Abstract

Let X i be a sequence of independent symmetric real random variables with logarithmically concave tails. We consider a variable X = v i X i , where v i are vectors of some Banach space. We derive approximate formulas for the tail and moments of ∥X∥. The estimates are exact up to some universal constant and they extend results of S. J. Dilworth and S. J. Montgomery-Smith [1] for the Rademacher sequence and E. D. Gluskin and S. Kwapień [2] for real coefficients.
