A Note on Second Order Conditions in Extreme Value Theory: Linking General and Heavy Tail Conditions
Second order conditions ruling the rate of convergence in any first order condition involving regular variation and assuring a unified extreme value limiting distribution function for the sequence of maximum values, linearly normalized, have appeared in

Topological regular variation: I. Slow variation
The authors extend and unify the multivariate regular variation literature by a reformulation in the language of topological dynamics. They use metric groups and study convergence and divergence of self-homeomorphisms in a normed topological group. The authors define a general form of slow variation on a metric space \(S\) that includes and extends ...

In this paper we consider the rate of convergence of solutions of a scalar ordinary differential equation which is a perturbed version of an autonomous equation with a globally stable equilibrium.

A note on asymptotics and nonoscillation of linear $q$-difference equations
We study the linear second order $q$-difference equation $y(q^2t)+a(t)y(qt)+b(t)y(t)=0$ on the $q$-uniform lattice $\{q^k:k\in\mathbb{N}_0\}$ with $q>1$, where $b(t)\ne0$. We establish various conditions guaranteeing the existence of solutions satisfying

A direct approach to the stable distributions [PDF]
The explicit form for the characteristic function of a stable distribution on the line is derived analytically by solving the associated functional equation and applying theory of regular variation, without appeal to the general L\'evy-Khintchine ...

Asymptotic behavior of positive solutions of a semilinear Dirichlet problem in the annulus [PDF]
In this paper, we establish existence and asymptotic behavior of a positive classical solution to the following semilinear boundary value problem: \[-\Delta u=q(x)u^{\sigma }\;\text{in}\;\Omega,\quad u_{|\partial\Omega}=0.\] Here \(\Omega\) is an annulus

Regular variation of GARCH processes [PDF]
We show that the finite-dimensional distributions of a GARCH process are regularly varying, i.e., the tails of these distributions are Pareto-like and hence heavy-tailed. Regular variation of the joint distributions provides insight into the moment properties of the process as well as the dependence structure between neighboring observations when both ...

Top Incomes, Heavy Tails, and Rank-Size Regressions
In economics, rank-size regressions provide popular estimators of tail exponents of heavy-tailed distributions. We discuss the properties of this approach when the tail of the distribution is regularly varying rather than strictly Pareto.
