dc.descriptionWe develop nonlinear renewal theorems for a perturbed random walk without assuming stochastic boundedness of centered perturbation terms. A second order expansion of the expected stopping time is obtained via the uniform integrability of the difference between certain linear and nonlinear stopping rules. An intermediate renewal theorem is obtained which provides expansions between the nonlinear versions of the elementary and regular renewal theorems. The expected sample size of a two-sample rank sequential probability ratio test is considered as the motivating example.
