Proof.
We will prove that for each
there exists an
index
such that
|
(15) |
Fix
arbitrarily. Furthermore fix a sequence
of
numbers (
) to be chosen later.
Let
and
. Then
Thus, we have that
. Now
define
. Since
,
. Consequently, if
, then
holds for all , as well. From
now on, we will assume that
.
Let
. Since
, the
process
with
estimates the process
from above:
holds for all
. The process
converges to
w.p.1 uniformly over
, so
w.p.1. Since
, there exists an index
,
for which if
then
with
probability
. The proof goes on by induction: assume that up
to some index
we have found indices
such that when
then
|
(16) |
holds with probability
. Now let us restrict
ourselves to those events for which inequality (
16)
holds. Then we see that the process
bounds
from above from the index
. The process
converges to
w.p.1 uniformly
over
, so the above argument can be repeated to obtain an index
such that (
16) holds for
with
probability
.
Since
,
and
. So there exists an index
for which
. Then inequality (15)
can be satisfied by setting
so that
holds and letting .
