Abstract
Let {$\small{X_n,n{\geq}1}$} be a sequence of negatively superadditive dependent random variables. In the paper, we study the strong law of large numbers for general weighted sums $\small{{\frac{1}{g(n)}}{\sum_{i=1}^{n}}{\frac{X_i}{h(i)}}}$ of negatively superadditive dependent random variables with non-identical distribution. Some sufficient conditions for the strong law of large numbers are provided. As applications, the Kolmogorov strong law of large numbers and Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund strong law of large numbers for negatively superadditive dependent random variables are obtained. Our results generalize the corresponding ones for independent random variables and negatively associated random variables.
