Abstract
The quadratic variation of Gaussian processes plays an important role
in both stochastic analysis and in applications such as estimation of
model parameters, and for this reason the topic has been extensively
studied in the literature. In this article we study the convergence of
quadratic sums of general Gaussian sequences. We provide necessary and
sufficient conditions for different types of convergence including
convergence in probability, almost sure convergence, $L^{p}$-convergence
as well as weak convergence. We use a practical and simple approach
which simplifies the existing methodology considerably. As an
application, we show how convergence of the quadratic variation of a
given process can be obtained by an appropriate choice of the underlying
sequence.
