Abstract
The main result in this paper is an invariance principle for the law of the iterated logarithm for square integrable martingales subject to fairly mild regularity conditions on the increments. When specialized to the case of identically distributed increments the result contains that of Stout [16] as well as the invariance principle for independent random variables of Strassen [17]. The martingale result is also used to obtain an invariance principle for the iterated logarithm law for a wide class of stationary ergodic sequences and a corollary is given which extends recent results of Oodaira and Yoshihara [10] on ϕ-mixing processes.
