Abstract

Abstract We prove Strassen’s law of the iterated logarithm for sums \({\sum^{N}_{k=1} f(n_kx),}\) where f is a smooth periodic function on the real line and \({(n_k)_{k \geqq 1}}\) is an increasing random sequence. Our results show that classical results of the theory of lacunary series remain valid for sequences with random gaps, even in the nonharmonic case and if the Hadamard gap condition fails.
