Consider a probability distribution subordinate to a subexponential distribution with finite mean. In this paper, we discuss the second order tail behavior of the subordinated distribution within a rather general framework in which we do not require the existence of density functions. For this aim, the so-called second order subexponential distribution is proposed and some of its related properties are established. Our results unify and improve some classical results.NSFC [10926043]; Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities in China [2010121005

In this paper, a new approach is proposed to investigate Blackwell-type renewal theorems for weighted renewal functions systematically according to which of the tails of weighted renewal constants or the underlying distribution is asymptotically heavier. Some classical results are improved considerably.
