Asymptotic expansions for waiting time probabilities in an \(M/G/1\) queue with long-tailed service time (Q1183672)

Let \(S\) equal the random sum \(\sum_ 1^ N X_ i\) of i.i.d. random variables \(X_ i\) with a subexponential distribution. Extending the results of [\textit{E. Omey} and \textit{E. Willekens}, Commun. Stat., Stochastic Models 3, 311-342 (1987; Zbl 0635.60018)], it is shown how the tails of the distribution of the \(X_ i\) relate to those of the sum \(S\). These results are applied to obtain approximations to the waiting time distribution in an \(M^{[X]}/G/1\) queue with batch arrivals.
