$lim_{xrightarrow+infty}...

$begingroup$


I have met with a probability problem which I have no idea to deal with. It says:



Let $alpha>0$, $betageq0$, prove:



$lim_{xrightarrow+infty} x^{alpha+beta}mathbb{P}(|X|>x)=0Leftrightarrowlim_{xrightarrow+infty}x^{alpha}mathbb{E}||X|^{beta}cdot1_{{|X|>x}}|=0$.



The sufficiency is easy to prove. However, I have no ideas how to prove the necessity. Can you give me some advice? Any hints would be appreciated.



Thanks for your time and patience.

          You can simplify the statement by writing $Y$ for $|X|^{beta}$ and repalcing $x^{beta} $ by $t$. The statement then becomes the following: $t^{1+s}P(Y>t) to 0$ iff $t^{s}EYI_{Y>t} to 0$ as $t to infty$.[Here $s=frac {alpha} {beta}$. I will leave the case $beta=0$ to you]. As noted by you the íf'part follows easily by Chebychev's Inequality. For the ónly if'part write $t^{s}EYI_{Y>t} to 0$ as $t^{s}int_t^{infty} P(Y>u)du$ which is less than or equal to $t^{s}int_t^{infty} epsilon u^{-1-s}du=epsilon$ for $t$ sufficiently large.

          Suppose
          $lim_{xto infty} x^{alpha+beta}P(|X|>x) = 0$.
          Note that
          begin{align}
          E[|X|^beta cdot 1_{|X|>x}]
          &= P(|X|>x)E[|X|^beta | |X| > x] \
          &= x^beta P(|X|>x) E[|X/x|^beta | |X/x|>1] \
          &le x^beta P(|X|>x) E[|X|^beta], quad text{for large $x$}.
          end{align}

          Note that for large $x$, $|X/x| < |X|$, and thus
          $|X/x|^beta < |X|^beta$.



          Assuming $E[|X|^beta] < infty$,
          $$
          lim_{x to infty} x^alpha E[|X|^beta cdot 1_{|X|>x}] = 0.
          $$

            Thanks. But I do not know why the first equation holds. In fact, on the right hand $mathbb{E}[|X|^{beta}| |X|>x]$ is a random variable, but the left hand is a scalar, though a similar formula holds when $mathbb{E}$ changes to $mathbb{P}$.

As noted by you the íf'part follows easily by Chebychev's Inequality.
