Abstract

Previous work on the joint asymptotic distribution of the sum and maxima of Gaussian processes is extended here. In particular, it is shown that for a stationary sequence of standard normal random variables with correlation function r, the condition r(n)ln n = o(1) as n → ∞ suffices to establish the asymptotic independence of the sum and maximum.
