Abstract

A self-stabilizing processes {Z(t),t[t0,t1)}\{Z(t), t\in [t_0,t_1)\} is a random process which when localized, that is scaled to a fine limit near a given t[t0,t1)t\in [t_0,t_1), has the distribution of an α(Z(t))\alpha(Z(t))-stable process, where α:R(0,2)\alpha: \mathbb{R}\to (0,2) is a given continuous function. Thus the stability index near tt depends on the value of the process at tt. In an earlier paper we constructed self-stabilizing processes using sums over plane Poisson point processes in the case of α:R(0,1)\alpha: \mathbb{R}\to (0,1) which depended on the almost sure absolute convergence of the sums. Here we construct pure jump self-stabilizing processes when α\alpha may take values greater than 1 when convergence may no longer be absolute. We do this in two stages, firstly by setting up a process based on a fixed point set but taking random signs of the summands, and then randomizing the point set to get a process with the desired local properties.
