Tail expansions for the distribution of the maximum of a random walk with negative drift and regularly varying increments

Ph . Barbe, W. P. McCormick, C. Zhang

Published 2006-04-18Version 1

Let F be a distribution function with negative mean and regularly varying right tail. Under a mild smoothness condition we derive higher order asymptotic expansions for the tail distribution of the maxima of the random walk generated by F. An application to ruin probabilities is developed.
