Let{Xk}be independent random variables withEXk=0for allkand let{ank:n≥1, k≥1}be an array of real numbers. In this paper the almost sure convergence ofSn=∑k=1nankXk,n=1,2,…, to a constant is studied under various conditions on the weights{ank}and on the random variables{Xk}using martingale theory. In addition, the results are extended to weighted sums of random elements in Banach spaces which have Schauder bases. This extension provides a convergence theorem that applies to stochastic processes which may be considered as random elements in function spaces.

Let{wn}be a sequence of positive constants andWn=w1+…+wnwhereWn→∞andwn/Wn→∞. Let{Wn}be a sequence of independent random elements inD[0,1]. The almost sure convergence ofWn−1∑k=1nwkXkis established under certain integral conditions and growth conditions on the weights{wn}. The results are shown to be substantially stronger than the weighted sums convergence results of Taylor and Daffer (1980) and the strong laws of large numbers of Ranga Rao (1963) and Daffer and Taylor (1979).

The convergence in mean of a weighted sum∑kank(Xk−EXk)of random elements in a separable Banach space is studied under a new hypothesis which relates the random elements with their respective weights in the sum: the{ank}-compactly uniform integrability of{Xn}. This condition, which is implied by the tightness of{Xn}and the{ank}-uniform integrability of{‖Xn‖}, is weaker than the compactly miform integrability of{Xn}and leads to a result of convergence in mean which is strictly stronger than a recent result of Wang, Rao and Deli.
