Regular variation of infinite series of processes with random coefficients

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this article, we consider a series X(t)=sumjgeq1Psij(t)Zj(t),tin[0,1] of random processes with sample paths in the space D=D[0,1] of c`adl`ag functions (i.e. right-continuous functions with left limits) on [0,1]. We assume that (Zj)jgeq1 are i.i.d. processes with sample paths in D and (Psij)jgeq1 are processes with continuous sample paths. Using the notion of regular variation for D-valued random elements (introduced in Hult and Lindskog (2005)), we show that X is regularly varying if Z1 is regularly varying, (Psij)jgeq1 satisfy some moment conditions, and a certain ``predictability assumption holds for the sequence (Zj,Psij)jgeq1. Our result can be viewed as an extension of Theorem 3.1 of Hult and Samorodnitsky (2008) from random vectors in Rd to random elements in D. As a preliminary result, we prove a version of Breiman's lemma for D-valued random elements, which can be of independent interest.
