Randomly stopped sums with consistently varying distributions

Abstract

Let $\{\xi_1,\xi_2,\ldots\}$ be a sequence of independent random variables, and $\eta$ be a counting random variable independent of this sequence. We consider conditions for $\{\xi_1,\xi_2,\ldots\}$ and $\eta$ under which the distribution function of the random sum $S_{\eta}=\xi_1+\xi_2+\cdots+\xi_{\eta}$ belongs to the class of consistently varying distributions. In our consideration, the random variables $\{\xi_1,\xi_2,\ldots\}$ are not necessarily identically distributed.
