This article gives the equivalent conditions of the local asymptotics for the overshoot of a random walk with heavy-tailed increments, from which we find that the above asymptotics are different from the local asymptotics for the supremum of the random walk. To do this, the article first extends and improves some existing results about the solutions of renewal equations.
The authors investigate the tail probability of the supremum of a random walk with independent increments and obtain some equivalent assertions in the case that the increments are independent and identically distributed random variables with Osubexponential integrated distributions.A uniform upper bound is derived for the distribution of the supremum of a random walk with independent but non-identically distributed increments,whose tail distributions are dominated by a common tail distribution with an O-subexponential integrated distribution.
