Structural and geometric characteristics of sets of convergence and divergence of multiple Fourier series with J k -lacunary sequence of rectangular partial sums

We study multiple trigonometric Fourier series of functions f in the classes $L_p \left( {\mathbb{T}^N } \right)$ , p > 1, which equal zero on some set $\mathfrak{A}, \mathfrak{A} \subset \mathbb{T}^N , \mu \mathfrak{A} > 0$ (µ is the Lebesgue measure), $\mathbb{T}^N = \left[ { - \pi ,\pi } \right]^N$ , N ≥ 3. We consider the case when rectangular partial sums of the indicated Fourier series S _n (x; f) have index n = (n ₁, ..., n _N ) ∈ ? ^N , in which k (k ≥ 1) components on the places {j ₁, ..., j _k } = J _k ? {1, ..., N} are elements of (single) lacunary sequences (i.e., we consider multiple Fourier series with J _k -lacunary sequence of partial sums). A correlation is found of the number k and location (the “sample” J _k ) of lacunary sequences in the index n with the structural and geometric characteristics of the set $\mathfrak{A}$ , which determines possibility of convergence almost everywhere of the considered series on some subset of positive measure $\mathfrak{A}_1$ of the set $\mathfrak{A}$ .

Representations of analytic functions as infinite products and their application to numerical computations

Let D be an open disk of radius ≤1 in $\mathbb{C}$ , and let (? _n ) be a sequence of ±1. We prove that for every analytic function $f: D \to \mathbb{C}$ without zeros in D, there exists a unique sequence (α _n ) of complex numbers such that $f(z) = f(0)\prod_{n=1}^{\infty} (1+\epsilon_{n}z^{n})^{\alpha_{n}}$ for every z∈D. From this representation we obtain a numerical method for calculating products of the form ∏ _p prime f(1/p) provided f(0)=1 and f′(0)=0; our method generalizes a well-known method of Pieter Moree. We illustrate this method on a constant of Ramanujan $\pi^{-1/2}\prod _{p~\text{prime}} \sqrt{p^{2}-p}\ln(p/(p-1))$ . From the properties of the exponents α _n , we obtain a proof of the following congruences, which have been the subject of several recent publications motivated by some questions of Arnold: for every n×n integral matrix A, every prime number p, and every positive integer k we have $\operatorname{tr} A^{p^{k}} \equiv\operatorname{tr} A^{p^{k-1}} { \hbox {\rm { (mod\ $p^{k}$) }}}$ .     

О некоторых свойства х частичных сумм рядо в Фурье—Уолша—Пэли

In this paper we consider the behaviour of partial sums of Fourier—Walsh—Paley series on the group62-01. We prove the following theorems: Theorem 1. Let {n _k } _k ^=1/∞ be some increasing convex sequence of natural numbers such that $$\mathop {\lim sup}\limits_m m^{ - 1/2} \log n_m< \infty $$ . Then for anyf∈L ^∞(G) $$\left( {\frac{1}{m}\sum\limits_{j = 1}^m {|Sn_j (f;0)|^2 } } \right)^{1/2} \leqq C \cdot \left\| f \right\|_\infty $$ . Theorem 2. Let {n _k } _k ^=1/∞ be a lacunary sequence of natural numbers,n _k+1/n _k≧q>1. Then for anyfεL ^∞(G) $$\sum\limits_{j = 1}^m {|Sn_j (f;0)| \leqq C_q \cdot m^{1/2} \cdot \log n_m \cdot \left\| f \right\|_\infty } $$ . Theorems. Let µ _k =2 ^k +2 ^k-2+2 ^k-4+...+2^α ₀,α ₀=0,1. Then $$\begin{gathered} \{ \{ S_{\mu _k } (f:0\} _{k = 1}^\infty ;f \in L^\infty (G)\} = \{ \{ a_k \} _{k = 1}^\infty ;\sum\limits_{k = 1}^m {a_k^2 = 0(m)^2 \} .} \hfill \\ \{ \{ S_{\mu _k } (f:0\} _{k = 1}^\infty ;f \in C(G)\} = \{ \{ a_k \} _{k = 1}^\infty ;\sum\limits_{k = 1}^m {a_k^2 = o(m)^2 \} = } \hfill \\ = \{ \{ S_{\mu _k } (f:0\} _{k = 1}^\infty ;f \in C(G),f(0) = 0\} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ . Theorem 4. {{S ₂ k(f: 0)} _k ^=1/∞ ,f∈L ^∞(G)}=m. $$\{ \{ S_{2_k } (f:0\} _{k = 1}^\infty ;f \in C(G)\} = c. \{ \{ S_{2_k } (f:0\} _{k = 1}^\infty ;f \in C(G),f(0) = 0\} = c_0 $$ .     

Fast Growing Solutions of Linear Differential Equations in the Unit Disc

For $n \in \mathbb{N}$ , the n-order of an analytic function f in the unit disc D is defined by $$\sigma _{{{M,n}}} (f) = {\mathop {\lim \sup }\limits_{r \to 1^{ - } } }\frac{{\log ^{ + }_{{n + 1}} M(r,f)}} {{ - \log (1 - r)}},$$ where log⁺ x  =  max{log x, 0}, log ⁺ ₁ x  =  log ⁺ x, log ⁺ _n+1 x  =  log ⁺ log ⁺ _n x, and M(r, f) is the maximum modulus of f on the circle of radius r centered at the origin. It is shown, for example, that the solutions f of the complex linear differential equation $$f^{{(k)}} + a_{{k - 1}} (z)f^{{(k - 1)}} + \cdots + a_{1} (z)f^{\prime} + a_{0} (z)f = 0,\quad \quad \quad (\dag)$$ where the coefficients are analytic in D, satisfy σ _M,n+1(f)  ≤  α if and only if σ _M,n (a _j )  ≤  α for all j  =  0, ..., k ? 1. Moreover, if q ∈{0, ..., k ? 1} is the largest index for which $\sigma _{M,n} ( a_{q}) = {\mathop {\max }\limits_{0 \leq j \leq k - 1} }{\left\{ {\sigma _{{M,n}} {\left( {a_{j} } \right)}} \right\}}$ , then there are at least k ? q linearly independent solutions f of ( $\dag$ ) such that σ _M,n+1(f) = σ _M,n (a _q ). Some refinements of these results in terms of the n-type of an analytic function in D are also given.     

Limit ultraspherical series and their approximation properties

We study new series of the form $\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)} $ in which the general term $f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)$ , k = 0, 1, …, is obtained by passing to the limit as α→?1 from the general term $\hat f_k^\alpha \hat P_k^{\alpha ,\alpha } (x)$ of the Fourier series $\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {f_k^\alpha \hat P_k^{\alpha ,\alpha } (x)} $ in Jacobi ultraspherical polynomials $\hat P_k^{\alpha ,\alpha } (x)$ generating, for α> ?1, an orthonormal system with weight (1 ? x ₂)α on [?1, 1]. We study the properties of the partial sums $S_n^{ - 1} (f,x) = \sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^n {f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)} $ of the limit ultraspherical series $\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)} $ . In particular, it is shown that the operator S _n ^?1 (f) = S _n ^?1 (f, x) is the projection onto the subspace of algebraic polynomials p _n = p _n (x) of degree at most n, i.e., S _n (p _n ) = p _n ; in addition, S _n ^?1 (f, x) coincides with f(x) at the endpoints ±1, i.e., S _n ^?1 (f,±1) = f(±1). It is proved that the Lebesgue function Λ _n (x) of the partial sums S _n ^?1 (f, x) is of the order of growth equal to O(ln n), and, more precisely, it is proved that $\Lambda _n (x) \leqslant c(1 + \ln (1 + n\sqrt {1 - x^2 } )), - 1 \leqslant x \leqslant 1$ .     

Inversion complexity of self-correcting circuits for a certain sequence of boolean functions

The asymptotics L _k ^? (f ₂ ⁿ ) ?? n min{k+1, p} is obtained for the sequence of Boolean functions $f_2^n \left( {x_1 , \ldots ,x_n } \right) = \mathop \vee \limits_{1 \leqslant i < j \leqslant n}$ for any fixed k, p ?? 1 and growing n, here L _k ^? (f ₂ ⁿ ) is the inversion complexity of realization of the function f ₂ ⁿ by k-self-correcting circuits of functional elements in the basis B = {&, ?}, p is the weight of a reliable invertor.     

Some results on non-linear recurrence

We study the behavior of measure-preserving systems with continuous time along sequences of the form {n ^α}n∈#x2115;} where α is a positive real number¹. Let {S ^t } _t∈? be an ergodic continuous measure preserving flow on a probability Lebesgue space (X, β, μ). Among other results we show that:

1. For all but countably many α (in particular, for all α∈???) one can find anL ^∞-functionf for which the averagesA _N (f)(1/N)=Σ _n=1 ^N f(S ^nα x) fail to converge almost everywhere (the convergence in norm holds for any α!).
2. For any non-integer and pairwise distinct numbers α₁, α₂,..., α _k ∈(0, 1) and anyL ^∞-functionsf ₁,f ₂, ...,f _k , one has $$\mathop {lim}\limits_{N \to \infty } \left\| {\frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{n - 1}^N {\prod\limits_{i - 1}^k {f_i (S^{n^{\alpha _i } } x) - \prod\limits_{i - 1}^k {\int_X {f_i d\mu } } } } } \right\|_{L^2 } = 0$$

We also show that Furstenberg’s correspondence principle fails for ?-actions by demonstrating that for all but a countably many α>0 there exists a setE?? having densityd(E)=1/2 such that, for alln∈?, $$d(E \cap (E - n^\alpha )) = 0$$ .     

Nonvanishing of Rankin–Selberg L-functions for Hilbert modular forms

Let F be a totally real number field of degree n over $\mathbb{Q}$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}$ and narrow class number one. Let S _2k (Γ) be the vector space of cuspidal Hilbert modular forms of parallel weight 2k for $\varGamma=\mathrm{SL}_{2}(\mathcal{O})$ , and let B _2k be an orthogonal Hecke eigenbasis for this space. For any fixed Hecke eigenform f∈S _2k (Γ) and any ε>0, we prove that $$\# \biggl\{ g \in B_{2k}: L \biggl(f \times g, \frac{1}{2} \biggr) \ne0 \biggr\} \gg k^{n- \varepsilon}, $$ where L(f×g,s) is the Rankin–Selberg L–function of f and g.     

Smallest Set-Transversals of k-Partitions

We asymptotically solve an open problem raised independently by Sterboul (Colloq Math Soc J Bolyai 3:1387–1404, 1973), Arocha et al. (J Graph Theory 16:319–326, 1992) and Voloshin (Australas J Combin 11:25–45, 1995). For integers n ≥ k ≥ 2, let f(n, k) denote the minimum cardinality of a family ${\mathcal H}$ of k-element sets over an n-element underlying set X such that every partition ${X_1\cup\cdots\cup X_k=X}$ into k nonempty classes completely partitions some ${H\in\mathcal H}$ ;  that is, ${|H\cap X_i|=1}$ holds for all 1 ≤ i ≤ k. This very natural function—whose defining property for k = 2 just means that ${\mathcal H}$ is a connected graph—turns out to be related to several extensively studied areas in combinatorics and graph theory. We prove general estimates from which ${ f(n,k) = (1+o(1))\, \tfrac{2}{n}\,{n\choose k}}$ follows for every fixed k, and also for all k = o(n ^1/3), as n → ∞. Further, we disprove a conjecture of Arocha et al. (1992). The exact determination of f(n,k) for all n and k appears to be far beyond reach to our present knowledge, since e.g. the equality ${f(n,n-2)={n-2\choose 2}-{\rm ex}(n,\{C_3,C_4\})}$ holds, where the last term is the Turán number for graphs of girth 5.     

Limit distributions in metric discrepancy theory

Let (n _k ) _{k ≥ 1} be a lacunary sequence of integers, satisfying certain number-theoretic conditions. We determine the limit distribution of ${\sqrt{N} D_N (n_{k} x)}$ as ${N \to \infty}$ , where D _N (n _k x) denotes the discrepancy of the sequence (n _k x) _{k ≥ 1} mod 1.

Uniform ergodic convergence and averaging along Markov chain trajectories

LetP(x, A) be a transition probability on a measurable space (S, Σ) and letX _n be the associated Markov chain.Theorem. Letf∈B(S, Σ). Then for anyx∈S we haveP _x a.s. $$\mathop {\underline {\lim } }\limits_{n \to \infty } \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {f(X_k ) \geqslant } \mathop {\underline {\lim } }\limits_{n \to \infty } \mathop {\inf }\limits_{x \in S} \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {P^k f(x)} $$ and (implied by it) a corresponding inequality for the lim. If 1/n∑ _k=1 ⁿ P ^k f converges uniformly, then for everyx∈S, 1/n ∑ _k=1 ⁿ f(X _k ) convergesP _x a.s. Applications are made to ergodic random walks on amenable locally compact groups. We study the asymptotic behavior of 1/n∑ _k=1 ⁿ μ ^k *f and of 1/n∑ _k=1 ⁿ f(X _k ) via that ofΨ _n *f(x)=m(A _n )^?1∫ _An f(xt), where {A _n } is a Følner sequence, in the following cases: (i)f is left uniformly continuous (ii) μ is spread out (iii)G is Abelian. Non-Abelian Example: Let μ be adapted and spread-out on a nilpotent σ-compact locally compact groupG, and let {A _n } be a Følner sequence. If forf∈B(G, ∑) m(A _n )^?1∫ _An f(xt)dm(t) converges uniformly, then 1/n∑ _k=1 ⁿ f(X _k ) converges uniformly, andP _x convergesP _x a.s. for everyx∈G.     

Isothermic Submanifolds

We propose an answer to a question raised by F. Burstall: Is there any interesting theory of isothermic submanifolds of ? ⁿ of dimension greater than two? We call an n-immersion f(x) in ? ^m isothermic _k if the normal bundle of f is flat and x is a line of curvature coordinate system such that its induced metric is of the form $\sum_{i=1}^{n} g_{ii}\,\mathrm{d} x_{i}^{2}$ with $\sum_{i=1}^{n} \epsilon_{i} g_{ii}=0$ , where ?? _i =1 for 1??i??n?k and ?? _i =?1 for n?k<i??n. A smooth map (f ₁,??,f _n ) from an open subset ${\mathcal{O}}$ of ? ⁿ to the space of m×n matrices is called an n-tuple of isothermic _k n-submanifolds in ? ^m if each f _i is an isothermic _k immersion, $(f_{i})_{x_{j}}$ is parallel to $(f_{1})_{x_{j}}$ for all 1??i,j??n, and there exists an orthonormal frame (e ₁,??,e _n ) and a GL(n)-valued map (a _ij ) such that $\mathrm{d}f_{i}= \sum_{j=1}^{n} a_{ij} e_{j}\,\mathrm {d} x_{j}$ for 1??i??n. Isothermic₁ surfaces in ?³ are the classical isothermic surfaces in ?³. Isothermic _k submanifolds in ? ^m are invariant under conformal transformations. We show that the equation for n-tuples of isothermic _k n-submanifolds in ? ^m is the $\frac{O(m+n-k,k)}{O(m)\times O(n-k,k)}$ -system, which is an integrable system. Methods from soliton theory can therefore be used to construct Christoffel, Ribaucour, and Lie transforms, and to describe the moduli spaces of these geometric objects and their loop group symmetries.     

Sharp estimates for the convergence rate of “hyperbolic” partial sums of double fourier series in orthogonal polynomials

Two-variable functions f(x, y) from the class L ₂ = L ₂((a, b) × (c, d); p(x)q(y)) with the weight p(x)q(y) and the norm $$\left\| f \right\| = \sqrt {\int\limits_a^b {\int\limits_c^d {p(x)q(x)f^2 (x,y)dxdy} } }$$ are approximated by an orthonormal system of orthogonal P _n (x)Q _n (y), n, m = 0, 1, ..., with weights p(x) and q(y). Let $$E_N (f) = \mathop {\inf }\limits_{P_N } \left\| {f - P_N } \right\|$$ denote the best approximation of f ?? L ₂ by algebraic polynomials of the form $$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {P_N (x,y) = \sum\limits_{0 < n,m < N} {a_{m,n} x^n y^m ,} } \\ {P_1 (x,y) = const.} \\ \end{array}$$ . Consider a double Fourier series of f ?? L ₂ in the polynomials P _n (x)Q _m (y), n, m = 0, 1, ..., and its ??hyperbolic?? partial sums $$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {S_1 (f;x,y) = c_{0,0} (f)P_o (x)Q_o (y),} \\ {S_N (f;x,y) = \sum\limits_{0 < n,m < N} {c_{n,m} (f)P_n (x)Q_m (y), N = 2,3, \ldots .} } \\ \end{array}$$ A generalized shift operator Fh and a kth-order generalized modulus of continuity ?? _k (A, h) of a function f ?? L ₂ are used to prove the following sharp estimate for the convergence rate of the approximation: $\begin{gathered} E_N (f) \leqslant (1 - (1 - h)^{2\sqrt N } )^{ - k} \Omega _k (f;h),h \in (0,1), \hfill \\ N = 4,5,...;k = 1,2,... \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $ . Moreover, for every fixed N = 4, 9, 16, ..., the constant on the right-hand side of this inequality is cannot be reduced.     

On the class of limits of lacunary trigonometric series

Let (n _k ) _k≧1 be a lacunary sequence of positive integers, i.e. a sequence satisfying n _k+1/n _k > q > 1, k ≧ 1, and let f be a “nice” 1-periodic function with ∝ ₀ ¹ f(x) dx = 0. Then the probabilistic behavior of the system (f(n _k x)) _k≧1 is very similar to the behavior of sequences of i.i.d. random variables. For example, Erd?s and Gál proved in 1955 the following law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) for f(x) = cos 2πx and lacunary $ (n_k )_{k \geqq 1} $ : (1) $$ \mathop {\lim \sup }\limits_{N \to \infty } (2N\log \log N)^{1/2} \sum\limits_{k = 1}^N {f(n_k x)} = \left\| f \right\|_2 $$ for almost all x ∈ (0, 1), where ‖f‖₂ = (∝ ₀ ¹ f(x)² dx)^1/2 is the standard deviation of the random variables f(n _k x). If (n _k ) _k≧1 has certain number-theoretic properties (e.g. n _k+1/n _k → ∞), a similar LIL holds for a large class of functions f, and the constant on the right-hand side is always ‖f‖₂. For general lacunary (n _k ) _k≧1 this is not necessarily true: Erd?s and Fortet constructed an example of a trigonometric polynomial f and a lacunary sequence (n _k ) _k≧1, such that the lim sup in the LIL (1) is not equal to ‖f‖₂ and not even a constant a.e. In this paper we show that the class of possible functions on the right-hand side of (1) can be very large: we give an example of a trigonometric polynomial f such that for any function g(x) with sufficiently small Fourier coefficients there exists a lacunary sequence (n _k ) _k≧1 such that (1) holds with √‖f‖ ₂ ² + g(x) instead of ‖f‖₂ on the right-hand side.     

Spaces of measurable functions

For a metrizable space X and a finite measure space (Ω, $\mathfrak{M}$ , µ), the space M _µ(X) of all equivalence classes (under the relation of equality almost everywhere mod µ) of $\mathfrak{M}$ -measurable functions from Ω to X, whose images are separable, equipped with the topology of convergence in measure, and some of its subspaces are studied. In particular, it is shown that M _µ(X) is homeomorphic to a Hilbert space provided µ is (nonzero) nonatomic and X is completely metrizable and has more than one point.     

On the uniform complete convergence of estimates for multivariate density functions and regression curves

Let (X ₁,Y ₁),...(X _n ,Y _n ) be a random sample from the (k+1)-dimensional multivariate density functionf ^*(x,y). Estimates of thek-dimensional density functionf(x)=∫f ^*(x,y)dy of the form $$\hat f_n (x) = \frac{1}{{nb_1 (n) \cdots b_k (n)}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n W \left( {\frac{{x_1 - X_{i1} }}{{b_1 (n)}}, \cdots ,\frac{{x_k - X_{ik} }}{{b_k (n)}}} \right)$$ are considered whereW(x) is a bounded, nonnegative weight function andb ₁ (n),...,b _k (n) and bandwidth sequences depending on the sample size and tending to 0 asn→∞. For the regression function $$m(x) = E(Y|X = x) = \frac{{h(x)}}{{f(x)}}$$ whereh(x)=∫y(f) ^* (x, y)dy , estimates of the form $$\hat h_n (x) = \frac{1}{{nb_1 (n) \cdots b_k (n)}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {Y_i W} \left( {\frac{{x_1 - X_{i1} }}{{b_1 (n)}}, \cdots ,\frac{{x_k - X_{ik} }}{{b_k (n)}}} \right)$$ are considered. In particular, unform consistency of the estimates is obtained by showing that \(||\hat f_n (x) - f(x)||_\infty \) and \(||\hat m_n (x) - m(x)||_\infty \) converge completely to zero for a large class of “good” weight functions and under mild conditions on the bandwidth sequencesb _k (n)'s.     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic distribution of the largest entry of a sample correlation matrix

Let {X _k,i ; i ≥ 1, k ≥ 1} be a double array of nondegenerate i.i.d. random variables and let {p _n ; n ≥ 1} be a sequence of positive integers such that n/p _n is bounded away from 0 and ∞. In this paper we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic distribution of the largest entry ${L_{n}={\rm max}_{1\leq i < j\leq p_{n}}|\hat{\rho}^{(n)}_{i,j}|}$ of the sample correlation matrix ${{\bf {\Gamma}}_{n}=(\hat{\rho}_{i,j}^{(n)})_{1\leq i,j\leq p_{n}}}$ where ${\hat{\rho}^{(n)}_{i,j}}$ denotes the Pearson correlation coefficient between (X _1,i , ..., X _n,i )′ and (X _1,j ,...,X _n,j )′. Write ${F(x)= \mathbb{P}(|X_{1,1}|\leq x), x\geq0}$ , ${W_{c,n}={\rm max}_{1\leq i < j\leq p_{n}}|\sum_{k=1}^{n}(X_{k,i}-c)(X_{k,j}-c)|}$ , and ${W_{n}=W_{0,n},n\geq1,c\in(-\infty,\infty)}$ . Under the assumption that ${\mathbb{E}|X_{1,1}|^{2+\delta} < \infty}$ for some δ > 0, we show that the following six statements are equivalent: $$ {\bf (i)} \quad \lim_{n \to \infty} n^{2}\int\limits_{(n \log n)^{1/4}}^{\infty}\left( F^{n-1}(x) - F^{n-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{n \log n}}{x}\right) \right) dF(x) = 0,$$ $$ {\bf (ii)}\quad n \mathbb{P}\left ( \max_{1 \leq i < j \leq n}|X_{1,i}X_{1,j} | \geq \sqrt{n \log n}\right ) \to 0 \quad{\rm as}\,n \to \infty,$$ $$ {\bf (iii)}\quad \frac{W_{\mu, n}}{\sqrt {n \log n}}\stackrel{\mathbb{P}}{\rightarrow} 2\sigma^{2},$$ $$ {\bf (iv)}\quad \left ( \frac{n}{\log n}\right )^{1/2} L_{n} \stackrel{\mathbb{P}}{\rightarrow} 2,$$ $$ {\bf (v)}\quad \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\mathbb{P}\left (\frac{W_{\mu, n}^{2}}{n \sigma^{4}} - a_{n}\leq t \right ) = \exp \left \{ - \frac{1}{\sqrt{8\pi}} e^{-t/2}\right \}, - \infty < t < \infty,$$ $$ {\bf (vi)}\quad \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\mathbb{P}\left (n L_{n}^{2} - a_{n}\leq t \right ) = \exp \left \{ - \frac{1}{\sqrt{8 \pi}} e^{-t/2}\right \}, - \infty < t < \infty$$ where ${\mu=\mathbb{E}X_{1,1}, \sigma^{2}=\mathbb{E}(X_{1,1} - \mu)^{2}}$ , and a _n  = 4 log p _n ? log log p _n . The equivalences between (i), (ii), (iii), and (v) assume that only ${\mathbb{E}X_{1,1}^{2} < \infty}$ . Weak laws of large numbers for W _n and L _n , n ≥  1, are also established and these are of the form ${W_{n}/n^{\alpha}\stackrel{\mathbb{P}}{\rightarrow} 0}\,(\alpha > 1/2)$ and ${n^{1-\alpha}L_{n}\stackrel{\mathbb{P}}{\rightarrow} 0}\,(1/2 < \alpha \leq 1)$ , respectively. The current work thus provides weak limit analogues of the strong limit theorems of Li and Rosalsky as well as a necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic distribution of L _n obtained by Jiang. Some open problems are also posed.
