On a general approach to the strong laws of large numbers. (English) Zbl 1322.60021

Summary: A general method to obtain strong laws of large numbers is studied. The method is based on abstract Hájek-Rényi type maximal inequalities. The rate of convergence in the law of large numbers is also considered. Some applications for weakly dependent sequences are given.
