“…However, the same asymptotics for τ x and ν x may be obtained for any distributions satisfying the asymptotic equivalence P{S n > na} ∼ nP{ξ 1 > na}. For instance, from the results of [20] it follows that such asymptotics hold for regularly varying distributions. The results of [27] imply that the same holds for Weibull-type distributions with a parameter smaller than 1/2.…”
We study the exact asymptotics for the distribution of the first time τ x a Lévy process X t crosses a negative level −x. We prove that P(τ x > t) ∼ V (x)P(X t ≥ 0)/t as t → ∞ for a certain function V (x). Using known results for the large deviations of random walks we obtain asymptotics for P(τ x > t) explicitly in both light and heavy tailed cases. We also apply our results to find asymptotics for the distribution of the busy period in an M/G/1 queue.

We consider a one dimensional random walk in random environment that is uniformly biased to one direction. In addition to the transition probability, the jump rate of the random walk is assumed to be spatially inhomogeneous and random. We study the probability that the random walk travels slower than its typical speed and determine its decay rate asymptotic.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 60K37; 60F10; 60J75.
“…In particular, this result implies that the standard Large Deviation Principle is not satisfied. For the asymptotic upper bound we have to appeal on the mathematical analysis originally started by Heyde [8,9] and Nagaev [10,11]. The q-exponential distribution belongs to the class of distributions they consider.…”

“…Mathematicians have studied large deviations in the context of probability distributions with a fat tail starting with the works of Heyde [8,9] and Nagaev [10,11]. See also [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19].…”
We study large deviation properties of probability distributions with either
a compact support or a fat tail by comparing them with q-deformed exponential
distributions. Our main result is a large deviation property for probability
distributions with a fat tail.Comment: typos corrected, some addtional explanations, version to appear in
