Summary: Let \(\xi_1, \xi_2,\dots\) be independent random variables with distributions \(F_1, F_2,\dots\) in a triangular array scheme (\(F_i\) may depend on some parameter). Assume that \(\mathbf{E}\xi_i=0\), \(\mathbf{E}\xi_i^2< \infty\), and put \(S_n=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\xi_i\), \(\overline{S}_n=\max_{k\leq n} S_k\). Assuming further that some regularly varying functions majorize or minorize the averaged distribution \(F_n=\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^{n}F_i\), we find upper and lower bounds for the probabilities \(\mathbf{P}(S_n>x)\) and \(\mathbf{P}(\overline{S}_n>x)\). We also study the asymptotics of these probabilities and of the probabilities that a trajectory \(\{S_k\}\) crosses the remote boundary \(\{g(k)\}\), that is, the asymptotics of \(\mathbf{P} (\max_{k\leq n} (S_k-g(k))>0)\). The case \(n = \infty\) is not excluded. We also estimate the distribution of the first crossing time.
