The notion of tail adversarial stability has been proven useful in obtaining limit theorems for tail dependent time series. Its implication and advantage over the classical strong mixing framework has been examined for max-linear processes, but not yet studied for additive linear processes. In this article, we fill this gap by verifying the tail adversarial stability condition for regularly varying additive linear processes. We in addition consider extensions of the result to a stochastic volatility generalization and to a max-linear counterpart. We also address the invariance of tail adversarial stability under monotone transforms. Some implications for limit theorems in statistical context are also discussed., Comment: 35 pages

It was recently proved that any strictly stationary stochastic process can be viewed as an autoregressive process of order one with coloured noise. Furthermore, it was proved that, using this characterisation, one can define closed form estimators for the model parameter based on autocovariance estimators for several different lags. However, this estimation procedure may fail in some special cases. In this article we provide a detailed analysis of these special cases. In particular, we prove that these cases correspond to degenerate processes.
