The main result asserts that $S_n/M_n\\overset P\\to\\rightarrow 1$, where $$M_n=\\sup\\Big\\{x\\colon\\ \\sum^n_{j=1}a_jEY_1I(a_jY_1\\leq x)\\geq x\\Big\\},\\quad n\\geq 1,$$\n\n thereby generalizing a result of A. Adler and the reviewer [Bull. Inst. Math. Acad. Sinica 17 (1989), no. 3, 211–227; MR1042179] obtained for the particular choice $a_n=n^\\alpha$, $n\\geq 1$, where $\\alpha>-1$. This problem has the following interesting interpretation. Suppose a player wins $a_nY_n$ dollars during the $n$th game in a sequence of generalized Petersburg games. If $M_n=\\sum^n_{j=1}m_j$ represents the accumulated entrance fees for playing the first $n$ games, then $S_n/M_n\\overset P\\to\\rightarrow 1$ is the assertation that $\\{m_n,\\ n\\geq 1\\}$ is a "fair solution in the weak sense to the games``. | 關聯: | Chinese Journal of Mathematics,21(1),21-31 AMS MathSciNet:MR1209488 |
