These milestone results have numerous applications in a variety of problems in pure and applied probability. We study both invertible matrices and positive matrices, and obtain Bahadur-Rao-Petrov type results for $P( \log |G_nx| > n(q+l))$, where $G_n := g_n \cdots g_1$ is the product of independent and identically distributed $d\times d$ real random matrices $g_i$, $|G_n x|$ denotes the norm of $G_nx$, $x$ is a starting point on the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^d$. As applications we improve previous results on large deviation principles for the matrix norm of $G_n$, and obtain a precise local limit theorem with large deviations. 【关闭窗口】
