A sequence of random variables is said to be extended negatively dependent (END) if the tails of its finite-dimensional distributions in the lower-left and upper-right corners are dominated by a multiple of the tails of the corresponding finite-dimensional distributions of a sequence of independent random variables with the same marginal distributions. The goal of this paper is to establish the strong law of large numbers for a sequence of END and identically distributed random variables. In doing so we derive some new inequalities of large deviation type for the sums of END and identically distributed random variables being suitably truncated. We also show applications of our main result to risk theory and renewal theory.

Abstract In this paper we treat a pure death process coming down from infinity as a natural generalization of the death process associated with the Kingman coalescent. We establish a number of limit theorems including a strong law of large numbers and a large deviation theorem.

In this article, we research some conditions for strong law of large numbers (SLLNs) for weighted sums of extended negatively dependent (END) random variables under sublinear expectation space. Our consequences contain the Kolmogorov strong law of large numbers and the Marcinkiewicz strong law of large numbers for weighted sums of extended negatively dependent random variables. Furthermore, our results extend strong law of large numbers for some sequences of random variables from the traditional probability space to the sublinear expectation space context.
