Asymptotics for sums of random variables with local subexponential behaviour

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We study distributions F on [0,infty) such that for some Tleinfty, F2(x,x+T]sim2F(x,x+T]. The case T=infty corresponds to F being subexponential, and our analysis shows that the properties for T<infty are, in fact, very similar to this classical case. A parallel theory is developed in the presence of densities. Applications are given to random walks, the key renewal theorem, compound Poisson process and Bellman-Harris branching processes.
