In this work, we first study the solvability of moment problems involving real exponentials and provide explicit estimates of the associated control cost. The result holds when the increasing sequence of distinct real numbers satisfies a…
We consider the first hitting times of the Bessel processes. We give explicit expressions for the distribution functions and for the densities by means of the zeros of the Bessel functions. The results extend the classical ones and cover…
We study the spectral expansion of the semigroup of a general stable process killed on the first exit from the positive half-line. Starting with the Wiener-Hopf factorization we obtain the q-resolvent density for the killed process, from…
We discuss the Gamma Levy process, including path properties, the inverse process, integrability, and its spin-offs obtained by compounding, exponentiation, and other operations; further extendable to arbitrary sigma-finite continuous Borel…
We consider a class of L\'evy-type processes on which spectral analysis technics can be made to produce optimal results, in particular for the decay rate of their survival probability and for the spectral gap of their ground state…
Kernels of $\alpha$-permanental processes of the form \[ v(x,y)=u(x,y)+f(y),\qquad x,y\in S, \] in which $u(x,y)$ is symmetric, and $f$ is an excessive function for the Borel right process with potential densities $u(x,y)$, are considered.…
This paper illustrates a procedure for fitting financial data with $\alpha$-stable distributions. After using all the available methods to evaluate the distribution parameters, one can qualitatively select the best estimate and run some…
The distance of a binary operation from being associative can be "measured" by its associative spectrum, an appropriate sequence of positive integers. Particular instances and general properties of associative spectra are studied.
Let $(M,d,\mu)$ be a uniformly discrete metric measure space satisfying space homogeneous volume doubling condition. We consider discrete time Markov chains on $M$ symmetric with respect to $\mu$ and whose one-step transition density is…
In this paper we discuss a credit risk model with a pure jump L\'evy process for the asset value and an unobservable random barrier. The default time is the first time when the asset value falls below the barrier. Using the…
We derive characteristic function identities for conditional distributions of an r-trimmed Levy process given its r largest jumps up to a designated time t. Assuming the underlying Levy process is in the domain of attraction of a stable…
Let ${\mathcal A}$ be the ${\mathcal L}^q-$functional of a stable L\'evy process starting from one and killed when crossing zero. We observe that ${\mathcal A}$ can be represented as the independent quotient of two infinite products of…
We consider a one-dimensional diffusion in a stable L\'evy environment. We show that the normalized local time process refocused at the bottom of the standard valley with height $\log t$, $(L_X(t,\mathfrak m_{\log t}+x)/t,x\in \R)$,…
We derive uniform in time $L^\infty$-bound for solutions to an aggregation-diffusion model with attractive-repulsive potentials or fully attractive potentials. We analyze two cases: either the repulsive nonlocal term dominates over the…
Recent fluctuation identities for $\alpha$-stable L\'evy processes have decomposed paths using generalised spherical polar coordinates revealing an underlying Markov Additive Process (MAP) for which a more advanced form of excursion theory…
Nonparametric density estimation is considered for a discretely observed stationary continuous-time process. For each of three given time sampling procedures either random or deterministic, we establish that histograms and frequency…
We consider a L\'evy process that starts from $x<0$ and conditioned on having a positive maximum. When Cram\'er's condition holds, we provide two weak limit theorems as $x\to -\infty$ for the law of the (two-sided) path shifted at the first…
We study the averaging of fronts moving with positive oscillatory normal velocity, which is periodic in space and stationary ergodic in time. The problem can be reformulated as the homogenization of coercive level set Hamilton-Jacobi…
The probability that a max-stable process {\eta} in C[0, 1] with identical marginal distribution function F hits x \in R with 0 < F (x) < 1 is the hitting probability of x. We show that the hitting probability is always positive, unless the…
Previously, we demonstrated that the dynamics of kicked spin chains possess a remarkable duality property. The trace of the unitary evolution operator for $N$ spins at time $T$ is related to one of a non-unitary evolution operator for $T$…
