  • The rate of convergence to a random variable S for an almost certainly convergent series $S_n = \sum^n_{j=1} X_j$ of independent random variables is studied in this paper. More specifically, when $S_n$ converges to S almost certainly, the tail series $T_n = \sum^{\infty}_{j=n} X_j$ is a well-defined sequence of random variable with $T_n \to 0$ a.c. Various sets of conditions are provided so that for a given numerical sequence $0 < b_n = o(1)$, the tail series strong law of large numbers $b^{-1}_n T_n \to 0$ a.c. holds. Moreover, these results are specialized to the case of the weighted i.i.d. random varialbes. Finally, example are provided and an open problem is posed.

  • In the paper, some probability convergence properties of series for rowwise sums of negatively superadditive dependent (NSD) random variables are discussed. We establish some sharp results on these convergence for NSD random variables under some general settings, which generalize and improve the corresponding ones of some known literatures.

  • The rate of convergence for an almost surely convergent series $S_n={\Sigma^n}_{i-1}X_i$ of independent random variables is studied in this paper. More specifically, when S$_{n}$ converges almost surely to a random variable S, the tail series $T_n{\equiv}$ S - S_{n-1} = {\Sigma^\infty}_{i-n} X_i$ is a well-defined sequence of random variables with T$_{n}$ $\rightarrow$ 0 almost surely. Conditions are provided so that for a given positive sequence {$b_n, n {\geq$ 1}, the limit law sup$_{\kappa}\geqn | T_{\kappa}|/b_n \rightarrow$ 0 holds. This result generalizes a result of Nam and Rosalsky [4].

  • For the almost certainly convergent series $S_n$ of independent random variables the limiting behavior of tail series ${T_n}{\equiv}S-S_{n-1}$ is reviewed. More specifically, tail series strong laws of large number and tail series weak laws of large numbers will be introduced, and their relationship will be investigated. Then, the relationship will also be extended to the case of Banach space valued random elements, by investigating the duality between the limiting behavior of the tail series of random variables and that of random elements.

  • 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.

  • 본 연구에서는, 서로 독립인 확률변수들의 합 $S_n$이 수렴하는 경우에, 확률변수들의 Tail 합 $T_n=S-S_{n-1}=\sum_{i=n}^{\infty}X_i$의 극한 성질을 연구함으로써, $S_n$이 하나의 확률변수 S로 수렴하는 속도를 연구한다. 좀 더 구체적으로 말하자면, 유사-단조감소(Quasi-monotone decreasing)하는 상수(Norming constants)의 수열에 대하여, 확률변수들의 Tail 합에 대한 약대수법칙과 하나의 수렴법칙이 동등함을 정리로 기술하고 증명하여, 기존의 연구 결과를 더 넓은 부류의 상수들의 경우에 적용할 수 있도록 확장한다.

  • 본 연구에서는, Banach 공간의 값을 갖는 확률요소들의 합 $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^nV-i$ 수렴하는 경우에, Tail 합 $T_n=S-S_{n-1}=\sum_{i=n}^{\infty}V-i$에 대한 대수의 법칙을 고찰하여 $S_n$이 하나의 확률변수 S로 수렴하는 속도를 연구한다. 좀 더 구체적으로 말하자면, 확률변수들의 Tail 합과 확률요소들의 Tail 합에 대한 극한 성질의 유사성을 연구하여, Banach 공간에서 독립인 확률요소들의 Tail 합에 대한 약 대수의 법칙과 하나의 수렴법칙이 동등함을 기술하는 기존의 정리를 다른 대체적인 방법으로 증명한다.
