Komlós' theorem


Probabilistic version

Let (\Omega,\mathcal,P) be a
probability space In probability theory, a probability space or a probability triple (\Omega, \mathcal, P) is a mathematical construct that provides a formal model of a random process or "experiment". For example, one can define a probability space which models ...
and \xi_1,\xi_2,\dots be a sequence of real-valued random variables defined on this space with \sup\limits_\mathbb almost surely In probability theory, an event is said to happen almost surely (sometimes abbreviated as a.s.) if it happens with probability 1 (with respect to the probability measure). In other words, the set of outcomes on which the event does not occur ha ...
.


Analytic version

Let (E,\mathcal,\mu) be a finite measure space and f_1,f_2,\dots be a sequence of real-valued functions in L^1(\mu) and \sup\limits_n \int_E , f_n, \mathrm\mu<\infty. Then there exists a function \upsilon \in L^1(\mu) and a subsequence (g_k)=(f_) such that for every arbitrary subsequence (\tilde_n)=(g_) if n\to \infty then :\frac{n}\to \upsilon \mu-
almost everywhere In measure theory (a branch of mathematical analysis), a property holds almost everywhere if, in a technical sense, the set for which the property holds takes up nearly all possibilities. The notion of "almost everywhere" is a companion notion to ...
.


Explanations

So the theorem says, that the sequence (\eta_k) and all its subsequences converge in Césaro.
