- Title:
- A note on the Kesten-Grincevičius-Goldie theorem
- Abstract:
- Consider the perpetuity equation X=DAX+B, where (A,B) and X on the right-hand side are independent. The Kesten–Grincevičius–Goldie theorem states that if EAκ=1, EAκlog+A<∞, and E|B|κ<∞, then P{X>x}∼cx−κ. Assume that E|B|ν<∞ for some ν>κ, and consider two cases (i) EAκ=1, EAκlog+A=∞; (ii) EAκ<1, EAt=∞ for all t>κ. We show that under appropriate additional assumptions on A the asymptotic P{X>x}∼cx−κℓ(x) holds, where ℓ is a nonconstant slowly varying function. We use Goldie’s renewal theoretic approach.
