It is known that the positivity condition plays an important role in theorems of Hardy-Littlewood type. In the multi-dimensional case this condition can be relaxed significantly by replacing it with the condition of sign-definiteness on trajectories along which asymptotic properties are investigated. A number of theorems are proved in this paper that demonstrate this effect. Our main tool is a theorem on division of tempered distributions by a homogeneous polynomial, preserving the corresponding quasi-asymptotics. The results obtained are used to study the asymptotic behaviour at a boundary point of holomorphic functions in tubular domains over cones.
