摘要
We use and extend a method by Hoeffding to obtain strong large deviation bounds for sums of dependent random variables with suitable dependency structure. The method is based on breaking up the sum into sums of independent variables. Applications are given to U-statistics, random strings and random graphs. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
