Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the precise large deviations for sums of independent identically distributed random variables with heavy-tailed distributions. We prove asymptotic relations for non-random sums and for random sums of random variables with long-tailed distributions. We apply the results on two useful counting processes, namely, renewal and compound-renewal processes.
