Asymptotic Tail Behaviour of Poisson Mixtures with Applications

Zusammenfassung:This expository paper deals with the right tail behaviour of a class of Poisson mixtures. An Abelian-type result is obtained using basic theory of regular variation. Applications to compound distributions in insurance risk theory and queue length distributions under various queue disciplines in the case of Poisson arrivals are then discussed.
