Complete convergence and Cesàro summation for i.i.d. random variables

SummaryVarious results generalizing summation methods for divergent series of real numbers to analogous results for independent, identically distributed random variables have appeared during the last two decades. The main result of this paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the complete convergence of the Cesàro means of i.i.d random variables.
