Two-Sample U-Statistic Processes for Long-Range Dependent Data
  Motivated by some common-change point tests, we investigate the asymptotic distribution of the U-statistic process $U_n(t)=\sum_{i=1}^{[nt]}\sum_{j=[nt]+1}^n h(X_i,X_j)$, $0\leq t\leq 1$, when the underlying data are long-range dependent. We present two approaches, one based on an expansion of the kernel $h(x,y)$ into Hermite polynomials, the other based on an empirical process representation of the U-statistic. Together, the two approaches cover a wide range of kernels, including all kernels commonly used in applications.
