Abstract

Extreme-value theory is considered in the context of independent but not identically distributed random variables. The departure from the case of identical distributions comes from a trend added to i.i.d. observations. Unlike previous authors we consider trends that do not completely destroy the asymptotic behaviour from the i.i.d. case.
