Applying this inequality we obtain the almost sure convergence of n 1Xi bi and Sn 1Xi bn. Copyright 2008 Soo Hak Sung.

Introduction Throughout this paper let Xn n 1 be a sequence of random variables defined on a probability space Q F P and let bn n 1 be a sequence of positive numbers. We assume that there exists a sequence pn n 1 of nonnegative constants such that supE XkXk n pn for n 1. k 1 In this paper we establish a maximal inequality for weighted sums of the dependent random variables satisfying . Applying this inequality we obtain under some suitable conditions on the sequence pn that n X converges . as n t TO bi i 1 L and the strong law of large numbers SLLN n 1Xi -t 0 . bn Note that if 0 bn T TO then implies by the Kronecker lemma. 2 Journal of Inequalities and Applications For a sequence of dependent random variables satisfying the SLLNs were established by Hu et al. 1 2 and Lyons 3 . Lyons 3 obtained an SLLN under the conditions that Var Xn 0 1 and bn n. Without condition Var Xn 0 1 Hu et al. 1 obtained an SLLN where bn n. Hu et al. 2 also obtained .
