Abstract

We construct `self-stabilizing' processes {Z(t), t [t0,t1)\in [t_0,t_1)}. These are random processes which when `localized', that is scaled around t to a fine limit, have the distribution of an α\alpha(Z(t))-stable process, where α\alpha is some given function on R. Thus the stability index at t depends on the value of the process at t. Here we address the case where α\alpha: R \to (0,1). We first construct deterministic functions which satisfy a kind of autoregressive property involving sums over a plane point set Π\Pi. Taking Π\Pi to be a Poisson point process then defines a random pure jump process, which we show has the desired localized distributions.
