ON THE RATE OF COMPLETE CONVERGENCE FOR WEIGHTED SUMS OF ARRAYS OF RANDOM ELEMENTS

Let {$V_{nk},\;k\;{\geq}\;1,\;{\geq}\;1$} be an array of rowwise independent random elements which are stochastically dominated by a random variable X with $E\|X\|^{\frac{\alpha}{\gamma}+{\theta}}log^{\rho}(\|X\|)\;<\;{\infty}$ for some ${\rho}\;>\;0,\;{\alpha}\;>\;0,\;{\gamma}\;>\;0,\;{\theta}\;>\;0$ such that ${\theta}+{\alpha}/{\gamma}<2$. Let {$a_{nk},k{\geq}1,n{\geq}1$) be an array of suitable constants. A complete convergence result is obtained for the weighted sums of the form $\sum{^\infty_k_=_1}\;a_{nk}V_{nk}$.
