Invariance principles are obtained for a Markov process on a half-line with continuous paths on the interior. The domains of attraction of the two different types of self-similar processes are investigated. Our approach is to establish…
In this paper we introduce a new class of L\'evy processes which we call hypergeometric-stable L\'evy processes, because they are obtained from symmetric stable processes through several transformations and where the Gauss hypergeometric…
We introduce the headway exclusion process which is an exclusion process with $N$ particles on the one-dimensional discrete torus with $L$ sites with jump rates that depend only on the distance to the next particle in the direction of the…
We characterise, in terms of their transition laws, the class of one-dimensional L\'evy processes whose graph has a continuously differentiable (planar) convex hull. We show that this phenomenon is exhibited by a broad class of infinite…
We use the concept of excursions for the prediction of random variables without any moment existence assumptions. To do so, an excursion metric on the space of random variables is defined which appears to be a kind of a weighted…
In this paper we investigate functions that are harmonic with respect to the non-symmetric strictly $\alpha$-stable L\'evy processes on an open set $D \in \mathbb{R}^d$. We obtain the explicit formula for their boundary decay rate at parts…
We present a new approach to fluctuation identities for reflected L\'{e}vy processes with one-sided jumps. This approach is based on a number of easy to understand observations and does not involve excursion theory or It\^{o} calculus. It…
Our interest in this paper is to explore limit theorems for various geometric functionals of excursion sets of isotropic Gaussian random fields. In the past, limit theorems have been proven for various geometric functionals of excursion…
We study discrete-time stochastic processes $(X_t)$ on $[0,\infty)$ with asymptotically zero mean drifts. Specifically, we consider the critical (Lamperti-type) situation in which the mean drift at $x$ is about $c/x$. Our focus is the…
As a generalization of scale functions of spectrally negative L\'evy processes, we define scale functions of general standard processes with no positive jumps. For this purpose, we utilize excursion measures. Using our new scale functions…
We give an overview of the recent asymptotic results on the geometry of excursion sets of stationary random fields. Namely, we cover a number of limit theorems of central type for the volume of excursions of stationary (quasi--, positively…
Studying the geometry generated by Gaussian and Gaussian- related random fields via their excursion sets is now a well developed and well understood subject. The purely non-Gaussian scenario has, however, not been studied at all. In this…
Truncated L\'{e}vy flights are random walks in which the arbitrarily large steps of a L\'{e}vy flight are eliminated. Since this makes the variance finite, the central limit theorem applies, and as time increases the probability…
For a spectrally negative L\'evy process, scale functions appear in the solution of two-sided exit problems, and in particular in relation with the Laplace transform of the first time it exits a closed interval. In this paper, we consider…
We prove Gaussian tail estimates for the transition probability of $n$ particles evolving as symmetric exclusion processes on $\bb Z^d$, improving results obtained in \cite{l}. We derive from this result a non-equilibrium Boltzmann-Gibbs…
Complex systems are sometimes subject to non Gaussian alpha stable Levy fluctuations. A new method is devised to estimate this uncertain parameter and other system parameters, using observations on either mean exit time or escape…
This article considers the statistical properties of L\'evy walks possessing a regular long-term linear scaling of the mean square displacement with time, for which the conditions of the classical Central Limit Theorem apply.…
The L\'evy walk process for the lower interval of the time of flight distribution ($\alpha<1$) and with finite resting time between consecutive flights is discussed. The motion is restricted to a region bounded by two absorbing barriers and…
We consider the motion of an overdamped particle in a periodic potential lacking spatial symmetry under the influence of symmetric L\'evy noise, being a minimal setup for a ``L\'evy ratchet.'' Due to the non-thermal character of the L\'evy…
The generalized correlation approach, which has been successfully used in statistical radio physics to describe non-Gaussian random processes, is proposed to describe stochastic financial processes. The generalized correlation approach has…
