1 Introduction
Let \(\{Y_{i}, -\infty< i<\infty\}\) be a doubly infinite sequence of random variables with zero means and finite variances and \(\{a_{i}, -\infty < i<\infty\}\) an absolutely summable sequence of real numbers. Define a moving average process \(\{X_{n}, n\geq1\}\) by
$$ X_{n}=\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty}a_{i} Y_{i+n},\quad n\geq1. $$
(1.1)
The concept of complete moment convergence is as follows: Let \(\{Y_{n}, n\geq1\}\) be a sequence of random variables and \(a_{n}>0\), \(b_{n}>0\). If \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n} E\{b_{n}^{-1}|Y_{n}|-\epsilon\}^{+}<\infty\) for all \(\epsilon>0\), then we call that \(\{Y_{n}, n\geq1\}\) satisfies the complete moment convergence. It is well known that the complete moment convergence can imply the complete convergence.

Chow [1] first showed the following complete moment convergence for a sequence of i.i.d. random variables by generalizing the result of Baum and Katz [2].
Theorem 1.1
Suppose that
\(\{Y_{n}, n\geq1\}\)
is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with
\(EY_{1}=0\). For
\(1\leq p<2\)
and
\(r>p\), if
\(E\{|Y_{1}|^{r}+|Y_{1}|\log(1+|Y_{1}|)\}<\infty\), then
\(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}n^{\frac{r}{p}-2-\frac{1}{p}}E(|\sum_{i=1}^{n} Y_{i}|-\epsilon n^{\frac{1}{p}})^{+}<\infty\)
for any
\(\epsilon>0\).
Recently, under dependence assumptions many authors studied extensively the complete moment convergence of a moving average process; see for example, Li and Zhang [3] for NA random variables, Zhou [4] for φ-mixing random variables, and Zhou and Lin [5] for ρ-mixing random variables.
We recall that a sequence \(\{Y_{n}, n\geq1\}\) of random variables satisfies a weak mean dominating condition with a mean dominating random variable Y if there is some positive constant C such that for all \(x>0\) and all \(n\geq1\) (see Kuczmaszewska [6]).
$$ \frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=1}^{n} P\bigl(|Y_{k}|>x\bigr)\leq CP\bigl(|Y|>x\bigr) $$

One of the most interesting inequalities in probability theory and mathematical statistics is the Rosenthal-type maximal inequality. For a sequence \(\{Y_{i}, 1\leq i \leq n\}\) of i.i.d. random variables with \(E|Y_{1}|^{q}<\infty\) for \(q\geq2\) there exists a positive constant \(C_{q}\) depending only on q such that The above inequality has been obtained for dependent random variables by many authors. See, for example, Peligrad [7] for a strong stationary ρ-mixing sequence, Peligrad and Gut [8] for a \(\rho^{*}\)-mixing sequence, Stoica [9] for a martingale difference sequence, and so forth.
$$ E\Biggl(\max_{1\leq j \leq n}\Biggl|\sum_{i=1}^{j} (Y_{i}-EY_{i})\Biggr|\Biggr)^{q}\leq C_{q} \Biggl\{ \sum_{i=1}^{n} E|Y_{i}|^{q}+ \Biggl(\sum_{i=1}^{n} EY_{i}^{2} \Biggr)^{q/2}\Biggr\} . $$
(1.3)
In this paper we will establish the complete moment convergence for a moving average process generated by the class of random variables satisfying a Rosenthal-type maximal inequality and a weak mean dominating condition.
2 Some lemmas
The following lemmas will be useful to prove the main results.
Recall that a real valued function h, positive and measurable on \([0, \infty)\), is said to be slowly varying at infinity if for each \(\lambda>0\)
$$\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{h(\lambda x)}{h(x)}=1. $$
Lemma 2.1
(Zhou [4])
If
h
is a slowly varying function at infinity and
m
a positive integer, then
(1)
\(\sum_{n=1}^{m} n^{t} h(n)\leq C m^{t+1} h(m)\)
for
\(t>-1\),
(2)
\(\sum_{n=m}^{\infty}n^{t} h(n)\leq C m^{t+1} h(m)\)
for
\(t<-1\).
Lemma 2.2
(Gut [10])
Let
\(\{X_{n}, n\geq1\}\)
be a sequence of random variables satisfying a weak dominating condition with a mean dominating random variable
X, i.e., there exists some positive constant
C
Let
\(r>0\)
and for some
\(A>0\)
and
Then for some
\(C>0\)
$$\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} P\bigl(|X_{i}|>x\bigr)\leq C P\bigl(|X|>x\bigr) \quad\textit{for all } x>0 \textit{ and all }n \geq1. $$
$$\begin{aligned}& X_{i}^{\prime}=X_{i} I\bigl(|X_{i}|\leq A\bigr),\qquad X_{i}^{\prime\prime}=X_{i} I\bigl(|X_{i}|>A\bigr),\\& X_{i}^{*}=X_{i} I\bigl(|X_{i}|\leq A\bigr)-AI(X_{i}< -A)+AI(X_{i}>A), \end{aligned}$$
$$\begin{aligned}& X^{\prime}=X I\bigl(|X|\leq A\bigr),\qquad X^{\prime\prime}=X I\bigl(|X|>A\bigr),\\& X^{*}=X I\bigl(|X|\leq A\bigr)-AI(X< -A)+AI(X>A) . \end{aligned}$$
(1)
if
\(E|X|^{r}<\infty\), then
\((n^{-1})\sum_{i=1}^{n} E|X_{i}|^{r}\leq CE|X|^{r}\),
(2)
\((n^{-1})\sum_{i=1}^{n} E|X_{i}^{\prime}|^{r}\leq C(E|X^{\prime}|^{r}+A^{r} P(|X|>A))\)
for any
\(A>0\),
(3)
\((n^{-1})\sum_{i=1}^{n} E|X_{i}^{\prime\prime}|^{r}\leq CE|X^{\prime\prime}|^{r}\)
for any
\(A>0\),
(4)
\((n^{-1})\sum_{i=1}^{n} E|X_{i}^{*}|^{r}\leq CE|X^{*}|^{r}\)
for any
\(A>0\).
3 Main result
Theorem 3.1
Let
h
be a function slowly varying at infinity, \(p\geq1\), \(\alpha>\frac{1}{2}\)
and
\(\alpha p>1\). Assume that
\(\{a_{i}, -\infty< i<\infty\}\)
is an absolutely summable sequence of real numbers and that
\(\{Y_{i}, -\infty< i<\infty\}\)
is a sequence of mean zero random variables satisfying a weak mean dominating condition with a mean dominating random variable
Y, i.e. there exists some positive constant
C
and all
\(n\geq1\)
and
\(E|Y|^{p} h(|Y|^{\frac{1}{\alpha}})<\infty\).
$$\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=j+1}^{j+n} P\bigl(|Y_{i}|>x\bigr)\leq C P\bigl(|Y|>x\bigr) \quad\textit{for all } x>0, -\infty< j< \infty $$
Suppose that \(\{X_{n}, n\geq1\}\) is a moving average process, where \(X_{n}=\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty}a_{i} Y_{i+n}\), \(n\geq1\) is defined as (1.1).
Assume that for any \(q\geq2\), there exists a positive \(C_{q}\) depending only on q such that where \(Y_{xj}=-xI(Y_{j}<-x)+Y_{j}I(|Y_{j}|\leq x)+xI(Y_{j}>x)\) for all \(x>0\).
$$ E\Biggl(\max_{1\leq i \leq n}\Biggl|\sum_{j=1}^{i} (Y_{xj}-EY_{xj})\Biggr|^{q}\Biggr)\leq C_{q} \Biggl\{ \sum_{j=1}^{n} E|Y_{xj}|^{q}+ \Biggl(\sum_{j=1}^{n} EY_{xj}^{2} \Biggr)^{q/2}\Biggr\} , $$
(3.1)
Then for all \(\epsilon>0\)
and
$$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}n^{\alpha p-2-\alpha}h(n)E\Biggl\{ \max_{1\leq i\leq n}\Biggl|\sum_{j=1}^{i} X_{j}\Biggr|-\epsilon n^{\alpha}\Biggr\} ^{+}< \infty $$
(3.2)
$$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}n^{\alpha p-2}h(n)E\Biggl\{ \sup_{i\geq n}\Biggl|i^{-\alpha}\sum_{j=1}^{i} X_{j}\Biggr|-\epsilon\Biggr\} ^{+}< \infty. $$
(3.3)
Proof of (3.2)
Let \(\tilde{Y_{xj}}=Y_{j}-Y_{xj}\) and \(l(n)=n^{\alpha p-2-\alpha}h(n)\).
Recall that \(\sum_{k=1}^{n} X_{k}=\sum_{k=1}^{n} \sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty}a_{i} Y_{i+k}=\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty}a_{i} \sum_{j=i+1}^{i+n}Y_{j}\) by (1.1).
If \(\alpha>1\), by the assumption that \(\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty}|a_{i}|<\infty\) and Lemma 2.2 we have, for \(x>n^{\alpha}\), If \(\frac{1}{2}<\alpha\leq1\), \(\alpha p>1\) implies \(p>1\). By the assumption \(EY_{i}=0\) for all \(-\infty< i<\infty\) and Lemma 2.2 we obtain It follows from (3.4i) and (3.4ii) that for \(x>n^{\alpha}\) large enough, which yields Now we will by an estimate show that \(I_{1}<\infty\). It is clear that \(|\tilde{Y_{xj}}|\leq|Y_{j}|I[|Y_{j}|>x]\). Hence for \(I_{1}\), by Markov’s inequality and Lemma 2.2, we have If \(p>1\), note that \(\alpha p-1-\alpha>-1\). By Lemma 2.1 and (3.7) we obtain If \(p=1\), by (3.7), we also obtain So, by (3.8) and (3.9) we get For \(I_{2}\), by Markov’s inequality, Hölder’s inequality, and (3.1) we get for any \(q\geq2\)
For \(I_{21}\), we consider the following two cases.
$$\begin{aligned} x^{-1}\Biggl|E\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty}a_{i} \sum_{j=i+1}^{i+n} Y_{xj}\Biggr| &\leq Cx^{-1} n\bigl\{ E|Y|I\bigl[|Y|\leq x\bigr]+xP\bigl(|Y|>x\bigr)\bigr\} \\ &\leq C n^{1-\alpha}\rightarrow0 \quad\mbox{as }n\rightarrow\infty. \end{aligned}$$

$$\begin{aligned} x^{-1}\Biggl|E\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty}a_{i} \sum_{j=i+1}^{i+n} Y_{xj}\Biggr|&=x^{-1}\Biggl|E\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty}a_{i}\sum_{j=i+1}^{i+n}\tilde{ Y_{xj}}\Biggr| \\ &\leq Cx^{-1}\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty}|a_{i}| \sum_{j=i+1}^{i+n}E|Y_{j}|I\bigl[|Y_{j}|>x\bigr] \\ &\leq Cx^{-1} n E|Y|I\bigl[|Y|>x\bigr]\leq Cx^{\frac{1}{\alpha}-1}E|Y|I\bigl[|Y|>x\bigr] \\ &\leq CE|Y|^{p}I\bigl[|Y|>x\bigr]\rightarrow0\quad \mbox{as }x\rightarrow\infty. \end{aligned}$$

Proof of (3.3)
By Lemma 2.1 and (3.2), we have where \(\epsilon^{\prime}=\epsilon2^{-\alpha}\). Hence the proof of (3.3) is completed. □

Remark
There are many sequences of dependent random variables satisfying (3.1) for all \(q\geq2\).
Examples include sequences of NA random variables (see Shao [11]), \(\rho^{*}\)-mixing random variables (see Utev and Peligrad [12]), φ-mixing random variables (see Zhou [4]), and ρ-mixing random variables (see Zhou and Lin [5]).
Corollary 3.2
Under the assumptions of Theorem
3.1
for any
\(\epsilon>0\)
$$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}n^{\alpha p-2}h(n) P \Biggl(\max_{1\leq i \leq n}\Biggl|\sum_{j=1}^{i} X_{j}\Biggr|>\epsilon n^{\alpha}\Biggr)< \infty. $$
