Convergence of long-memory discrete -th order Volterra processes

We obtain limit theorems for a class of nonlinear discrete-time processes called the -th order Volterra processes of order . These are moving average -th order polynomial forms: \[ X(n)=\sum_{0<i_1,\ldots,i_k<\infty}a(i_1,\ldots,i_k)\epsilon_{n-i_1}\ldots\epsilon_{n-i_k}, \] where is i.i.d.\ with , , where is a nonrandom coefficient, and where the diagonals are included in the summation. We specify conditions for to be well-defined in , and focus on central and non-central limit theorems. We show that normalized partial sums of centered obey the central limit theorem if decays fast enough so that has short memory. We prove a non-central limit theorem if, on the other hand, is asymptotically some slowly decaying homogeneous function so that has long memory. In the non-central case the limit is a linear combination of Hermite-type processes of different orders. This linear combination can be expressed as a centered multiple Wiener-Stratonovich integral.
