Asymptotic Results for Heavy-tailed L\'evy Processes and their Exponential Functionals

Probability 2020-05-29 v3

Abstract

In this paper we first provide several conditional limit theorems for L\'evy processes with negative drift and regularly varying tail. Then we apply them to study the asymptotic behavior of expectations of some exponential functionals of heavy-tailed L\'evy processes. As the key point, we observe that the asymptotics mainly depends on the sample paths with early arrival large jump. Both the polynomial decay rate and the exact expression of the limit coefficients are given. As an application, we give an exact description for the extinction speed of continuous-state branching processes in heavy-tailed L\'evy random environment with stable branching mechanism.
