Abstract

Let (ξ k ,F k ) be a martingale difference sequence. The paper concerns the tail behavior of the quadratic formS n = ∑ n k=1 k−1 j=1 β k−j n χ k χ j , where β n asn→∞. The main conclusions aboutP}n −1 S n >x n }, wherex n →∞, asn→∞, are obtained using the tail behavior of a martingale with values in a certain Hilbert space.
