Abstract

Let {Sn,n[greater-or-equal, slanted]0} be a random walk starting from 0 and drifting to -[infinity], and let [tau](x) be the first time when the random walk crosses a given level x[greater-or-equal, slanted]0. Some asymptotics for the tail probability of the overshoot S[tau](x)-x, associated with the event ([tau](x)
