A new approach in two-dimensional heavy-tailed distributions

We consider a new approach in the definition of two-dimensional heavy-tailed distributions. Namely, we introduce the classes of two-dimensional long-tailed, of twodimensional dominatedly varying and of two-dimensional consistently varying distributions. Next, we define the closure property with respect to two-dimensional convolution and to joint max-sum equivalence in order to study if they are satisfied by these classes. Further we examine the joint behavior of two random sums, under generalized tail asymptotic independence. Afterward we study the closure property under scalar product and two dimensional product convolution and by these results we extended our main result in the case of jointly randomly weighted sums. Our results contained some applications where we establish the asymptotic expression of the ruin probability in a two-dimensional discrete-time risk model.

Closure properties in positively decreasing and related distributions under dependence

We consider closure properties in the class of positively decreasing distributions. Our results stem from different types of dependence, but each type belongs in the family of asymptotically independent dependence structure. Namely we examine the closure property with respect to minimum, maximum, convolution product and convolution. Furthermore, we take into account some closure properties of the class of generalized subexponential positively decreasing distributions, as also we introduce and study the class of the generalized long-tailed positively decreasing distributions. Also we revisited the (independent) convolution closure problem of subexponentiality, in the case of subexponential positively decreasing class. In some classes we discuss the closedness of randomly stopped sums. In the last section we study the closure property with respect to minimum for two classes of random vectors.

Characterization of tails through hazard rate and convolution closure properties

We use the properties of the Matuszewska indices to show asymptotic inequalities for hazard rates. We discuss the relation between membership in the classes of dominatedly or extended rapidly varying tail distributions and corresponding hazard rate conditions. Convolution closure is established for the class of distributions with extended rapidly varying tails.
