    The authors consider the sums and maxima of sequential sums of random variables with regularly varying distribution tails of index \(-\beta\), with \(\beta\in (1,2)\). First-order approximations are established as well as some refinements for the distributions of these sums and maxima in a large deviation area. Similar results are obtained for probabilities of crossing arbitrary curvilinear boundaries in the large deviation range by random walks generated by such sequential sums.
