Asymptotics of random contractions

چکیده
In this paper we discuss the asymptotic behaviour of random contractions X = RS, where R, with distribution function F , is a positive random variable independent of S ∈ (0, 1). Random contractions appear naturally in insurance and finance. Our principal contribution is the derivation of the tail asymptotics of X assuming that F is in the max-domain of attraction of an extreme value distribution and the distribution function of S satisfies a regular variation property. We apply our result to derive the asymptotics of the probability of ruin for a particular discretetime risk model. Further we quantify in our asymptotic setting the effect of the random scaling on the Conditional Tail Expectations, risk aggregation, and derive the joint asymptotic distribution of linear combinations of random contractions.

Asymptotic Cost of Cutting Down Random Free Trees
In this work, we calculate the limit distribution of the total cost incurred by splitting a tree selected at random from the set of all finite free trees. This total cost is considered to be an additive functional induced by a toll equal to the square of the size of tree. The main tools used are the recent results connecting the asymptotics of generating functions with the asymptotics of...
متن کاملAsymptotics for the infinite time ruin probability of a dependent risk model with a constant interest rate and dominatedly varying-tailed claim sizes
This paper mainly considers a nonstandard risk model with a constant interest rate, where both the claim sizes and the inter-arrival times follow some certain dependence structures. When the claim sizes are dominatedly varying-tailed, asymptotics for the infinite time ruin probability of the above dependent risk model have been given.
متن کاملComprehensive Analysis on Exact Asymptotics of Random Coding Error Probability
This paper considers error probabilities of random codes for memoryless channels in the fixed-rate regime. Random coding is a fundamental scheme to achieve the channel capacity and many studies have been conducted for the asymptotics of the decoding error probability. Gallager derived the exact asymptotics (that is, a bound with asymptotically vanishing relative error) of the error probability ...
متن کاملBeta-gamma tail asymptotics
We compute the tail asymptotics of the product of a beta random variable and a generalized gamma random variable which are independent and have general parameters. A special case of these asymptotics were proved and used in a recent work of Bubeck, Mossel, and Rácz in order to determine the tail asymptotics of the maximum degree of the preferential attachment tree. The proof presented here is s...
