Abstract

Let X,X 1 ,X 2 , . . . be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables satisfying E[X] = 0, E[X 2] = σ 2 > 0, and E[|X| q] < ∞ for some q ∈ (2, 3]. Let S n  = ∑ n k = 1 X k , n ⩾ 1. We prove that \( \underset{\mathit{\in}\searrow 0}{ \lim}\left({\displaystyle \sum_{n=3}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n \log n}\mathrm{P}\left(\left|{S}_n\right|\geqslant \mathit{\in}\sqrt{n \log \log n}\right)-{\sigma}^2{\mathit{\in}}^{-2}}\right)=\upzeta -\upgamma, \) where \( \upzeta =\underset{n\to \infty }{ \lim}\left({\displaystyle \sum_{j=3}^n\frac{1}{j \log j} \log \log n}\right)\mathrm{and}\ \upgamma ={\displaystyle \sum_{n=3}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n \log n}\mathrm{P}\left({S}_n=0\right).} \)
