Abstract

The improper stochastic integral Z=0exp(Xs)dYsZ=\int_0^{\infty-}\exp(-X_{s-})dY_s is studied, where {(Xt,Yt),t0}\{(X_t, Y_t), t \geqslant 0 \} is a L\'evy process on R1+d\mathbb R ^{1+d} with {Xt}\{X_t \} and {Yt}\{Y_t \} being R\mathbb R-valued and Rd\mathbb R ^d-valued, respectively. The condition for existence and finiteness of ZZ is given and then the law L(Z)\mathcal L(Z) of ZZ is considered. Some sufficient conditions for L(Z)\mathcal L(Z) to be selfdecomposable and some sufficient conditions for L(Z)\mathcal L(Z) to be non-selfdecomposable but semi-selfdecomposable are given. Attention is paid to the case where d=1d=1, {Xt}\{X_t\} is a Poisson process, and {Xt}\{X_t\} and {Yt}\{Y_t\} are independent. An example of ZZ of type GG with selfdecomposable mixing distribution is given.
