Convergence rates of the LIL for random fields in Hilbert spaces

Considering the positive d-dimensional lattice point Z ₊ ^d (d ≥ 2) with partial ordering ≤, let {X _k: k ∈ Z ₊ ^d } be i.i.d. random variables taking values in a real separable Hilbert space (H, ‖ · ‖) with mean zero and covariance operator Σ, and set $ S_n = \sum\limits_{k \leqslant n} {X_k } $ S_n = \sum\limits_{k \leqslant n} {X_k } , n ∈ Z ₊ ^d . Let σ _i ², i ≥ 1, be the eigenvalues of Σ arranged in the non-increasing order and taking into account the multiplicities. Let l be the dimension of the corresponding eigenspace, and denote the largest eigenvalue of Σ by σ ². Let logx = ln(x ∨ e), x ≥ 0. This paper studies the convergence rates for $ \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}} P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2\left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} } \right) $ \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}} P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2\left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} } \right) . We show that when l ≥ 2 and b > −l/2, E[‖X‖²(log ‖X‖) ^d−2(log log ‖X‖) ^b+4] < ∞ implies $ \begin{gathered} \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \searrow \sqrt {d - 1} } (\varepsilon ^2 - d + 1)^{b + l/2} \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt 2 \left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)} \hfill \\ = \frac{{K(\Sigma )(d - 1)^{\frac{{l - 2}} {2}} \Gamma (b + l/2)}} {{\Gamma (l/2)(d - 1)!}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $ \begin{gathered} \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \searrow \sqrt {d - 1} } (\varepsilon ^2 - d + 1)^{b + l/2} \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt 2 \left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)} \hfill \\ = \frac{{K(\Sigma )(d - 1)^{\frac{{l - 2}} {2}} \Gamma (b + l/2)}} {{\Gamma (l/2)(d - 1)!}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} , where Γ(·) is the Gamma function and $ \prod\limits_{i = l + 1}^\infty {((\sigma ^2 - \sigma _i^2 )/\sigma ^2 )^{ - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} } $ \prod\limits_{i = l + 1}^\infty {((\sigma ^2 - \sigma _i^2 )/\sigma ^2 )^{ - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} } .

LetT: H→H be a nonexpansive mapping on a Hilbert spaceH and let (x_n) be aT-martingale taking on values inH. If then x _n /n converges a.e. LetT: X→X be a nonexpansive mapping on ap-uniformly smooth Banach spaceX, 1<p≤2, and let (x_n) be aT-martingale (taking on values inX). If then there exists a continuous linear functionalf∈X ^* of norm 1 such that If, in addition, the spaceX is strictly convex, x _n /n converges weakly; and if the norm ofX ^* is Fréchet differentiable (away from zero), x _n /n converges strongly.

Complete moment and integral convergence for sums of negatively associated random variables

For a sequence of identically distributed negatively associated random variables {Xn; n ≥ 1} with partial sums Sn = ∑i=1^n Xi, n ≥ 1, refinements are presented of the classical Baum-Katz and Lai complete convergence theorems. More specifically, necessary and sufficient moment conditions are provided for complete moment convergence of the form ∑n≥n0 n^r-2-1/pq anE（max1≤k≤n｜Sk｜^1/q-∈bn^1/qp）^＋〈∞to hold where r 〉 1, q 〉 0 and either n0 = 1,0 〈 p 〈 2, an = 1,bn = n or n0 = 3,p = 2, an = 1 （log n） ^1/2q, bn=n log n. These results extend results of Chow and of Li and Spataru from the indepen- dent and identically distributed case to the identically distributed negatively associated setting. The complete moment convergence is also shown to be equivalent to a form of complete integral convergence.

By using the strong approximation, we prove that, if EX = 0, VarX = σ2 0 and E|X| 2+ε ∞ for some ε 0, then for any r 1, lim ε1/(r-1)(1/2) [ε-2-(r-1)]∞∑n=1 nr-2 P{Mn ≤εσ (π2n/(8log n))(1/2) + an } = 4/π . We also show that the widest a n is o( n(1/2)/logn).

On the Relationship Between the Baum-Katz-Spitzer Complete Convergence Theorem and the Law of the Iterated Logarithm

For a sequence of i.i.d. Banach space-valued random variables {Xn; n ≥ 1} and a sequence of positive constants {an; n ≥ 1}, the relationship between the Baum-Katz-Spitzer complete convergence theorem and the law of the iterated logarithm is investigated. Sets of conditions are provided under which （i） lim sup n→∞ ｜｜Sn｜｜/an〈∞ a.s.and ∞ ∑n=1（1/n）P（｜｜Sn｜｜/an ≥ε〈∞for all ε 〉 λ for some constant λ ∈ [0, ∞） are equivalent; （ii） For all constants λ ∈ [0, ∞）, lim sup ｜｜Sn｜｜/an =λ a.s.and ^∞∑ n=1（1/n） P（｜｜Sn｜｜/an ≥ε）{〈∞, if ε〉λ =∞,if ε〈λare equivalent. In general, no geometric conditions are imposed on the underlying Banach space. Corollaries are presented and new results are obtained even in the case of real-valued random variables.
