We study the almost sure convergence of weighted sums of dependent random variables to a positive and finite constant, in the case when the random variables have either mean zero or no mean at all. These are not typical strong laws and they are called exact strong laws of large numbers. We do not assume any particular type of dependence and furthermore consider sequences which are not necessarily identically distributed. The obtained results may be applied to sequences of negatively associated random variables.

AbstractLet Xn, n ≥ 1 be an asymptotically almost negatively associated (AANA) sequence of random variables. Some complete convergence and Marcinkiewicz–Zygmund type strong laws of large numbers for an AANA sequence of random variables are obtained. The results obtained generalize the results of Kim, Ko and Lee (Kim, T. S., Ko, M. H. and Lee, I. H. 2004. On the strong laws for asymptotically almost negatively associated random variables. Rocky Mountain J. of Math. 34, 979–989.).

Letan,n≥1be a sequence of positive constants withan/n↑and letX,Xn,n≥1be a sequence of pairwise negatively quadrant dependent random variables. The complete convergence for pairwise negatively quadrant dependent random variables is studied under mild condition. In addition, the strong laws of large numbers for identically distributed pairwise negatively quadrant dependent random variables are established, which are equivalent to the mild condition∑n=1∞PX>an<∞. Our results obtained in the paper generalize the corresponding ones for pairwise independent and identically distributed random variables.

Some strong laws of large numbers and strong convergence properties for arrays of rowwise negatively associated and linearly negative quadrant dependent random variables are obtained. The results obtained not only generalize the result of Hu and Taylor to negatively associated and linearly negative quadrant dependent random variables, but also improve it.

AbstractStrong laws are established for linear statistics that are weighted sums of a $$\tilde \rho $$ -mixing random sample. The results obtained generalize the results of Baxter et al. [SLLN for weighted independent indentically distributed random variables, J. Theoret. Probab. 17 (2004), 165–181] to $$\tilde \rho $$ -mixing random variables.
