Abstract
In this article, the concept of J-uniform integrability of a sequence of random variables {X-k} with respect to {a(nk)} is introduced where J is a non-trivial ideal of subsets of the set of positive integers and {a(nk)} is an array of real numbers. We show that this concept is weaker than the concept of {X-k} being uniformly integrable with respect to {a(nk)} and is more general than the concept of B-statistical uniform integrability with respect to {a(nk)}. We give two characterizations of J-uniform integrability with respect to {a(nk)}. One of them is a de La Vallee Poussin type characterization. For a sequence of pairwise independent random variables {X-k} which is J-uniformly integrable with respect to {a(nk)}, a law of large numbers with mean ideal convergence is proved. We also obtain a version without the pairwise independence assumption by strengthening other conditions. Supplements to the classical Mean Convergence Criterion are also established.
