Let denote the class of local subexponential distributions and F∗ν the ν-fold convolution of distribution F, where ν belongs to one of the following three cases: ν is a random variable taking only a finite number of values, in particular ν ≡ n for some n ≥ 2; ν is a Poisson random variable; or ν is a geometric random variable. Along the lines of Embrechts, Goldie, and Veraverbeke (1979), the following assertion is proved under certain conditions: This result is applied to the infinitely divisible laws and some new results are established. The results obtained extend the corresponding findings of Asmussen, Foss, and Korshunov (2003).
