Abstract

The well-known characterization indicated in the title involves the moving maximal dyadic averages of the sequence (X k : k = 1, 2, …) of random variables in Probability Theory. In the present paper, we offer another characterization of the SLLN which does not require to form any maximum. Instead, it involves only a specially selected sequence of moving averages. The results are also extended for random fields (X k: k, ℓ = 1, 2, …).
