) leq e^{|t|}$ so we can use Fubini's Theorem.

            Application of DCT is not that simple. It will not work if $x$ is not restricted to a bounded set.
