Pseudo-independence, independence and related limit theorems under sublinear expectations

Abstract: This paper introduces the notion of pseudo-independence on the sublinear expectation space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathcal{P})$ via the classical conditional expectation, and the relations between pseudo-independence and Peng's independence are detailed discussed. Law of large numbers and central limit theorem for pseudo-independent random variables are obtained, and a purely probabilistic proof of Peng's law of large numbers is also given. In the end, some relevant counterexamples are indicated that Peng's law of large numbers and central limit theorem are invalid only with the first and second moment conditions respectively.
