The accuracy of merging approximation in generalized St. Petersburg games
Merging asymptotic expansions of arbitrary length are established for the
distribution functions and for the probabilities of suitably centered and
normalized cumulative winnings in a full sequence of generalized St. Petersburg
games, extending the short expansions due to Cs\"org\H{o}, S., Merging
asymptotic expansions in generalized St. Petersburg games, \textit{Acta Sci.
Math. (Szeged)} \textbf{73} 297--331, 2007. These expansions are given in terms
of suitably chosen members from the classes of subsequential semistable
infinitely divisible asymptotic distribution functions and certain derivatives
of these functions. The length of the expansion depends upon the tail
parameter. Both uniform and nonuniform bounds are presented.Comment: 30 pages long version (to appear in Journal of Theoretical
