Let {Xni, i ≥ 1, n ≥ 1} be an array of rowwise asymptotically almost negatively associated random variables. Some sufficient conditions for complete convergence for arrays of rowwise asymptotically almost negatively associated random variables are presented without assumptions of identical distribution. As an application, the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type strong law of large numbers for weighted sums of asymptotically almost negatively associated random variables is obtained. 1. Introduction The concept of complete convergence was introduced by Hsu and Robbins 1 as follows. A sequence of random variables {Un, n ≥ 1} is said to converge completely to a constant C if ∞ P |Un − C| ε ∞ for all ε 0. In view of the Borel-Cantelli lemma, this implies n1 that U → C almost surely a.s.. The converse is true if the {U , n ≥ 1} are independent. n n Hsu and Robbins 1 proved that the sequence of arithmetic means of independent and
