Abstract

In the present paper we show that the Levy-Ito representation of the infinitesimal generator LL for Levy processes XtX_t can be written in a convolution-type form. Using the obtained convolution form we have constructed the quasi-potential operator BB. We denote by p(t,Δ)p(t,\Delta) the probability that a sample of the process XtX_t remains inside the domain Δ\Delta for 0τt0{\leq}\tau{\leq}t (ruin problem). With the help of the operator BB we find a new formula for p(t,Δ)p(t,\Delta). This formula allows us to obtain long time behavior of p(t,Δ)p(t,\Delta).
