Limit Laws of the Iterated Logarithm Under Sub-linear Expectations
Abstract
Let {Yn; n≥ 1} be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with mean zero in Peng's framework of the sub-linear expectation space (Ω,ℋ,𝔼̂), and Sn=∑i=1nYi. In this paper, we establish a limit law of limn→ ∞maxk≤ nSk/(√(2k loglog n)). Different from the result obtained by Chen (2015) in which the limit is a constant, it is shown that under the upper capacity the limit may be prescribed as a given function of Y1,Y2,…, taking values in the standard deviation interval. As a result, it is also shown that the set of limit points in the compact law of the iterated logarithm can be a symmetric random interval. This paper (Chinese version) has been submitted to Special Issue of Science in China-Mathematics in Celebration of Professor Peng Shige's 80th Birthday. In Theorem 2.2 of the original paper, an additional condition (2.6) is needed.

AB - Let {Y_n; n≥ 1} be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with mean zero in Peng's framework of the sub-linear expectation space (Ω,ℋ,𝔼̂), and S_n=∑_i=1^nY_i. In this paper, we establish a limit law of lim_n→ ∞max_k≤ nS_k/(√(2k loglog n)). Different from the result obtained by Chen (2015) in which the limit is a constant, it is shown that under the upper capacity the limit may be prescribed as a given function of Y_1,Y_2,…, taking values in the standard deviation interval.
