Necessary and sufficient conditions for the strong renewal theorem for random walks

Let SS be an aperiodic random walk whose increment distribution belongs to D(α,ρ)D(\alpha,\rho), where α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1) and ρ>0\rho>0. Let and denote the conditions stated in the source, and let denote the strong renewal theorem (SRT). Random-walk strong renewal conjecture. The conditions and are necessary and sufficient for the SRT to hold for any such random walk. The question asks whether the renewal-process result extends to random walks; the supplied text does not establish the assertion or provide evidence that it has been resolved.
