Abstract

We use the theory of large deviations on function spaces to extend Erdös and Rényi's law of large numbers. In particular, we show that with probability 1, the double-indexed set of paths {WN, n} defined by {Mathematical expression} where {Mathematical expression}, {Xi:i≧1} is an iid sequence of random variables, and h(N)=[clog N] is relatively compact; the limit set is given by the set [x:I*(x)≦1/c] where I*(x) = ∫01I(x′(t))dt and I is Cramér's rate function. © 1994 Springer-Verlag.
