Abstract

We consider a sequence (Zn)n≥1 defined by a general multivariate stochastic approximation algorithm and assume that (Zn) converges to a solution z* almost surely. We establish the compact law of the iterated logarithm for Zn by proving that, with probability one, the limit set of the sequence (Zn - z*) suitably normalized is an ellipsoid. We also give the law of the iterated logarithm for the lp norms, p ∈ [1, ∞], of (Zn - z*).
Keywords: Law of the iterated logarithm; Stochastic algorithm
