Tóm tắt

If C is a distribution function on (0, ∞) then the harmonic renewal function associated with C is the function $$G(x) = \sum\limits_1^\infty {n^{ - 1} } C^{(n)} (x)$$ . We link the asymptotic behaviour of G to that of 1−C. Applications to the ladder index and the ladder height of a random walk are included.
