We consider the combined effects of a power law L\'{e}vy step distribution characterized by the step index $f$ and a power law waiting time distribution characterized by the time index $g$ on the long time behavior of a random walker. The…

L\'evy walk process is one of the most effective models to describe superdiffusion, which underlies some important movement patterns and has been widely observed in the micro and macro dynamics. From the perspective of random walk theory,…

This paper enhances the classical Solow model of economic growth by integrating L\'evy noise, a type of non-Gaussian stochastic perturbation, to capture the inherent uncertainties in economic systems. The extended model examines the impact…

We study a queueing network with a strictly upper-triangular routing matrix, where each column contains at most one non-negative entry, and the root node receives input from a spectrally positive L\'{e}vy process. Our aim is to characterize…

The main purpose of the paper is an essentially probabilistic analysis of relativistic quantum mechanics. It is based on the assumption that whenever probability distributions arise, there exists a stochastic process that is either…

We establish exponential ergodicity for the stochastic Hamiltonian system $(X_t, V_t)_{t\ge0}$ on $\mathbb{R}^{2d}$ with L\'evy noises \begin{align*} \begin{cases} \mathrm{d} X_t=\big(a X_t+bV_t\big)\,\mathrm{d} t,\\ \mathrm{d}…

This paper investigates L\'evy walks with random velocities, extending classical models beyond constant speed assumptions. We derive scaling limits, demonstrating that diffusion depends on interplay between heavy-tailed duration and…

Let $A_\pm>0$, $\beta\in(0,1)$, and let $Z^{(\alpha)}$ be a strictly $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process with the jump measure $\nu(\mathrm{d} z)=(C_+\mathbb{I}_{(0,\infty)}(z)+ C_-\mathbb{I}_{(-\infty,0)}(z))|z|^{-1-\alpha}\,\mathrm{d} z$,…

We consider controlling the paths of a spectrally negative L\'evy process by two means: the subtraction of `taxes' when the process is at an all-time maximum, and the addition of `bailouts' which keep the value of the process above zero. We…

We develop a stochastic calculus for processes which are built by convoluting a pure jump, zero expectation L\'{e}vy process with a Volterra-type kernel. This class of processes contains, for example, fractional L\'{e}vy processes as…
