Abstract: | A distribution function F on the nonnegative real line is called subexponential if limx![uarr](/content/xb8vvtj5vacauunb/xxlarge8593.gif) (1-F
*n
(x)/(1 - F(x)) = n for all n 2, where F
*n
denotes the n fold Stieltjes convolution of F with itself. In this paper, we consider the rate of convergence in the above definition and in its density analogue. Among others we discuss the asymptotic behavior of the remainder term R
n
(x) defined by R
n
(x) = 1 - F*n(x) - n(1 - F(x)) and of its density analogue rn (x) = -(Rn (x))'. Our results complement and complete those obtained by several authors. In an earlier paper, we obtained results of the form n(x) = O(1)f(x)R(x), where f is the density of F and R(x) =

n(x)=

R2(x) + O(1)(-f'(x))R2(x) where f' is the derivative of f. |
