Scaling limit for supercritical nearly unstable Hawkes processes with heavy tail

Probability 2025-04-25 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we establish the asymptotic behavior of {\it supercritical} nearly unstable Hawkes processes with a power law kernel. We find that, the Hawkes process in our context admits a similar equation to that in \cite{MR3563196} for {\it subcritical} case. In particular, the rescaled Hawkes process (Zntn/n2α)t[0,1](Z^n_{nt}/n^{2\alpha})_{t\in[0,1]} converges in law to a kind of integrated fractional Cox Ingersoll Ross process with different coefficients from that in \cite{MR3563196}, as nn tends to infinity.
