Let $F$ be a distribution function (d.f) in the domain of attraction of an extreme value distribution $H_{\gamma }$; it is well-known that $F_u\left(x\right)$, where $F_u$ is the d.f of the excesses over $u$, converges, when $u$ tends to $s_{+}\left(F\right)$, the end-point of $F$, to $G_{\gamma }\left(\frac{x}{\sigma \left(u\right)}\right)$, where $G_{\gamma }$ is the d.f. of the Generalized Pareto Distribution. We provide conditions that ensure that there exists, for $\gamma \>-1$, a function $\Lambda$ which verifies ${lim}_{u\to s_{+}\left(F\right)}\Lambda \left(u\right)=\gamma$ and is such that $\Delta \left(u\right)={sup}_{x\in [0,s_{+}\left(F\right)-u[}|{\overline{F}}_u\left(x\right)-{\overline{G}}_{\Lambda \left(u\right)}(x/\sigma \left(u\right))|$ converges to $0$ faster than $d\left(u\right)={sup}_{x\in [0,s_{+}\left(F\right)-u[}|{\overline{F}}_u\left(x\right)-{\overline{G}}_{\gamma }(x/\sigma \left(u\right))|$.

In this paper we prove two results. The first is an extension of the result of G. D. Jones [4]: (A) Every nontrivial solution for $$\left\}\begin{array}{c}{(-1)}^n{u}^{\left(2n\right)}+f(t,u)=0,\text{in}(\alpha ,\infty ),u^{\left(i\right)}\left(\xi \right)=0,i=0,1,\cdots ,n-1,\text{and}\xi \in (\alpha ,\infty ),\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ must be unbounded, provided $f(t,z)z\ge 0$, in $E\times ℝ$ and for every bounded subset $I$, $f(t,z)$ is bounded in $E\times I$. (B) Every bounded solution for ${(-1)}^n{u}^{\left(2n\right)}+f(t,u)=0$, in $ℝ$, must be constant, provided $f(t,z)z\ge 0$ in $ℝ\times ℝ$ and for every bounded subset $I$, $f(t,z)$ is bounded in $ℝ\times I$.

A function $f:ℝ\to ℝ$ is said to have the $n$-th Laplace derivative on the right at $x$ if $f$ is continuous in a right neighborhood of $x$ and there exist real numbers ${\alpha }_0,...,{\alpha }_{n-1}$ such that $s^{n+1}{\int }_0^{\delta }{e}^{-st}[f(x+t)-{\sum }_{i=0}^{n-1}{\alpha }_i{t}^i/i!]dt$ converges as $s\to +\infty$ for some $\delta >0$. There is a corresponding definition on the left. The function is said to have the $n$-th Laplace derivative at $x$ when these two are equal, the common value is denoted by $f_{\langle n\rangle }\left(x\right)$. In this work we establish the basic properties of this new derivative and show that, by an example, it is more general than...

The non-commutative neutrix product of the distributions $ln{x}_{+}$ and $x_{+}^{-s}$ is proved to exist for $s=1,2,...$ and is evaluated for $s=1,2$. The existence of the non-commutative neutrix product of the distributions $x_{+}^{-r}$ and $x_{+}^{-s}$ is then deduced for $r,s=1,2,...$ and evaluated for $r=s=1$.
