Abstract

Let (Ut,Vt)(U_t,V_t) be a bivariate L\'evy process, where VtV_t is a subordinator and UtU_t is a L\'evy process formed by randomly weighting each jump of VtV_t by an independent random variable XtX_t having cdf FF. We investigate the asymptotic distribution of the self-normalized L\'evy process Ut/VtU_t/V_t at 0 and at \infty. We show that all subsequential limits of this ratio at 0 (\infty) are continuous for any nondegenerate FF with finite expectation if and only if VtV_t belongs to the centered Feller class at 0 (\infty). We also characterize when Ut/VtU_t/V_t has a non-degenerate limit distribution at 0 and \infty.
