As an application, we obtain the Marcinkiewicz's strong law of large numbers for independent and identically distributed random variables under the sub-linear expectations. The technical details are different from those for classical theorems because the sub-linear expectation and its related capacity are not additive.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-22T02:10:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F15" ], "keywords": [ "sub-linear expectation", "independent random variables", "series theorem", "identically distributed random variables", "application" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
