1. Introduction and Main Results
Let be a doubly infinite sequence of identically distributed random variables with zero means and finite variances, and let be an absolutely summable sequence of real numbers. Let
be the moving average process based on . As usual, we denote , as the sequence of partial sums.
Under the assumption that is a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables, many limiting results have been obtained. Ibragimov [1] established the central limit theorem; Burton and Dehling [2] obtained a large deviation principle; Yang [3] established the central limit theorem and the law of the iterated logarithm; Li et al. [4] obtained the complete convergence result for . As we know, are dependent even if is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. Therefore, we introduce the definition of -mixing,
where . Many limiting results of moving average for -mixing have been obtained. For example, Zhang [5] got complete convergence.
Theorem A.
Suppose that is a sequence of identically distributed and -mixing random variables with , and is defined as (1.1). Let be a slowly varying function and , , then and imply
Li and Zhang [6] achieved precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm.
Theorem B.
Suppose that is a sequence of identically distributed and -mixing random variables with mean zeros and finite variances, , and , , for . Suppose that is defined as in (1.1), where is a sequence of real number with , then one has
where , is a standard normal random variable.
On the other hand, since Hsu and Robbins [7] introduced the concept of the complete convergence, there have been extensions in some directions. For the case of i.i.d. random variables, Davis [8] proved , for if and only if . Gut and Spătaru [9] gave the precise asymptotics of . We know that complete convergence can be derived from complete moment convergence. Liu and Lin [10] introduced a new kind of convergence of . In this note, we show that the precise asymptotics for the moment convergence hold for moving-average process when is a strictly stationary -mixing sequences. Now, we state the main results.
Theorem 1.1.
Suppose that is defined as in (1.1), where is a sequence of real number with , and is a sequence of identically distributed -mixing random variables with mean zeros and finite variances, and , , for , then one has
where .
Theorem 1.2.
Under the conditions in Theorem 1.1, one has
Remark 1.3.
In this paper, we generate the results of Liu and Lin [10] to linear process under dependence based on Theorem B by using the technique of dealing with the innovation process in Zhang [5].
We first proceed with some useful lemmas.
Lemma 1.4.
Let be defined as in (1.1), and let be a sequence of identically distributed -mixing random variables with , , , then
The proof is similar to Theorem 1 in [11]. Set . From Lemma 1.4, one can get as .
Lemma 1.5 (see [2]).
Let be an absolutely convergent series of real numbers with and , then
Lemma 1.6 (see [12]).
Let be a sequence of -mixing random variables with zero means and finite second moments. Let . If exists such that , then for all , there exists such that
2. Proofs
Proof of Theorem 1.1.
Without loss of generality, we assume that . We have
Set , where . By Theorem B, we need to show
By Proposition 5.1 in [10], we have
Hence, Theorem 1.1 will be proved if we show the following two propositions.
Proposition 2.1.
One has
Proof.
Write
where
Since implies , we have
For , by Markov's inequality, we get
From (2.7) and (2.8), we can get
Note that , where . By Lemma 1.5, we can assume that
Set . As , by (2.10), we have
So, when ,
By (2.12), we have
Set , then (referred by [4]). We can get
Then,
So, we get
Therefore,
By Lemma 1.6, noting that , for ,
For , we have
Then, for , , we have
For , we decompose it into two parts,
It is easy to see that
So,
Now, we estimate , by (2.23),
For , we have
From (2.24) and (2.25), we can get
Finally, , and we will get
then
Hence, (2.4) can be referred from (2.9), (2.17), (2.20), (2.26), and (2.28).
Proposition 2.2.
One has
Proof.
Consider the following:
We first estimate , for , by Markov's inequality,
Hence,
Now, we estimate . Here, , so
We have
We estimate first. Similar to the proof of (2.16), we have
then
By Lemma 1.6, for , we have
For , we have
Next, turning to , it follows that
then
For , it follows that
Finally, , we have
From (2.38) to (2.42), we can get
(2.29) can be derived by (2.32), (2.36), and (2.43).
Proof of Theorem 1.2.
Without loss of generality, we set . It is easy to see that
So, we only prove the following two propositions:
The proof of (2.45) can be referred to [6], and the proof of (2.46) is similar to Propositions 2.1 and 2.2.
