    Abstract

    Suppose that {Sn, n ≧ 0} is an asymptotically stable random walk. Let g be a positive function and Tg be the first time when Sn leaves [-g(n), ∞). In this paper we study asymptotic behavior of Tg. We provide integral tests for function g that guarantee P(Tg > n) ∼ V (g)P(T0 > n), where T0 is the first strict descending ladder epoch of {Sn}.
