Let Gn (x) be the distribution of the nth successive maximum of a random walk on the real line. Under conditions typical for complete exponential convergence, the decay of Gn (x) – limn→∞ Gn (x) is asymptotically equal to H(x) γn n–3/2 as n → ∞where γ < 1 and H(x) a function solely depending on x. For the case of drift to + ∞, G ∞(x) = 0 and the result is new; for drift to – ∞we give a new proof, simplifying and correcting an earlier version in [9].

Let Gn (x) be the distribution function of the maximum of the successive partial sums of independent and identically distributed random variables and G(x) its limiting distribution function. Under conditions, typical for complete exponential convergence, the decay of Gn (x) — G(x) is asymptotically equal to c.H(x)n −3/2 γn as n → ∞ where c and γ are known constants and H(x) is a function solely depending on x.
