Let 0 < p ≤ 2, let {Xn; n ≥ 1} be a sequence of independent copies of a real-valued random variable X, and set Sn = X1 + . . . + Xn, n ≥ ­ 1. Motivated by a theorem of Mikosch 1984, this note is devoted to establishing a strong law of large numbers for the sequence {max1≤k≤n |Sk| ; n ≥ ­ 1}. More specifically, necessary and sufficient conditions are given forlimn→∞ max1≤k≤n |Sk|log n−1 = e1/p a.s.,where log x = loge max{e, x}, x ≥­ 0.

In this paper, we establish one general result on precise asymptotics of weighted sums for i.i.d. random variables. As a corollary, we have the results of Lanzinger and Stadtmüller [Refined Baum–Katz laws for weighted sums of iid random variables, Statist. Probab. Lett. 69 (2004) 357–368], Gut and Spătaru [Precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm, Ann. Probab. 28 (2000) 1870–1883; Precise asymptotics in the Baum–Katz and Davis laws of large numbers, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 248 (2000) 233–246], Gut and Steinebach [Convergence rates and precise asymptotics for renewal counting processes and some first passage times, Fields Inst. Comm. 44 (2004) 205–227] and Heyde [A supplement to the strong law of large numbers, J. Appl. Probab. 12 (1975) 173–175]. Meanwhile, we provide an answer for the possible conclusion pointed out by Lanzinger and Stadtmüller [Refined Baum–Katz laws for weighted sums of iid random variables, Statist. Probab. Lett. 69 (2004) 357–368].

Let {Xij}be a double sequence of pairwise independent random variables. If P{|Xmn|≥t}≤P{|X|≥t}for all nonnegative real numbers tandE|X|p(log+|X|)3<∞, for1<p<2, then we prove that∑i=1m∑j=1n(Xij−EXij)(mn)1/p→0    a.s.   as  m∨n→∞.                                     (0.1)Under the weak condition ofE|X|plog+|X|<∞, it converges to 0inL1. And the results can be generalized to anr-dimensional array of random variables under the conditionsE|X|p(log+|X|)r+1<∞,E|X|p(log+|X|)r−1<∞, respectively, thus, extending Choi and Sung's result [1] of the one-dimensional case.

A sequence of random variables is said to be extended negatively dependent (END) if the tails of its finite-dimensional distributions in the lower-left and upper-right corners are dominated by a multiple of the tails of the corresponding finite-dimensional distributions of a sequence of independent random variables with the same marginal distributions. The goal of this paper is to establish the strong law of large numbers for a sequence of END and identically distributed random variables. In doing so we derive some new inequalities of large deviation type for the sums of END and identically distributed random variables being suitably truncated. We also show applications of our main result to risk theory and renewal theory.
