AbstractIn this paper, we investigate asymptotic properties of the tail probabilities of the maxima of partial sums of independent random variables. For some large classes of heavy-tailed distributions, we show that the tail probabilities of the maxima of the partial sums asymptotically equal to the sum of the tail probabilities of the individual random variables. Then we partially extend the result to the case of random sums. Applications to some commonly used risk processes are proposed. All heavy-tailed distributions involved in this paper are supposed on the whole real line.

We investigate the precise large deviations for random sums of extended negatively dependent random variables with long and dominatedly varying tails. We find out that the asymptotic behavior of precise large deviations of random sums is insensitive to the extended negative dependence. We apply the results to a generalized dependent compound renewal risk model including premium process and claim process and obtain the asymptotic behavior of the tail probabilities of the claim surplus process.

This paper considers the randomly weighted sums generated by some dependent subexponential primary random variables and some arbitrarily dependent random weights. To study the randomly weighted sums with infinitely many terms, we establish a Kesten-type upper bound for their tail probabilities in presence of subexponential primary random variables and under a certain dependence among them. Our result extends the study of Chen [5] to the dependent case. As applications, we derive some asymptotic formulas for the tail probability and the Value-at-Risk of total aggregate loss in a multivariate operational risk cell model.

We find a universal norming sequence in strong limit theorems for increments of sums of i.i.d. random variables with finite first moments and finite second moments of positive parts. Under various one-sided moment conditions our universal theorems imply the following results for sums and their increments: the strong law of large numbers, the law of the iterated logarithm, the Erdős-Rényi law of large numbers, the Shepp law, one-sided versions of the Csörgő-Révész strong approximation laws. We derive new results for random variables from domains of attraction of a normal law and asymmetric stable laws with index αЄ(1,2).
