Probabilistic Applications of Tauberian Theorems

From MaRDI portal





Despite the strong interest of probabilists in Tauberian theorems, no book devoted to this topic has been published yet. This monograph fills this gap. Introduction contains a short review of references of investigations and applications of Tauberian theorems. Multidimensional Tauberian theorems are discussed in the first chapter of the book. Regularly varying functions on a cone \(\Gamma \subseteq \mathbb{R} ^{n}\), a weak convergence of measures and functions, weakly oscillating functions are discussed in Sections 1.1, 1.2, and 1.4 of this chapter. Multidimensional expansions of the Tauberian theorem due to Karamata, the multidimensional Tauberian comparison theorem of Keldysh type as well as that of Littlewood type are presented in Sections 1.2 and 1.5. Section 1.6 contains several one-dimensional Tauberian theorems in case of an \(n\)-faced cone, a multidimensional Abelian theorem and several Tauberian theorems of Drozhzhinov-Zavyalov type are given in Sections 1.7 and 1.8 This chapter ends with a short additional remarks on problems dealt with in it. Tauberian theorems with remainder terms are not discussed, only the references are mentioned in Introduction. Chapters 2--5 contain the probabilistic applications of Tauberian theorems. Employing ordinary Tauberian theorems without remainder terms, the author obtains exact asymptotics of tail probabilities and densities \(g(t)\) as \( t\rightarrow \infty \) for infinitely divisible random vectors in Ch. 4. In Ch. 2 the asymptotic properties of branching processes are considered. One theorem is proved for a lower bounded branching process. The Bellman-Harris processes are analyzed in more detail. Namely, the asymptotic distribution of the number of particles at time \(t\), limit theorems for conditional finite-dimensional distributions, and the number of long-living particles as \(t\rightarrow \infty \) have been considered. Several limit theorems on random permutations the cycle length of which belong to the given set A are presented in Ch. 3. Ch. 5 contains limit theorems in the record models, i.e., the asymptotics of tail probabilities for intervals between state change times and for the so-called \(k\)th record times. The list of references contains 278 positions. Subject index is added as well. This book is a translation of the Russian version (2005; Zbl 1114.60002).
