Strong laws of large numbers for arrays of random variables and stable random fields

Abstract

Strong laws of large numbers are established for random fields with weak or strong dependence. These limit theorems are applicable to random fields with heavy-tailed distributions including fractional stable random fields. The conditions for SLLN are described in terms of the $p$-th moments of the partial sums of the random fields, which are convenient to verify. The main technical tool in this paper is a maximal inequality for the moments of partial sums of random fields that extends the technique of Levental, Chobanyan and Salehi \cite{chobanyan-l-s} for a sequence of random variables indexed by a one-parameter.
