Abstract

Let {$X_i$, $i{\geq}1$} be a sequence of i.i.d. nondegenerate random variables which is in the domain of attraction of the normal law with mean zero and possibly infinite variance. Denote $S_n={\sum}_{i=1}^n\;X_i$, $M_n=max_{1{\leq}i{\leq}n}\;{\mid}S_i{\mid}$ and $V_n^2={\sum}_{i=1}^n\;X_i^2$. Then for d > -1, we showed that under some regularity conditions, $$\lim_{{\varepsilon}{\searrow}0}{\varepsilon}^2^{d+1}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(loglogn)^d}{nlogn}I\{M_n/V_n{\geq}\sqrt{2loglogn}({\varepsilon}+{\alpha}_n)\}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}(1+d)}{\Gamma}(d+3/2)\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^k}{(2k+1)^{2d+2}}\;a.s.$$ holds in this paper, where If g denotes the indicator function.
