Large deviations for Minkowski sums of heavy-tailed generally non-convex random compact sets

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

We prove large deviation results for Minkowski sums of iid random compact sets where
we assume that the summands have a regularly varying distribution. The result confirms
the heavy-tailed large deviation heuristics: “large” values of the sum are essentially due to
the “largest” summand.
