Tail Probability and Singularity of Laplace-Stieltjes Transform of a Heavy Tailed Random Variable
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we will give a sufficient condition for a non-negative random variable X to be heavy tailed by investigating the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the probability distribution function. We focus on the relation between the singularity at the real point of the axis of convergence and the asymptotic decay of the tail probability. Our theorem is a kind of Tauberian theorems.

Numerical Methods for Analyzing Queues with Heavy-Tailed Distributions
In many Internet-type queues, arrival and service distributions are heavy-tailed. A difficulty with analyzing these queues is that heavy-tailed distributions do not generally have closed-form Laplace transforms. A recently proposed method, the Transform Approximation Method (TAM), overcomes this by numerically approximating the transform. This paper investigates numerical issues of implementing...
متن کاملInternet-Type Queues with Power-Tailed Interarrival Times and Computational Methods for Their Analysis
Internet traffic flows have often been characterized as having power-tailed (long-tailed, fat-tailed, heavy-tailed) packet interarrival times or service requirements. In this work, we focus on the development of complete and computationally efficient steady-state solutions of queues with power-tailed interarrival times when the service times are assumed exponential. The classical method for obt...
متن کاملRare - Event , Heavy - Tailed Simulations Using Hazard Function Transformations , with Applications to Value - at - Risk
We develop an observation that a simulation method introduced recently for heavy-tailed stochastic simulation, namely hazard-rate twisting, is equivalent to doing exponential twisting on a transformed version of the heavy-tailed random-variable; the transforming function is the hazard function. Using this approach, the paper develops efficient methods for computing portfolio value-at-risk (VAR)...
متن کاملAsymptotic Results for Renewal Risk Models with Risky Investments
We consider a renewal jump-diffusion process, more specifically a renewal insurance risk model with investments in a stock whose price is modeled by a geometric Brownian motion. Using Laplace transforms and regular variation theory, we introduce a transparent and unifying analytic method for investigating the asymptotic behavior of ruin probabilities and related quantities, in models with light...
متن کاملInvestigation of continuous-time quantum walks via spectral analysis and Laplace transform
Continuous-time quantum walk (CTQW) on a given graph is investigated by using the techniques of the spectral analysis and inverse Laplace transform of the Stieltjes function (Stieltjes transform of the spectral distribution) associated with the graph. It is shown that, the probability amplitude of observing the CTQW at a given site at time t is related to the inverse Laplace transformation of t...
