  • For arbitrary random variables {$X_{n},n{\geq}1$}, the order of growth of the series. $S_{n}\;=\;{\sum}_{j=1}^n\;X_{j}$ is studied in this paper. More specifically, when the series S_{n}$ diverges almost surely, the strong law of large numbers $S_{n}/g_{n}^{-1}$($A_{n}{\psi}(A_{n}))\;{\rightarrow}\;0$ a.s. is constructed by extending the results of Petrov (1973). On the other hand, if the series $S_{n}$ converges almost surely to a random variable S, then the tail series $T_{n}\;=\;S\;-\;S_{n-1}\;=\;{\sum}_{j=n}^{\infty}\;X_{j}$ is a well-defined sequence of random variables and converges to 0 almost surely. For the almost surely convergent series $S_{n}$, a tail series strong law of large numbers $T_{n}/g_{n}^{-1}(B_{n}{\psi}^{\ast}(B_{n}^{-1}))\;{\rightarrow}\;0$ a.s., which generalizes the result of Klesov (1984), is also established by investigating the duality between the limiting behavior of partial sums and that of tail series. In particular, an example is provided showing that the current work can prevail despite the fact that previous tail series strong law of large numbers does not work.

  • Let {X, $X_{n}, n\;{\geq}\;1$} be a sequence of identically distributed, negatively associated (NA) random variables and assume that $│X│^{r}$, r > 0, has a finite moment generating function. A strong law of large numbers is established for weighted sums of these variables.

  • Let $\{(X_{ni}|1{\leq}i{\leq}n,\;n{\geq}1)\}$ be an array of rowwise negatively associated random variables. In this paper we discuss $n^{{\alpha}p-2}h(n)max_{1{\leq}k{\leq}n}|{\sum}_{i=1}^kX_{ni}|/n^{\alpha}{\rightarrow}0$ completely as $n{\rightarrow}{\infty}$ under not necessarily identically distributed with suitable conditions for ${\alpha}$>1/2, 0${\alpha}p{\geq}1$ and a slowly varying function h(x)>0 as $x{\rightarrow}{\infty}$. In addition, we obtain the complete convergence of moving average process based on negative association random variables which extends the result of Zhang (1996).

  • Feller introduced an unfair-fair-game in his famous book [3]. In this game, at each trial, player will win 2k yuan with probability pk = 1/2kk(k + 1), k ∈ ℕ, and zero yuan with probability p0 = 1 - Σk=1 pk. Because the expected gain is 1, player must pay one yuan as the entrance fee for each trial. Although this game seemed "fair", Feller [2] proved that when the total trial number n is large enough, player will loss n yuan with its probability approximate 1. So it's an "unfair" game. In this paper, we study in depth its convergence in probability, almost sure convergence and convergence in distribution. Furthermore, we try to take 2k = m to reduce the values of random variables and their corresponding probabilities at the same time, thus a new probability model is introduced, which is called as the related model of Feller's unfair-fair-game. We find out that this new model follows a long-tailed distribution. We obtain its weak law of large numbers, strong law of large numbers and central limit theorem. These results show that their probability limit behaviours of these two models are quite different.

  • Let (X, $X_{n}$, n$\geq$1) be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables and { $a_{ni}$ , 1$\leq$i$\leq$n, n$\geq$1} be an array of constants. Let ø($\chi$) be a positive increasing function on (0, $\infty$) satisfying ø($\chi$) ↑ $\infty$ and ø(C$\chi$) = O(ø($\chi$)) for any C > 0. When EX = 0 and E[ø(|X|)]〈$\infty$, some conditions on ø and { $a_{ni}$ } are given under which (equation omitted).).

  • Let {$X_k;k{\in}N^d$} be centered and identically distributed random field which is asymptotically negative dependent in a certain case. In this note we prove that for $p{\alpha}$ > 1 and ${\alpha}$ > ${\frac{1}{2}}$ $E{\mid}X_1{\mid}^p(log^+{\mid}X_1{\mid}^{d-1})$ < ${\infty}$ if and only if ${\sum}_n{\mid}n{\mid}^{p{\alpha}-2}P$($max_{1{\leq}k{\leq}n{\mid}S_k{\mid}}$ > ${\epsilon}{\mid}n{\mid}$) < ${\infty}$ for all ${\epsilon}$ > 0, where log$^+$x = max{1,log x}.
