Seminar on Stohastics
PROGRAM
Recently several authors have introduced classes of functions of several variables that are multivariate regularly varying. Such functions behave asymptotically as homogeneous functions. In the talk we discuss several possible definitions and properties of multivariate regularly varying functions. Next we discuss several possible applications such as multivariate limit theorems for the partial sum or partial maxima of i.i.d. random vectors, multivariate renewal theory, the difference between the distribution functions of partial sums and partial maxima of random vectors.

Dr Jurij Hohlov (Rusija): Stable Distributions and Their Applications
Stable distributions occur as the limit ones for normalized partial sums of i.i.d. real-valued random variables. We consider various generalizations of this scheme: semistable, operator stable distributions, stable and semistable distributions on groups, pseudostable distributions in Gnedenko problem and others. Special interest is the description of the domains of attraction. Stable and semistable distributions are solutions of special functional equation of convolution type. In multidimensional case the solution of such equation is a very interesting open problem. We consider some special cases.
