#### Abstract

Let $\{X_{ni},\;1{\leq}i{\leq}n,\;n{\geq}1\}$ be a sequence of LNQD which are dominated randomly by another random variable X. We obtain the complete convergence and almost sure convergence of weighted sums ${\sum}^n_{i=1}a_{ni}X_{ni}$ for LNQD by using a new exponential inequality, where $\{a_{ni},\;1{\leq}i{\leq}n,\;n{\geq}1\}$ is an array of constants. As corollary, the results of some authors are extended from i.i.d. case to not necessarily identically LNQD case.
