Integrated tail of the Gaussian branch #

The integrated-tail asymptotic is the B3-b result for the index-two branch. Ported from BGWLeaves/StableAnalysis/GaussianBranch.lean of the author's arXiv:1110.2163v4 formalization (local snapshot of 6 November 2026).

5. (B3-b) The integrated tail #

(B3-b) Let ν be a probability law on ℤ with ν {z < -1} = 0 and finite mean, such that K = truncSecondMoment ν is slowly varying and unbounded. Then the integrated tail J(x) = ∫₀ˣ E[(Z - u)⁺] du (E[(Z-u)⁺] = ∫_u^∞ ν{z > v} dv, see integral_max_sub_eq_integral_tail) satisfies J(x) / (K(x)/2) → 1.

Use: for the Laplace transform ℓ(s) = E e^{-s Z} one has the exact identity ℓ(s) - 1 + m s = s² ∫₀^∞ e^{-su} E[(Z-u)⁺] du + (explicit atom at -1), so (via the Laplace–Karamata Abelian theorem applied to U = J) ℓ(s) - 1 + m s ~ s² J(1/s) ~ s² K(1/s) / 2 as s → 0+.

The excess E[(Z-u)⁺] equals the integrated tail ∫_u^∞ ν{z > v} dv.
