Abstract

Let ξ1, ξ2, ξ3,... be a sequence of independent random variables, such that μj{equals colon}E[ξj], 0<α≤Var[ξj] and E[|ξjj|2+δ] for some δ, 0<δ≤1, and every j≥1. If U and ξ0 are two random variables such that E[ξ02]<∞ and E[|U|ξ02]<∞, and the vector 〈U,ξ〉 is independent of the sequence {ξj:j≥1}, then under appropriate regularity conditions {Mathematical expression} where Sn{equals colon}ξ12+⋯+ξnj{equals colon}E[ξj], sn2{equals colon}Var[Sn], and cn=O(sn).
