We study the ballistic L\'evy walk stemming from an infinite mean traveling time between collision events. Our study focuses on the density of spreading particles all starting from a common origin, which is limited by a `light' cone $-v_0…

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…

We obtain a new fluctuation identity for a general L\'{e}vy process giving a quintuple law describing the time of first passage, the time of the last maximum before first passage, the overshoot, the undershoot and the undershoot of the last…

We consider Kallenberg's hypothesis on the characteristic function of a L\'{e}vy process and show that it allows the construction of weakly continuous bridges of the L\'{e}vy process conditioned to stay positive. We therefore provide a…

The natural analogue for a Levy process of Cramer's estimate for a reflected random walk is a statement about the exponential rate of decay of the tail of the characteristic measure of the height of an excursion above the minimum. We…

Let $\{L(t),t\geq 0\}$ be a L\'{e}vy process with representative random variable $L(1)$ defined by the infinitely divisible logarithmic series distribution. We study here the transition probability and L\'{e}vy measure of this process. We…

Let $X$ be a L\'evy process with absolutely continuous L\'evy measure $\nu$. Small time polynomial expansions of order $n$ in $t$ are obtained for the tails $P(X_{t}\geq{}y)$ of the process, assuming smoothness conditions on the L\'evy…
