Scale functions of space-time changed processes with no positive jumps

Probability 2023-09-19 v1

Abstract

The scale functions were defined for spectrally negative L\'evy processes and other strong Markov processes with no positive jumps, and have been used to characterize their behavior. In particular, I defined the scale functions for standard processes with no positive jumps using the excursion measures in Noba(2020). In this paper, we consider a standard process XX with no positive jumps and a standard process YY defined by the space-time change of XX. We express the scale functions of YY using the scale functions of XX defined in Noba(2020) and the Volterra integral equation. From this result, we can express the scale functions of some important processes, such as positive or negative self-similar Markov processes with no positive jumps and continuous-state branching processes, using the scale function of spectrally negative L\'evy processes and the Volterra integral equations.
