Functional convergence of linear processes with heavy-tailed innovations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study convergence in law of partial sums of linear processes with heavy-tailed innovations. In the case of summable coefficients necessary and sufficient conditions for the finite dimensional convergence to an alpha-stable L'evy Motion are given. The conditions lead to new, tractable sufficient conditions in the case alphaleq1. In the functional setting we complement the existing results on M1-convergence, obtained for linear processes with nonnegative coefficients by Avram and Taqqu (1992) and improved by Louhichi and Rio (2011), by proving that in the general setting partial sums of linear processes are convergent on the Skorokhod space equipped with the S topology, introduced by Jakubowski (1997).


The authors study the partial sum process of a linear process, especially in the case with heavy-tailed innovations. They give a necessary and sufficient condition for the finite-dimensional convergence of the partial sum process, where the limit is an alpha-stable Lévy motion. To obtain functional convergence, they use the space of càdlàg functions equipped with the \(S\) topology, which is weaker than Skorokhods \(M_1\) or \(J_1\) topology. After discussing convergence in distribution with respect to the \(S\) topology, they state their main result: if the coefficients of a linear process are summable and the distribution of the innovations fulfill some regularity conditions, then the convergence in distribution of the partial sum process with respect to the \(S\) topology follows from the finite-dimensional convergence.
