Tail Behavior of Sums and Maxima of Sums of Dependent Subexponential Random Variables
Tóm tắt
In this paper, we consider dependent random variables X

,∞), respectively, where the b
k
≥0 are some finite constants. We derive asymptotic results on the tail probabilities of the quantities
$S_{n}=\sum_{k=1}^{n} X_{k}$

, n≥1 in the case where the random variables are dependent with heavy-tailed (subexponential) distributions, which substantially generalize the results of Ko and Tang (J. Appl. Probab. 45, 85–94, 2008).
