Limit infimum results for subsequences of partial sums and random sums of i.i.d. random variables (Q464473)

The paper provides some almost sure limit results for appropriately normed sums of independent random variables \(S_{n_k}\), where the summands of \(S\) are in the domain of attraction of an asymmetric stable law with exponent \(\alpha \not= 1\), and the subsequence \(n_k\) increases geometrically fast. The proof uses the Borel-Cantelli lemma and special bounds or expansions for the tails of \(S_{n_k}\), respectively.
