Let $\{X_{k,i};i\geq 1,k\geq 1\}$ be an array of i.i.d. random variables and let $\{p_n;n\geq 1\}$ be a sequence of positive integers such that $n/p_n$ is bounded away from 0 and $\infty$. For $W_n=\max_{1\leq i<j\leq…
For a sequence $\{X_{n}, \, n \geqslant 1 \}$ of random variables satisfying $\mathbb{E} \lvert X_{n} \rvert < \infty$ for all $n \geqslant 1$, a maximal inequality is established, and used to obtain strong law of large numbers for…
We establish the Kolmogorov-Feller weak law of large numbers for Frechet mean on non-compact symmetric spaces under certain regularity conditions. Our results accommodate non-identically distributed random variables and are accompanied by…
We give a short, self-contained, and elementary proof of the strong law of large numbers under a power law decay hypothesis for joint second moments. The result is related to the classical one by Lyons. However, we also provide a rate of…
A new version of a weak nonlinear law of large numbers proposed. The existence of the first moment for any summand is not assumed. The assumption of independence is understood in the nonlinear sense, and may be further a little relaxed.
We give simple proofs, under minimal hypotheses, of the Weak Law of Large Numbers and the Central Limit Theorem for independent identically distributed random variables. These proofs use only the elementary calculus, together with the most…
Using a coupling argument, we establish a general weak law of large numbers for functionals of binomial point processes in d-dimensional space, with a limit that depends explicitly on the (possibly non-uniform) density of the point process.…
For a sequence $\{X_{n}, \, n \geqslant 1 \}$ of nonnegative random variables where $\max[\min(X_{n} - s,t),0]$, $t > s \geqslant 0$, satisfy a moment inequality, sufficient conditions are given under which $\sum_{k=1}^n (X_k - \mathbb{E}…
Let $S_n$ be the sum of independent random variables with distribution $F$. Under the assumption that $-\log(1-F(x))$ is slowly varying, conditions for $$ \lim_{n\to\infty}\sup_{s\ge t_n}\left|{P[S_n>s]\over n(1-F(s))}-1\right| =0 $$ are…
We show that the de Bruijn-Erd\H{o}s condition for the error term in their improvement of Fekete's Lemma is not only sufficient but also necessary in the following strong sense. Suppose that given a sequence $0\leq f(1)\leq f(2)\leq…
The celebrated theorem of Komlos asserts that L1-boundedness is sufficient for a given sequence of functions to contain a subsequence along which (in a "lacunary" manner), and along whose every further subsequence ("hereditarily"), a strong…
The Law of Large Numbers tells us that as the sample size (N) is increased, the sample mean converges on the population mean, provided that the latter exists. In this paper, we investigate the opposite effect: keeping the sample size fixed…
Let $\{Z_k\}_{k\geqslant 1}$ denote a sequence of independent Bernoulli random variables defined by ${\mathbb P}(Z_k=1)=1/k=1-{\mathbb P}(Z_k=0)$ $(k\geqslant 1)$ and put $T_n:=\sum_{1\leqslant k\leqslant n}kZ_k$. It is then known that…
We consider the sums $T_N=\sum_{n=1}^N F(S_n)$ where $S_n$ is a random walk on $\mathbb Z^d$ and $F:\mathbb Z^d\to \mathbb R$ is a global observable, that is, a bounded function which admits an average value when averaged over large cubes.…
It is shown that the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund strong law of large numbers holds for pairwise independent identically distributed random variables. It is proved that if $X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots$ are pairwise independent identically distributed…
The Marcinkiewicz Strong Law, $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{1}{n^{\frac1p}}\sum_{k=1}^n (D_{k}- D)=0$ a.s. with $p\in(1,2)$, is studied for outer products $D_k=X_k\overline{X}_k^T$, where $\{X_k\},\{\overline{X}_k\}$ are both…
We derive so-called weak and strong \textit{max-laws of large numbers} for $% \max_{1\leq i\leq k_{n}}|1/n\sum_{t=1}^{n}x_{i,n,t}|$ for zero mean stochastic triangular arrays $\{x_{i,n,t}$ $:$ $1$ $\leq $ $t$ $\leq n\}_{n\geq 1}$, with…
Van der Waerden's theorem states that for any positive integers $k$ and $r$, there exists a smallest value $n = w(k,r)$, called the van der Waerden number, such that every $r$-coloring of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ contains a monochromatic $k$-term…
We establish the rate of convergence in the strong law of large numbers of discrete Fourier Transform of the identically distributed random variables with finite moment of order p, where 1<p<2.
