We show how to insert time into the parameters of the Wilson's 6-j laws to construct discrete Markov chains with these laws. By a quadratic transformation we convert them into Markov processes with linear regressions and quadratic…
Quadratic harnesses are typically non-homogeneous Markov processes with time-dependent state space. Using an appropriately defined affine transformation we show that all bridges of a given quadratic harness can be transformed into other…
We give an elementary construction of a time-invertible Markov process which is discrete except at one instance. The process is one of the quadratic harnesses studied in our previous papers and can be regarded as a random joint of two…
Relations between so-called harness processes and initial enlargements of the filtration of a Levy process with its positions at fixed times are investigated.
We study general properties for the family of stochastic processes with polynomial regression property, that is that every conditional moment of the process is a polynomial. It turns out that then there exists a family of polynomial…
We study Markov processes where the "time" parameter is replaced by paths in a directed graph from an initial vertex to a terminal one. Along each directed path the process is Markov and has the same distribution as the one along any other…
Combinatorial Levy processes evolve on general state spaces of countable combinatorial structures. In this setting, the usual Levy process properties of stationary, independent increments are defined in an unconventional way in terms of the…
Continuous-time stochastic systems have attracted a lot of attention recently, due to their wide-spread use in finance for modelling price-dynamics. More recently models taking into accounts shocks have been developed by assuming that the…
Monotone L\'evy processes with additive increments are defined and studied. It is shown that these processes have a natural Markov structure and their Markov transition semigroups are characterized using the monotone L\'evy-Khintchine…
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…
Free quadratic harness is a Markov process from the class of quadratic harnesses, i.e. processes with linear regressions and quadratic conditional variances. The process has recently been constructed for a restricted range of parameters in…
We show that stochastic processes with linear conditional expectations and quadratic conditional variances are Markov, and their transition probabilities are related to a three-parameter family of orthogonal polynomials which generalize the…
We first introduce and derive some basic properties of a two-parameters family of one-sided Levy processes. Their Laplace exponents are given in terms of the Pochhammer symbol. This family includes, in a limit case, the family of Brownian…
When two Markov operators commute, it suggests that we can couple two copies of one of the corresponding processes. We explicitly construct a number of couplings of this type for a commuting family of Markov processes on the set of…
A branching L\'evy process can be seen as the continuous-time version of a branching random walk. It describes a particle system on the real line in which particles move and reproduce independently in a Poissonian manner. Just as for L\'evy…
We develop a practical approach to establish the stability, that is, the recurrence in a given set, of a large class of controlled Markov chains. These processes arise in various areas of applied science and encompass important numerical…
We obtain an intertwining relation between some Riemann-Liouville operators of order a in (1,2) connecting through a certain multiplicative identity in law the one-dimensional marginals of reflected completely asymmetric a-stable L\'evy…
We analyze the Levy processes produced by means of two interconnected classes of non stable, infinitely divisible distribution: the Variance Gamma and the Student laws. While the Variance Gamma family is closed under convolution, the…
We completely describe the size and large intersection properties of the Holder singularity sets of Levy processes. We also study the set of times at which a given function cannot be a modulus of continuity of a Levy process. The Holder…
Kuznetsov et al. (2011) and Kuznetsov and Pardo (2013) introduced the family of Hypergeometric L\'evy processes. They appear naturally in the study of fluctuations of stable processes when one analyses stable processes through the theory of…
