TITLE: Joint tail of randomly weighted sums under generalized quasi asymptotic independence.

ABSTRACT: In this paper we revisited the classical problem of max-sum equivalence of randomly (weighted) sums in two dimensions. In opposite to the most papers in literature, we consider that there exist some inderdependence between the primary random variables, which is achieved by a combination of a new dependence structure with some two-dimensional heavy-tailed classes of distributions. Further we introduce a new approach in two-dimensional regular varying distributions, and we study some closure properties of this, and of other two-dimensional classes. Our results contain the finite-time ruin probability in a two-dimensional discrete time risk model. (Joint work with Charalampos D. Passalidis.)
