Let be a σ-finite measure space, {T1, …, Tk} a set of linear operators of , some p, 1≤p≤∞.If

exists a.e. for all f ∊ Lp, we say that the multiple sequence ergodic theorem holds for {T1, …, Tk}. If f≥0 implies Tf≥0, we say that T is positive. If there exists an operator S such that |Tf(x)|≥S |f|(x) a.e., we say that T is dominated by S. In this paper we prove that if T1, …, Tk are dominated by positive contractions of , p fixed, 1<p<∞, then the multiple sequence ergodic theorem holds for {T1, …, Tk}.
