Abstract: | Let be independent identically distributed random variables with regularly varying distribution tails: where α≤ min (1,β), and L and L
W
are slowly varying functions as t→∞. Set S
n
=X
1
+⋯+X
n
, ˉS
n
= max
0≤ k ≤ n
S
k
. We find the asymptotic behavior of P
(S
n
> x)→0 and P
(ˉS
n
> x)→0 as x→∞, give a criterion for ˉS
∞
<∞ a.s. and, under broad conditions, prove that P (ˉS
∞
> x)˜c V(x)/W(x).
In case when distribution tails of X
j
admit regularly varying majorants or minorants we find sharp estimates for the mentioned above probabilities under study.
We also establish a joint distributional representation for the global maximum ˉS
∞
and the time η when it was attained in the form of a compound Poisson random vector.
