Abstract

Let (r,s)Xt^{(r,s)}X_t be the L\'evy process XtX_t with the rr largest jumps and ss smallest jumps up till time tt deleted and let (r)X~t^{(r)}\tilde X_t be XtX_t with the rr largest jumps in modulus up till time tt deleted. We show that ((r,s)Xtat)/bt({}^{(r,s)}X_t - a_t)/b_t or ((r)X~tat)/bt({}^{(r)}\tilde X_t - a_t)/b_t converges to a proper nondegenerate nonnormal limit distribution as t0t \downarrow 0 if and only if (Xtat)/bt(X_t-a_t)/b_t converges as t0t \downarrow 0 to an α\alpha-stable random variable, with 0<α<2 0 <\alpha<2 , where ata_t and bt>0b_t>0 are non stochastic functions in tt. Together with the asymptotic normality case treated in \cite{fan2014an}, this completes the domain of attraction problem for trimmed L\'evy processes at 00.
