LAW OF THE ITERATED LOGARITHM FOR SUBSEQUENCES

Allan Gut

Abstract: Let (S ) oo n n=1 denote the partial sums of i.i.d. random variables with mean 0. The present paper investigates the quantity

lim supS / V~ n--loglogn-, k-->o o nk k k
where (n ) oo k k=1 is a strictly increasing subsequence of the positive integers. The first results are that if EX2 < oo , 1 then the limit superior equals s V~ 2 a.s. for subsequences which increase ”at most geometrically”, and se*, where
e* = inf(e > 0; sum (log n )- e2/2 < oo ), k k
for subsequences which increase ”at least geometrically”. We also perform a refined analysis for the latter case and finally present criteria for the finiteness of

V~ ----------2 E sukp(Snk/ nk log lognk)
in both cases.
