## Nonexponential asymptotics for the solutions of renewal equations, with applications.(English)Zbl 1125.60090

The aim of this paper is to study the asymptotic behavior of the solution $$Z$$ of the renewal solution associated to two special types of distribution. The paper also provides three applications concerning a deterministic population model, a pricing a perpetual put option and the case of terminating renewal processes), obtained for particular forms of the initial renewal equation.
