Asymptotic analysis for random walks with nonidentically distributed jumps having finite variance
A. A. Borovkov Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Abstract:
Let ξ1ξ2,… be independent random variables with distributions F1,F2,… in a triangular array scheme (Fi may depend on some parameter). Assume that Eξi=0, Eξ2i<∞ and put Sn=∑ni=1ξi, ¯Sn=maxk⩽nSk. Assuming further that some regularly varying functions majorize or minorize the “averaged” distribution F=1n∑ni=1Fi, we find upper and lower bounds for the probabilities P(Sn>x) and P(¯Sn>x). We also study the asymptotics of these probabilities and of the probabilities that a trajectory {Sk} crosses the remote boundary {g(k)}; that is, the asymptotics of P(maxk⩽n(Sk−g(k))>0). The case n=∞ is not excluded. We also estimate the distribution of the first crossing time.
Keywords:
random walks, large deviations, nonidentically distributed jumps, triangular array scheme, finite variance, transient phenomena.
