Abstract: The Marcinkiewicz Strong Law, $displaystyleli{m}_{noinfty}frac1n^{frac1p}su{m}_{k=1}^n(D_k-D)=0$ a.s. with $pin(1,2)$, is studied for outer products $D_k=X_{k}overline{X}_k^T$, where $X_k,overline{X}_k$ are both two-sided (multivariate) linear processes ( with coefficient matrices $(C_l),(overline{C}_l)$ and i.i.d. zero-mean innovations $Xi$, $overlineXi$). Matrix sequences $C_l$ and $overline{C}_l$ can decay slowly enough (as $|l|oinfty$) that $X_k,overline{X}_k$ have long-range dependence while $D_k$ can have heavy tails. In particular, the heavy-tail and long-range-dependence phenomena for $D_k$ are handled simultaneously and a new decoupling property is proved that shows the convergence rate is determined by the worst of the heavy-tails or the long-range dependence, but not the combination. The main result is applied to obtain Marcinkiewicz Strong Law of Large Numbers for stochastic approximation, non-linear functions forms and autocovariances.
