1. Introduction
Consider an insurance risk model in which an insurer simultaneously operates two types of claims sharing a common arrival process. When introducing this model, Chen et al. [Reference Chen, Yuen and Ng5] made the following standard assumptions.
Assumption
$A_{1}.$ The claim-size vectors $\vec{X_{i}}=(X^{(1)}_{i}, X^{(2)}_{i})^{T}$, $i\geq1$, are a sequence of nonnegative, independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) copies of $\vec{X}=(X^{(1)}, X^{(2)})^{T}$ with finite mean vector $\vec{\mu}=E\vec{X}=(EX^{(1)}, EX^{(2)})^{T}=(\mu_{1}, \mu_{2})^{T}$ and common marginal distributions F 1 and F 2, respectively. And the claim-size vector $(X^{(1)},X^{(2)})^{T}$ consists of two independent components, which means that $\{X^{(1)}_{i}, i\geq1\}$ and $\{X^{(2)}_{i}, i\geq1\}$ are mutually independent.
Assumption
$A_{2}.$ The claim inter-arrival times θi, $i\geq1$, are a sequence of positive and i.i.d. random variables (r.v.s) with common distribution G and positive mean λ −1. Then $\tau_{i}=\sum_{k=1}^{i}\theta_{k}$ are the common claim-arrival times of $\vec{X_{i}}$, $i\geq1$, and constitute the common arrival process as:
which is the standard renewal process with a finite mean function $\lambda(t)=EN(t)$.
Assumption
$A_{3}.$ The claim-size vectors $\{\vec{X_{i}}, i\geq1\}$ and their inter-arrival times $\{\theta_{i}, i\geq1\}$ are mutually independent.
Let $\vec{x}=(x_1,x_2)^{T}$ be the insurer’s initial capitals, and $\vec{c}=(c_1,c_2)^{T}$ be its premium income rates, then the risk process in the two-dimensional setting has the form:
where $\vec{U}(t)=(U_1(t), U_2(t))^{T}$. And the processes of aggregate claims and net loss are expressed as, respectively,
and
To avoid the certain ruin of the risk process (1.1), we assume that the safety load condition holds as:
Taking in account the insurer’s large initial capital and long operation time, the risk analysis is necessary to be implemented as the two prerequisites simultaneously tend to infinity, which matches well with the research goal of precise large deviations. The study of precise large deviations of aggregate claims in the one-dimensional risk model was initiated by Klüppelberg et al. [Reference Klüppelberg and Mikosch14], and revisited by many researchers afterwards. For example, Ng et al. [Reference Ng22] first extended the study of precise large deviations to the class $\mathscr{C}$, and Chen et al. [Reference Chen, Yuen and Ng6] further extended the study to the continuous-time case and applied it to a non-standard renewal risk model. An increasing amount of scholarly attention is recently paid to the precise large deviations of aggregate claims (1.2) in the two-dimensional risk model. See, for example, [Reference Fu, Liu and Wang10, Reference Gao, Li and Kan11, Reference Lu21, Reference Shen and Tian23, Reference Wang and Wang26, Reference Wang and Wang27]. However, to our best knowledge, there is a dearth of large deviation results for the net loss process (1.3), which is more practical in insurance but much harder than that for the aggregate claim process. Hence in this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviors of precise large deviations for the net loss process for the two-dimensional case, which is among the initial efforts to analyze insurance risk via large deviation results for the net loss process involving the insurer’s premium income factor.
Risk theory with dependence has been one of the major topics in actuarial science, and more contributions have imposed various dependence structures in investigating precise large deviations, including [Reference He, Cheng and Wang12, Reference Kaas and Tang13, Reference Liu, Gao and Liu19, Reference Liu, Yu and Gao20, Reference Wang and Chen24, Reference Wang and Wang26, Reference Wang and Cheng28, Reference Yang and Wang32]. Extensively used dependence structures were proposed by Wang et al. [Reference Wang, Wang and Gao25]. Say that r.v.s $\{\xi_{i}, i\geq1\}$ are widely upper orthant dependent (WUOD), if for each $n\geq1$, there is a positive number $g_{U}(n)$ such that for all $x_i\in(-\infty, \infty)$, $1\leq i\leq n$,
Say that ${\{\xi_{i}, i\geq1\}}$ are widely lower orthant dependent (WLOD), if for each $n\geq1$, there is a positive number $g_{L}(n)$ such that for all $x_i\in(-\infty, \infty)$, $1\leq i\leq n$,
Further, say that ${\{\xi_{i}, i\geq1\}}$ are widely orthant dependent (WOD), if they are both WUOD and WLOD.
Remark 1.1. The WUOD, WLOD, and WOD structures can be termed a joint name of “wide dependence”, which is a more extended dependence so that it can cover the negative dependence, positive dependence and some others. See the examples of Wang et al. [Reference Wang, Wang and Gao25]. Recall that if $g_{U}(n)=g_{L}(n)=M$ for a constant M > 0 and all $n\geq1$, then ${\{\xi_{i}, i\geq1\}}$ are ENUOD, ENLOD, and ENOD, respectively, see [Reference Liu18]; while if $g_{U}(n)=g_{L}(n)=1$ for all $n\geq1$, then ${\{\xi_{i}, i\geq1\}}$ are NUOD, NLOD, and NOD, respectively, see [Reference Block, Savits and Shaked2, Reference Ebrahimi and Ghosh8].
For the two-dimensional case, since claim sizes $X^{(1)}$ and $X^{(2)}$ are both covered by an umbrella insurance policy, the complete independence between them was proposed mainly for the mathematical tractability rather than the practical relevance. Recently, Yang et al. [Reference Yang and Li31] and Li [Reference Li15] allowed $(X^{(1)}, X^{(2)})^{T}$ to follow the bivariate Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern distribution. Shen and Tian [Reference Shen and Tian23] imposed the dependence structure between $X^{(1)}$ and $X^{(2)}$, namely that there exists a constant M > 0 such that
where $\overline{F}_{1,2}(x_{1}, x_{2})=P(X^{(1)} \gt x_{1},X^{(2)} \gt x_{2})$. Fu et al. [Reference Fu, Liu and Wang10] further extended the constant M to a finite positive function. Li [Reference Li16, Reference Li17] introduced the strong asymptotic independence between $X^{(1)}$ and $X^{(2)}$.
Assume that in the paper the insurance claim sizes are heavy-tailed r.v.s, which can model large claims caused by severe accidents. For a proper distribution V, we denote its tail by $\overline{V}(x)=1-V(x)$, and its upper Matuszewska index by:
By definition, the following distribution classes
and
are said to be the long-tailed class, dominatedly varying-tailed class, and consistently varying-tailed class, respectively.
More generally, we say that a distribution V on $(-\infty,\infty)$ belongs to a distribution class if $V (x)\mathbf{1}_{\{x\geq 0\}}$ belongs to the same class, where $\mathbf{1}_{A}$ is the indicator function of a set A. The inclusion relationship that $\mathscr{C}\subset\mathscr{L}\cap\mathscr{D}$ is proper. For more details on heavy-tailed distributions with their applications, we refer to [Reference Bingham, Goldie and Teugels1, Reference Embrechts, Klüppelberg and Mikosch9].
In this paper, we aim to study the asymptotic behaviors of precise large deviations of the net loss process (1.3) in the two-dimensional risk model with dependence structures. This study can provide a novel insight to analyze the potential risks by fully considering the premium income factors of the insurance company, and thus accurately assesses the insurance operation risk in a long run.
The rest part of this paper is organized as follows: we state our main results in Section 2, and prove them in Sections 3 and 3.1, respectively.
2. Main results
All limit relationships henceforth are for $t\to\infty$ unless stated otherwise. For two positive functions $a(\cdot)$ and $b(\cdot)$, we write $a(t)\lesssim b(t)$ if $\limsup a(t)/b(t)\leq1$, write $a(t) \gt rsim b(t)$ if $\liminf a(t)/b(t)\geq1$, write $a(t)\sim b(t)$ if $a(t)\lesssim b(t)$ and $a(t) \gt rsim b(t)$, write $a(t)=o(1)b(t)$ if $\lim a(t)/b(t)=0$, write $a(t)=O(1)b(t)$ if $\limsup a(t)/b(t) \lt \infty$, and write $a(t)\asymp b(t)$ if $a(t)=O(1)b(t)$ and $b(t)=O(1)a(t)$.
In the standard two-dimensional risk model, the independence assumptions among modeling components appear far too unrealistic in practice, and then considerably limits the usefulness of the existing results. Hence in the paper, we will extend or remove the involved independence assumptions, and consider a nonstandard two-dimensional model under the following dependence assumptions.
Assumption
$A_{1}^{*}.$ The claim-size vectors $\vec{X_{i}}=(X^{(1)}_{i}, X^{(2)}_{i})^{T}$, $i\geq1$, are a sequence of nonnegative and i.i.d. copies of $(X^{(1)},X^{(2)})^{T}$ with marginal distributions F 1 and F 2, respectively, such that (1.4) holds.
Assumption
$A^{*}_{2}.$ The claim inter-arrival times θi, $i\geq1$, are positive and WLOD r.v.s. such that for some ϵ > 0,
Assumption
$A^{**}_{2}.$ The claim inter-arrival times θi, $i\geq1$, are positive and WOD r.v.s., and there exist a positive function $g(x) \overline{\downarrow}$ and some $m\geq1$ and $\kappa\in(0,1)$ such that
where $g(x)\overline{\downarrow}$ means that the function g(x) is almost decreasing (or nonincreasing), in the sense that there exists a constant C > 0 such that $g(x_{1})\geq C g(x_{2})$ for all $0\leq x_{1} \lt x_{2} \lt \infty$.
Assumption
$A^{*}_{3}.$ The claim-size vectors $\{\vec{X_{i}}, i\geq1\}$ and their inter-arrival times $\{\theta_{i},i\geq1\}$ are arbitrarily dependent.
Note that Assumptions $A^{*}_{1}$, $A^{*}_{2}$, and $A^{**}_{2}$ impose dependence structures between/among the involved modeling components to relax the independence assumption, while Assumption $A^{*}_{3}$ adopts arbitrary dependence to remove the independence assumption or certain dependence structures between claim-size vectors and their inter-arrival times. By Lemma 4.2 of [Reference Wang30], Assumption $A^{*}_{2}$ gives an elementary renewal theorem for the nonstandard renewal process $\{N(t), t\geq0\}$, namely that
The main results of this paper are given below, among which the first theorem provides an asymptotic formula of precise large deviations for the net loss process (1.3) in our model with arbitrary dependence between claim-size vectors and their inter-arrival times.
Theorem 2.1. Consider the net loss process (1.3) in the nonstandard two-dimensional risk model with Assumptions $A_1^{*}$, $A_2^{*}$ and $A_3^{*}$. If $F_{i}\in\mathscr{C}$, $i=1,2$, and $\overline{G}(x)=o(1)\overline{F}_{12}(x, x)$, as $x\to\infty$, then for any $\lambda\vec{\mu} \lt \vec{\gamma} \lt \vec{\Gamma} \lt \vec{\infty}$, it holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\in[\vec{\gamma}t, \vec{\Gamma}t]$ that
where $\vec{0}=(0,0)^{T}$, $\vec{\gamma}=(\gamma_1,\gamma_2)^{T}$, $\vec{\Gamma}=(\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2)^{T}$, and $\vec{\infty}=(\infty,\infty)^{T}$.
The second theorem extends the uniformity of (2.3) to an infinite interval under slightly stronger conditions imposed on modeling components.
Theorem 2.2. Consider the net loss process (1.3) in the nonstandard two-dimensional risk model with Assumptions $A_1^{*}$, $A_2^{**}$ and A 3. If $F_{i}\in\mathscr{C}$, $i=1,2$, then for any $\vec{\gamma} \gt \lambda\vec{\mu}$, relation (2.3) still holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$.
Following Theorems 2.1 and 2.2, we propose two corollaries for the one-dimensional setting, which cover the precise large deviation results for the net loss process of the nonstandard renewal risk model. Denote the net loss process of one-dimensional risk model by
where c > 0 is the premium income rate, and the claim sizes $\{X_{i},i\geq1\}$ are a sequence of nonnegative and i.i.d. r.v.s with finite µ and common distribution F.
Corollary 2.1. Consider the net loss process (2.4) in the non-standard renewal risk model with Assumptions $A_{2}^{*}$ and $A_{3}^{*}$. If $F\in\mathscr{C}$, and $\overline{G}(x)=o(1)\overline{F}(x)$, as $x\to\infty$, then for any $\lambda\mu \lt \gamma \lt \Gamma \lt \infty$, it holds uniformly for all $x\in[\gamma t, \Gamma t]$ that
3. Proofs of Theorem 2.1 and Corollary 2.1
3.1. Lemmas
The first lemma concerns the precise large deviations for sums of two-dimensional random vectors with dependent components, which results from Theorem 2.2 of [Reference Cheng, Kan and Gao7], and will play a critical role to prove the main results. Denote the nth partial sums of random vector $\vec{\xi_{i}}=(\xi^{(1)}_{i}, \xi^{(2)}_{i})^{T}$, $i\geq1$, by
Lemma 3.1. Let $\{\vec{\xi_{i}},i\geq1\}$ be a sequence of real valued and independent random vectors with mean vector $\vec{0}$ and common marginal distributions $V_{k}\in\mathscr{C}$, $k=1, 2$. If $\xi^{(1)}_{i}$ and $\xi^{(2)}_{i}$ satisfy (1.4) for every $i\geq1$, then for any $\vec{\gamma} \gt \vec{0}$, it holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma} n$ that
The second lemma is due to Lemma 3.2(ii) of [Reference Gao, Li and Kan11], which stems from Lemma 3.4 of [Reference Chen, White and Yuen4], and gives an extended version with arbitrary dependence among the underlying r.v.s.
Lemma 3.2. Let $\{\eta_{i},i\geq1\}$ be a sequence of real-valued and arbitrarily dependent r.v.s with generic r.v. η and mean 0. If $P(\eta \gt x)=o(1)\prod_{i=1}^{m}\overline{U}_{i}(x)$, as $x\to\infty$, for m distributions $U_{i}\in\mathscr{C}$, where m is any positive integer, then it holds uniformly for all $x\geq\gamma n$ that
3.2. Proof of Theorem 2.1
Firstly, we establish the asymptotic lower bound of (2.3). For any, but small, $\delta\in(0,1)$, we have
where the second step is due to an elementary inequality $P(ABC)\geq P(A)-P(\overline{B})-P(\overline{C})$ for three random events $A,B$ and C.
For $I_1(\vec{x},t)$, it can be rewritten as
Clearly, by the safety load condition that $\vec{c} \gt \lambda\vec{\mu}$, we know that $\vec{c}(1+\delta)^{2}t-(1-\delta)\lambda\vec{\mu} t \gt \vec{0}$. Hence by Lemma 3.1, it holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$ that
Since $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t\geq\lambda\vec{\mu}t$ and $\vec{c}\geq\lambda\vec{\mu}$, we have that, for $i=1,2,$
which, along with $F_{i}\in\mathscr{C}$, $i=1,2$, implies that
Similarly, it holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\leq\vec{\Gamma}t$ that
and then by $F_{i}\in\mathscr{C}$, $i=1,2$,
Thus, by (3.2)–(3.4) and the arbitrariness of $\delta\in(0,1)$, we obtain that, uniformly for all $\vec{x}\in[\vec{\gamma}t,\vec{\Gamma}t]$,
For $I_2(t)$, by $\overline{G}(x)=o(1)\overline{F}_{12}(x,x)$ and (1.4), we get $\overline{G}(x)=o(1)\overline{F}_1(x)\overline{F}_2(x)$, as $x\to\infty$. Hence by Lemma 3.2, and $F_i\in\mathscr{C}\subset\mathscr{L}\cap\mathscr{D}$, $i=1,2$, we derive that, uniformly for all $\vec{x}\leq\vec{\Gamma}t$,
where in the last step we used the fact that, for $i=1,2$,
resulted from $F_i\in\mathscr{D}$, $\vec{c} \gt \lambda\vec{\mu}$, and $\overline{F}_{i}(x_i)\geq\overline{F}_{i}(x_i+c_i t-\lambda\mu_{i}t)\geq\overline{F}(x_i(1+(c_i-\lambda\mu_{i})/\gamma_{i}))$ for $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$.
For $I_3(t)$, by the similar derivation of (3.6), it holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\leq\vec{\Gamma}t$ that
Therefore, by substituting (3.5), (3.6) and (3.8) into (3.1), we prove that, uniformly for all $\vec{x}\in[\vec{\gamma}t,\vec{\Gamma}t]$,
which gives the asymptotic lower bound of (2.3).
Subsequently, we deal with the asymptotic upper bound of (2.3). For any $\delta\in(0,1)$ as above, we have
Denote by
By the safety load condition that $\vec{c} \gt \lambda\vec{\mu}$, one sees that $\vec{c}(1-\delta)^2 t-(1+\delta)\lambda\vec{\mu}t \gt \vec{0}$ for some sufficiently small δ > 0. Hence by Lemma 3.1, it holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$ that
which, along with the similar derivation of (3.5), implies that, uniformly for all $\vec{x}\in[\vec{\gamma}t, \vec{\Gamma}t]$,
For $I_5(t)$, by the similar derivation of (3.8), it holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\leq\vec{\Gamma}t$ that
Hence, by substituting (3.6), (3.11) and (3.12) into (3.10), we show that, uniformly for all $\vec{x}\in[\vec{\gamma}t,\vec{\Gamma}t]$,
which is the claimed asymptotic upper bound of (2.3).
Finally, a combination of (3.9) and (3.13) proves that relation (2.3) holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\in[\vec{\gamma}t,\vec{\Gamma}t]$.
3.3. Proof of Corollary 2.1
The proof can be given by going along the same lines of the proof of Theorem 2.1 with the following modifications.
1. $\vec{L}(t)$, $\vec{x}$, $\vec{X}_{i}$, $\vec{c}$, $\vec{\mu}$, $\vec{\gamma}$, $\vec{\Gamma}$ and $\vec{0}$ are replaced by ${L}(t)$, x, ${X}_{i}$, c, µ, γ, Γ and 0, respectively.
2. For $i=1,2$, $\overline{F}_i$, xi, ci, γi and µi are replaced by $\overline{F}$, x, c, γ and µ, respectively.
3. Relation (3.2) is changed to
(3.14)\begin{eqnarray} I_1(x,t)\sim(1-\delta)\lambda t\overline{F}(x+(1+\delta)^{2}ct-(1-\delta)\lambda\mu t) \end{eqnarray}holding uniformly for all $x\geq\gamma t$, where we use Theorem 3.1 of [Reference Ng22] instead of Lemma 3.1.
4. By using (3.14), (3.3) and (3.4) with $\overline{F}_i$, xi, ci, γi and µi replaced by $\overline{F}$, x, c, γ and µ, respectively, and considering the arbitrariness of $\delta\in(0,1)$, relation (3.5) is changed to
(3.15)\begin{eqnarray} I_1(x,t)\sim\lambda t\overline{F}(x+ct-\lambda\mu t), \end{eqnarray}which holds uniformly for all $x\in[\gamma t, \Gamma t]$.
5. By mimicking the proof of Theorem 1.1 of [Reference Chen, White and Yuen4], relation (3.6) is changed to
(3.16)\begin{eqnarray} I_2(t)=o(1)\lambda t\overline{F}(x)=o(1)\lambda t\overline{F}(x+ct-\lambda\mu t) \end{eqnarray}holding uniformly for all $x\leq\Gamma t$ under the conditions of Corollary 2.1, where the second step is due to the fact that
(3.17)\begin{eqnarray} \overline{F}(x+ct-\lambda\mu t)\asymp\overline{F}(x), \end{eqnarray}resulted from $F\in\mathscr{D}$, ${c} \gt \lambda{\mu}$, and $\overline{F}(x)\geq\overline{F}(x+c t-\lambda\mu t)\geq\overline{F}(x(1+(c-\lambda\mu)/\gamma))$ for ${x}\geq{\gamma}t$.
6. By the similar derivation of (3.16), relation (3.8) is changed to
(3.18)\begin{eqnarray} I_3(t)=o(1)\lambda t\overline{F}(x+ct-\lambda\mu t) \end{eqnarray}holding uniformly for all $x\leq\Gamma t$.
7. By substituting (3.15), (3.16) and (3.18) into (3.1) with $\vec{L}(t)$, $\vec{x}$, $\vec{X}_{i}$ and $\vec{c}$ replaced by ${L}(t)$, x, ${X}_{i}$ and c, respectively, relation (3.9) is changed to
(3.19)\begin{eqnarray} P(L(t) \gt x) \gt rsim \lambda t\overline{F}(x+ct-\lambda\mu t), \end{eqnarray}holding uniformly for all $x\in[\gamma t, \Gamma t]$, which is the asymptotic lower bound of (2.5).
8. By the similar derivation of (3.15), relation (3.11) is changed to
(3.20)\begin{eqnarray} I_4(x,t)\sim\lambda t\overline{F}(x+ct-\lambda\mu t), \end{eqnarray}holding uniformly for all $x\in[\gamma t, \Gamma t]$.
9. By the similar derivation of (3.18), relation (3.12) is changed to
(3.21)\begin{eqnarray} I_5(t)=o(1)\lambda t\overline{F}(x+ct-\lambda\mu t) \end{eqnarray}holding uniformly for all $x\leq\Gamma t$.
10. By substituting (3.16), (3.20) and (3.21) into (3.10) with $\vec{L}(t)$, $\vec{x}$, $\vec{X}_{i}$ and $\vec{c}$ replaced by ${L}(t)$, x, ${X}_{i}$ and c, respectively, relation (3.13) is changed to
(3.22)\begin{eqnarray} P(L(t) \gt x)\lesssim \lambda t\overline{F}(x+ct-\lambda\mu t), \end{eqnarray}holding uniformly for all $x\in[\gamma t, \Gamma t]$, which establishes the asymptotic upper bound of (2.5).
Hence by (3.19) and (3.22), the uniformity of relation (2.5) for all $x\in[\gamma t, \Gamma t]$ is obtained.
4. Proofs of Theorem 2.2 and Corollary 2.2
4.1. Lemmas
The following two lemmas are given for the nonstandard renewal process $\{N(t), t\geq0\}$ with widely dependent inter-arrival times $\{\theta_{i}, i\geq1\}$, among which the first one is due to Lemma 2.2 of [Reference Wang and Cheng28].
Lemma 4.1. Consider the nonstandard renewal process $\{N(t), t\geq0\}$ with WLOD inter-arrival times $\{\theta_{i}, i\geq1\}$ such that for some ϵ > 0,
Then for any δ > 0, there exists some r > 0 such that
The second lemma gives the strong laws of large numbers for $\{\theta_{i}, i\geq1\}$ and $\{N(t), t\geq0\}$, see Theorem 2.4 of [Reference Wang and Cheng29] or Theorem 4 of [Reference Chen, Wang and Cheng3].
Lemma 4.2. Consider the nonstandard renewal process $\{N(t), t\geq0\}$ with Assumption $A^{**}_{2}$, then
Remark that, among the conditions in Lemma 4.1, Assumptions $A^{*}_{2}$ and $A^{**}_{2}$, the condition (4.1) is the most relaxed, the condition (2.1) takes second place, and the condition (2.2) is the strongest one.
4.2. Proof of Theorem 2.2
Firstly, we consider the uniform asymptotic lower bound of (2.3) for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$ under the conditions of Theorem 2.2. Let $\delta\in(0,1)$ be fixed as above. Similarly to (3.1), we have
where the first step is due to the independence in Assumption A 3, and the last step is due to an inequality $P(AB)\geq 1-P(\overline{A})-P(\overline{B})$ for two random events A and B.
By Lemma 4.2, it follows that
and
Then by substituting (3.3), (4.3), and (4.4) into (4.2), we obtain that relation (3.9) holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$.
Secondly, we turn to the asymptotic upper bound of (2.3), which holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$. For any $\delta\in(0,\min\{1, \gamma_1/\lambda\mu_{1}-1, \gamma_2/\lambda\mu_{2}-1\})$, we have
For $I_6(\vec{x},t)$, by the independence in Assumption A 3, we obtain that
By $F_{i}\in\mathscr{C}$, $i=1,2$, and Lemma 3.1, we derive that, uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$,
where the first step is from $\vec{x}-(1-\delta)\lambda\vec{\mu}t\geq\vec{\gamma}t-(1-\delta)\lambda\vec{\mu}t\geq\lambda\vec{\mu}t-(1-\delta)\lambda\vec{\mu}t=\delta\lambda\vec{\mu}t \gt \vec{0}$. Thus, by $F_{i}\in\mathscr{C}\subset\mathscr{D}$, $i=1,2$, Lemma 4.2, (3.7) and (4.6), it holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$ that
For $I_7(\vec{x},t)$, it follows that
By (3.11) and Lemma 4.2, we get that, uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$,
Clearly, for $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$ and $\delta\in(0,\min\{1, \gamma_1/\lambda\mu_{1}-1, \gamma_2/\lambda\mu_{2}-1\})$, it holds that $\vec{x}-(1+\delta)\lambda\vec{\mu}t\geq\vec{\gamma}t-(1+\delta)\lambda\vec{\mu}t \gt \vec{0}$. Then by Lemmas 3.1 and 4.2, we prove that, uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$,
Further, by $\overline{F}_{i}\in\mathscr{C}\subset\mathscr{D}$, $i=1,2$, the arbitrariness of $\delta\in(0,\min\{1, \gamma_1/\lambda\mu_{1}-1, \gamma_2/\lambda\mu_{2}-1\})$, and $1-(1+\delta)\lambda\mu_{i}/\gamma_{i} \gt 0$, $i=1,2$, it holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$ that
Hence, by substituting (4.9) and (4.10) into (4.8), and using relation (3.7), we show that, uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$,
For $I_8(\vec{x},t)$, by Proposition 2.2 of Bingham et al. (1987), we know that if $F_i\in\mathscr{D}$, $i=1,2$, then for any $p_i \gt J_{F_i}^+$, there exist positive constants Ci and Di, such that
holds for all $x_i\geq y_i\geq D_i$, $i=1,2.$ Then, we have
By (1.4), (4.12), and Lemma 4.1, it holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$ that
Again by (4.12), fixing the variable yi leads to
where $\hat{C_i}=C_iy_{i}^{-p_i}(\overline{F}_{i}(y_i))^{-1}$, $i=1,2$. Thus, by (4.12), (4.15) and Lemma 4.1, we obtain that, uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$,
Similarly, we still obtain that, uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma} t$,
By (4.15) and Lemma 4.1, it holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$ that
Consequently, we substitute (4.14), (4.16)–(4.18) into (4.13) to derive that, uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$,
where the last step comes from (3.7). Further by (4.5), (4.7), (4.11), and (4.19), we prove that relation (3.13) holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$ under the conditions of Theorem 2.2.
As a result, we show from the uniformity of (3.9) and (3.13) for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$ that relation (2.3) still holds uniformly for all $\vec{x}\geq\vec{\gamma}t$.
4.3. Proof of Corollary 2.2
Similarly to the proof of Corollary 2.1, we prove Corollary 2.2 by copying the proof of Theorem 2.2 with some modifications as follows:
1. $\vec{L}(t)$, $\vec{x}$, $\vec{X}_{i}$, $\vec{c}$, $\vec{\mu}$, $\vec{\gamma}$ and $\vec{0}$ are replaced by ${L}(t)$, x, ${X}_{i}$, c, µ, γ, and 0, respectively.
2. For $i=1,2$, $\overline{F}_i$, xi, ci, γi and µi are replaced by $\overline{F}$, x, c, γ, and µ, respectively.
3. The uniform asymptotic lower bound of (2.5) that relation (3.19) holds uniformly for all $x\geq\gamma t$ can be given by substituting (3.15), (4.3) and (4.4) into (4.2) with $\vec{L}(t)$, $\vec{x}$, $\vec{X}_{i}$ and $\vec{c}$ replaced by ${L}(t)$, x, ${X}_{i}$ and c, respectively.
4. Relation (4.7) is changed to
(4.20)\begin{eqnarray} I_6(x,t)=o(1)\lambda t\overline{F}(x)=o(1)\lambda t\overline{F}(x+ct-\lambda\mu t) \end{eqnarray}holding uniformly for all $x\geq\gamma t$, which is due to $F\in\mathscr{C}\subset\mathscr{D}$, Lemma 4.2, (3.17), and the fact that
\begin{align*} &P\left(\sum_{i=1}^{(1-\delta)\lambda t}{X_{i}}-(1-\delta)\lambda{\mu} t \gt {x}-(1-\delta)\lambda{\mu} t\right)\nonumber\\ &\sim(1-\delta)\lambda t\overline{F}(x-(1-\delta)\lambda\mu t)\nonumber\\ &\leq(\lambda t)^2\overline{F}\left(\left(1-\frac{(1-\delta)\lambda\mu}{\gamma}\right)x\right), \end{align*}holding uniformly for all $x\geq\gamma t$ resulted from Theorem 3.1 of [Reference Ng22] instead of Lemma 3.1.
5. Relation (4.9) is changed to
(4.21)\begin{align} I_{71}(x,t)&\leq I_{4}(x,t)P\left(\left|\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{(1-\delta)\lambda t}\theta_{i}}{(1-\delta)t}-1\right|\leq\delta\right)\nonumber\\ &\sim \lambda t\overline{F}(x+c t-\lambda\mu t) \end{align}holding uniformly for all $x\geq\gamma t$, which is due to (3.20) and Lemma 4.2.
6. Relation (4.10) is changed to
(4.22)\begin{eqnarray} I_{72}({x},t)=o(1)\lambda t\overline{F}(x). \end{eqnarray}holding uniformly for all $x\geq\gamma t$, where we used $\overline{F}\in\mathscr{C}\subset\mathscr{D}$, the arbitrariness of $\delta\in(0,\min\{1, \gamma/\lambda\mu-1\})$, $1-(1+\delta)\lambda\mu/\gamma \gt 0$, and the fact that
\begin{align*} I_{72}(x,t) &\leq P\left(\sum_{i=1}^{(1+\delta)\lambda t}{X_{i}} \gt {x}\right)P\left(\left|\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{(1-\delta)\lambda t}\theta_{i}}{(1-\delta)t}-1\right| \gt \delta\right)\\ &= P\left(\sum_{i=1}^{(1+\delta)\lambda t}{X_{i}}-(1+\delta)\lambda{\mu}t \gt {x}-(1+\delta)\lambda{\mu}t\right)P\left(\left|\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{(1-\delta)\lambda t}\theta_{i}}{(1-\delta)t}-1\right| \gt \delta\right)\\ &= o(1)(1+\delta)\lambda t\overline{F}(x-(1+\delta)\lambda\mu t)\\ &= o(1)(1+\delta)\lambda t\overline{F}\left(\left(1-\frac{(1+\delta)\lambda\mu}{\gamma}\right)x\right) \end{align*}holding uniformly for all $x\geq\gamma t$ resulted from Theorem 3.1 of [Reference Ng22] and Lemma 4.2.
7. By substituting (4.21) and (4.22) into (4.8) with $\vec{x}$, $\vec{X}_{i}$ and $\vec{c}$ replaced by x, ${X}_{i}$ and c, respectively, relation (4.11) is changed to
(4.23)\begin{eqnarray} I_{7}(\vec{x},t)\lesssim\lambda t\overline{F}(x+c t-\lambda\mu t). \end{eqnarray}holding uniformly for all $x\geq\gamma t$, where we used (3.17) instead of (3.7).
8. Relation (4.12) is changed to that for any $p \gt J_{F}^+$, there exist positive constants C and D such that
(4.24)\begin{eqnarray} \frac{\overline{F}(y)}{\overline{F}(x)}\leq C\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^{p}, \end{eqnarray}holds for all $x\geq y\geq D$.
9. The derivation of $I_8({x},t)$ is reformulated as
(4.25)\begin{align} I_8({x},t) &\leq P\left(\sum_{i=1}^{N(t)}{X_{i}} \gt {x}, N(t) \gt (1+\delta)\lambda t\right)\nonumber\\ &= \sum_{n \gt (1+\delta)\lambda t}P\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}{X_{i}} \gt {x}\right)P(N(t)=n)\nonumber\\ &= \left(\begin{aligned} &\sum_{(1+\delta)\lambda t \lt n \lt \frac{x}{D}}+\sum_{n \gt \frac{x}{D}}\end{aligned} \right)P\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}{X_{i}} \gt {x}\right)P(N(t)=n)\nonumber\\ &=I_{81}({x},t)+I_{82}({x},t). \end{align}By (4.24) and Lemma 4.1, it holds uniformly for all $x\geq\gamma t$ that
(4.26)\begin{align} I_{81}({x},t)&\leq \sum_{(1+\delta)\lambda t \lt n \lt \frac{x}{D}}n\overline{F}\left(\frac{x}{n}\right)P(N(t)=n)\nonumber\\ &\leq C\overline{F}(x)\sum_{(1+\delta)\lambda t \lt n \lt \frac{x}{D}}n^{p+1}P(N(t)=n)\nonumber\\ &\leq C\overline{F}(x)EN^{p+1}(t){\mathbf{1}}_{\{N(t) \gt (1+\delta)\lambda t\}}\nonumber\\ &= o(1)\overline{F}(x)\nonumber\\ &= o(1)\lambda t\overline{F}(x). \end{align}Fixing the variable y in (4.24) yields that
(4.27)\begin{eqnarray} x^{-p}\leq\hat{C}\overline{F}(x), \end{eqnarray}where $\hat{C}=Cy^{-p}(\overline{F}(y))^{-1}$. Hence, by (4.27) and Lemma 4.1, it holds uniformly for all $x\geq\gamma t$ that
(4.28)\begin{align} I_{82}({x},t)&\leq \sum_{n \gt \frac{x}{D}}\left(\frac{nD}{x}\right)^{p}P(N(t)=n)\nonumber\\ &\leq D^{p}x^{-p}EN^{p}(t){\mathbf{1}}_{\{N(t) \gt \frac{x}{D}\}}\nonumber\\ &\leq D^{p}\hat{C}\overline{F}(x)EN^{p}(t){\mathbf{1}}_{\{N(t) \gt \frac{x}{D}\}}\nonumber\\ &= o(1)\overline{F}(x)\nonumber\\ &= o(1)\lambda t\overline{F}(x). \end{align}Therefore, by substituting (4.26) and (4.28) into (4.25), we obtain that, uniformly for all ${x}\geq{\gamma}t$,
(4.29)\begin{eqnarray} I_{8}({x},t)=o(1)\lambda t \overline{F}(x)=o(1)\lambda t\overline{F}(x+ct-\lambda\mu t), \end{eqnarray}where the last step comes from (3.17).
Further by substituting (4.20), (4.23) and (4.29) into (4.5) with $\vec{L}(t)$ and $\vec{x}$ replaced by ${L}(t)$ and x, respectively, we show that relation (3.22) holds uniformly for all ${x}\geq{\gamma}t$, which is the uniform asymptotic upper bound of (2.5) under the conditions of Corollary 2.2, and thus this proof is completed.
