The Sufficient and Necessary Conditions of the Strong Law of Large Numbers under Sub-linear Expectations

In this paper, by establishing a Borel–Cantelli lemma for a capacity which is not necessarily continuous, and a link between a sequence of independent random variables under the sub-linear expectation and a sequence of independent random variables on R^(∞) under a probability, we give the sufficient and necessary conditions of the strong law of large numbers for independent and identically distributed random variables under the sub-linear expectation, and the sufficient and necessary conditions for the convergence of an infinite series of independent random variables, without the assumption on the continuity of the capacities. A purely probabilistic proof of a weak law of large numbers is also given.

We consider a sequence of independent and identically distributed(i.i.d.)random variables{ξ_(k)}under a sublinear expectation E=sup_(P∈Θ).We first give a new proof to the fact that,under each P∈Θ,any cluster point of the empirical averages.Next,we consider sublinear expectations on a Polish space,and show that for each constantμ∈[μ,μ^(-)],there exists a probability P_(μ)∈Θsuch thatlim_(n→∞)ξ_(n)=μ,P_(μ-a.s.,(0.1))supposing thatΘis weakly compact and.Under the same conditions,we obtain a generalization of(0.1)in the product space with replaced by.Here is a Borel measurable function on,.Finally,we characterize the triviality of the tail-algebra of the i.i.d.random variables under a sublinear expectation.

A Remark on Strong Law of Large Numbers for Weighted U-Statistics

Let （X, Xn; n≥ 1} be a sequence of i.i.d, random variables with values in a measurable space （S,8） such that E｜h（X1, X2,..., Xm）｜ 〈 ∞, where h is a measurable symmetric function from Sm into R = （-∞, ∞）. Let {wn,i1,i2 im ; 1 ≤ i1 〈 i2 〈 …… 〈im 〈 n, n ≥ m} be a matrix array of real numbers. Motivated by a result of Choi and Sung （1987）, in this note we are concerned with establishing a strong law of large numbers for weighted U-statistics with kernel h of degree m. We show that whenever SUP n≥m max1〈i1〈i2〈…〈im≤｜wn i1,i2 i,im｜ 〈∞, where 0 = Eh（X1, X2,..., Xm）. The proof of this result is based on a new general result on complete convergence, which is a fundamental tool, for array of real-valued random variables under some mild conditions.
