On subexponential tails for the maxima of negatively driven compound renewal and L\'evy processes

Probability 2016-11-22 v2

Abstract

We study subexponential tail asymptotics for the distribution of the maximum Mt:=supu[0,t]XuM_t:=\sup_{u\in[0,t]}X_u of a process XtX_t with negative drift for the entire range of t>0t>0. We consider compound renewal processes with linear drift and L\'evy processes. For both we also formulate and prove the principle of a single big jump for their maxima. The class of compound renewal processes particularly includes Cram\'er-Lundberg risk process.
