A New Shape of Extremal Clusters For Certain Stationary Semi-Exponential Processes With Moderate Long Range Dependence

Abstract

Extremal clusters of stationary processes with long memory can be quite intricate. For certain stationary infinitely divisible processes with subexponential tails, including both power-like tails and certain lighter tails, e.g. lognormal-like tails, such clusters may take the shape of stable regenerative sets. In this paper we show that for semi-exponential tails, which are even lighter, a new shape of extremal clusters arises. In this case each stable regenerative set supports a random panoply of varying extremes.
