Maxima of Sums of Heavy-tailed Random Variables

In this paper, we investigate asymptotic properties of the tail probabilities of the maxima of partial sums of independent random variables. For some large classes of heavy-tailed distributions, we show that the tail probabilities of the maxima of the partial sums asymptotically equal to the sum of the tail probabilities of the individual random variables...
