Description

In recent years, more and more mathematical models using stable distributions or sums of random variables approximated by stable laws have been considered in technology, physics, astronomy and economiccs. This work is devoted to topics related to the theory of summation of independent random variables attracted by a stable law. Conditions on pseudomoments and on the tail behaviour of the distribution functions play a crucial role. Berry-Esseen-type inequalities and some problems of probabilities of large deviations are investigated for sums of independent random variables and U-statistics. Asymptotic expansions and non-uniform estimates are developed. Finally, the density problem is treated when the normalized sum of independent or 1-dependent random variables is asymptotically Hoelder continuous. Different examples demonstrate the results.
