Abstract: We prove that, for (adapted) stationary processes, the so-called Maxwell-Wood-roofe condition is sufficient for the law of the iterated logarithm and that it is optimal in some sense. We obtain a similar conclusion concerning the Marcinkiewicz-zygmund strong law of large numbers. Those results actually hold in the context of Banach valued stationary processes, including the case of Lr-valued random variables, with 1ler<infty. In this setting we also prove the weak invariance principle, under a version of the Maxwell-Woodroofe condition, generalizing a result of Peligrad and Utev cite{PU}. Our results extend to non-adapted processes as well, and, partly to stationary processes arising from dynamical systems. The proofs make use of a new maximal inequality and of approximation by martingales, for which some of our results are also new.


The author studies stationary processes with values in various Banach spaces and specially \(L^p\)-spaces with \(1\leq p< \infty\). He shows that the condition given by \textit{M. Maxwell} and \textit{M. Woodroofe} [Ann. Probab. 28, No. 2, 713--724 (2000; Zbl 1044.60014)] is sufficient for the law of the iterated logarithm and optimal in some sense. The almost sure invariance principle and the weak invariance principle are obtained for large classes of Banach spaces. The tools in the proofs are maximal inequalities and martingale approximation. Several examples are given including the case of empirical processes.
