Regular variation of the normalizing sequence (Stage 2) #
Source lines 846–853 (inventory B06): under (H_α) the normalizing sequence (a_n) is regularly
varying of index 1/α, i.e. a_n / n^{1/α} is slowly varying. The paper cites Feller; here it
is derived from the convergence S_n / a_n → Y_α by a convergence-of-types argument on the
moduli of characteristic functions:
PoissonDeclumping.Stable.tendsto_div_of_tendsto_div: ifm'_n / n → κ > 0thena_n / a_{m'_n} → κ^{-1/α}(Bolzano–Weierstrass onu/(1+u), identification of the limit through|φ(1/a_{m'})|^{m'} = (|φ(u/a_n)|^n)^{m'/n}and|E e^{itY_α}| = exp(cos(πα/2)|t|^α));PoissonDeclumping.Stable.regularlyVaryingSeq:RegularlyVaryingSeq (1/α) a;PoissonDeclumping.Stable.slowlyVarying:x ↦ a_{⌊x⌋} / x^{1/α}is slowly varying;PoissonDeclumping.Stable.tendsto_atTop:a_n → ∞.
No truncated-second-moment criterion is assumed; the proof starts from normalized weak convergence.
Convergence of types for the normalizing sequence: if m'_n / n → κ > 0 then
a_n / a_{m'_n} → κ^{-1/α}.
a_{m'_n} / a_n → κ^{1/α} when m'_n / n → κ > 0.
Regular variation of (a_n) (source lines 850–851): a_{⌊cn⌋} / a_n → c^{1/α}.
a_n → ∞.
a_{n+1} / a_n → 1.
a_n / n^{1/α} is slowly varying (source line 850, in the sense of
PoissonDeclumping.SlowlyVarying, with a_x := a_{⌊x⌋} for real x).
