The local asymptotic estimation for the supremum of a random walk with generalized strong subexponential summands

Abstract

In this paper, the local asymptotic estimation for the supremum of a random walk and its applications are presented. The summands of the random walk have common long-tailed and generalized strong subexponential distribution. This distribution class and the corresponding generalized local subexponential distribution class are two new distribution classes with some good properties. Further, some long-tailed distributions with intuitive and concrete forms are found, which show that the intersection of the two above-mentioned distribution classes with long-tailed distribution class properly contain the strong subexponential distribution class and the locally subexponential distribution class, respectively.
