Compound Sums and Subexponentiality

We investigate compound distributions - for example, compound mixed Poisson distributions - in the case where the summands, the mixing distribution or the number of summands are subexponential. It is shown that such distributions are subexponential. As an illustration the tail of the maximum of a Bj...
