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 suppose that a L\'evy process is observed at discrete time points. A rather general construction of minimum-distance estimators is shown to give consistent estimators of the L\'evy-Khinchine characteristics as the number of observations…

We study the small-time asymptotics of sample paths of L\'evy processes and L\'evy-type processes. Namely, we investigate under which conditions the limit $$\limsup_{t \to 0} \frac{1}{f(t)} |X_t-X_0|$$ is finite resp.\ infinite with…

The narrow escape problem concerns the time needed for a diffusing particle to exit a confining domain through a small hole in the boundary. While this problem is now well-understood, determining the escape time for a particle that must…
