On tails of symmetric and totally asymmetric $\alpha$-stable~distributions

Abstract:

We estimate up to universal constants tails of symmetric and totally asymmetric 1-dimensional α-stable distributions in terms of functions of the parameters of these distributions. In particular, for values of \(\alpha\) close to \(2\) we specify where exactly the tail changes from being Gaussian and starts to behave like in the Pareto distribution.
