Abstract

We prove several results on the behavior near t = 0 of Y-t t for certain (0,∞)-valued stochastic processes (Y t)t>0. In particular, we show for Lévy subordinators that the Pareto law on [1,∞) is the only possible weak limit and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence. More generally, we also consider the weak convergence of tL(Yt) as t →0 for a decreasing function L that is slowly varying at zero. Various examples demonstrating the applicability of the results are presented.
