摘要：

We derive an asymptotic expansion for the distribution of a compound sum of independent random variables, all having the same rapidly varying subexponential distribution. The examples of a Poisson and geometric number of summands serve as an illustration of the main result. Complete calculations are done for a Weibull distribution, with which we derive, as examples and without any difficulties, seven-term expansions.
