Some new results on the subexponential class
Keyword(s):
A distribution function F on (0,∞) belongs to the subexponential class if the ratio of 1 – F(2)(x) to 1 – F(x) converges to 2 as x →∞. A necessary condition for membership in is used to prove that a certain class of functions previously thought to be contained in has members outside of . Sufficient conditions on the tail of F are found which ensure F belongs to ; these conditions generalize previously published conditions.
