AbstractThe main purpose of the paper is to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the almost sure boundedness of (Sn – αn)/B(n), where Sn = X1 + X2 + … + XmXi being independent and identically distributed random variables, and αnand B(n) being centering and norming constants. The conditions take the form of the convergence or divergence of a series of a geometric subsequence of the sequence P(Sn − αn > a B(n)), where a is a constant. The theorem is distinguished from previous similar results by the comparative weakness of the subsidiary conditions and the simplicity of the calculations. As an application, a law of the iterated logarithm general enough to include a result of Feller is derived.

By an inequality of partial sum and uniform convergence of the central limit theorem under sublinear expectations, we establish precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm for independent and identically distributed random variables under sublinear expectations.

Let X 1, X2, X 3 , ··· be independent, identically distributed random variables on a probability space (Ω, F, P); and with a continuous distribution function. Let the sequence of indices {Vr } be defined as Also define The following theorem is due to Renyi [5].
