Abstract

Let Xn , n 1be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables with
a common distribution function F and let
n
n j
j = 1
S =X , n  1. When F belongs to the domain
of attraction of a stable law with index , 0 <  < 2, Chover's form of the law of the iterated
logarithm has been obtained for delayed random sums.
