For a given Markov process $X$ and survival function $\overline{H}$ on $\mathbb{R}^+$, the inverse first-passage time problem (IFPT) is to find a barrier function $b:\mathbb{R}^+\to[-\infty,+\infty]$ such that the survival function of the…
This paper considers a L\'evy-driven queue (i.e., a L\'evy process reflected at 0), and focuses on the distribution of $M(t)$, that is, the minimal value attained in an interval of length $t$ (where it is assumed that the queue is in…
In this paper, we consider a class of generalized continuous-state branching processes obtained by Lamperti type time changes of spectrally positive L\'evy processes using different rate functions. When explosion occurs to such a process,…
This paper studies the optimal multiple-stopping problem arising in the context of the timing option to withdraw from a project in stages. The profits are driven by a general spectrally negative Levy process. This allows the model to…
We present an explicit solution to the Skorokhod embedding problem for spectrally negative L\'evy processes. Given a process $X$ and a target measure $\mu$ satisfying an explicit admissibility condition we define functions $\f_\pm$ such…
Consider a multivariate L\'evy-driven Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process where the stationary distribution or background driving L\'evy process is from a parametric family. We derive the likelihood function assuming that the innovation term is…
We study subexponential tail asymptotics for the distribution of the maximum $M_t:=\sup_{u\in[0,t]}X_u$ of a process $X_t$ with negative drift for the entire range of $t>0$. We consider compound renewal processes with linear drift and…
Iksanov and Pilipenko (2023) defined a skew stable L\'{e}vy process as a scaling limit of a sequence of perturbed at $0$ symmetric stable L\'{e}vy processes (continuous-time processes). Here, we provide a simpler construction of the skew…
In this paper we consider a general L\'{e}vy process $X$ reflected at downward periodic barrier $A_t$ and constant upper barrier $K$ giving a process $V^K_t=X_t+L^A_t-L^K_t$. We find the expression for a loss rate defined by $l^K=\mathbb{E}…
The optimal dividend problem by De Finetti (1957) has been recently generalized to the spectrally negative L\'evy model where the implementation of optimal strategies draws upon the computation of scale functions and their derivatives. This…
We develop at-the-money call-price and implied volatility asymptotic expansions in time to maturity for a class of asset-price models whose log returns follow a L\'evy process. Under mild assumptions placing the driving L\'evy process in…
Spectral theory for the transition semigroup of one-dimensional symmetric Levy process killed upon hitting the origin is studied. Under very mild assumptions, an integral-type formula for eigenfunctions is obtained, and eigenfunction…
Rate distortion theory is concerned with optimally encoding a given signal class $\mathcal{S}$ using a budget of $R$ bits, as $R\to\infty$. We say that $\mathcal{S}$ can be compressed at rate $s$ if we can achieve an error of…
In this note, we consider the construction of a one-dimensional stable Langevin type process confined in the upper half-plane and submitted to reflective-diffusive boundary conditions whenever the particle position hits 0. We show that two…
This paper addresses the question of predicting when a positive self-similar Markov process X attains its pathwise global supremum or infimum before hitting zero for the first time (if it does at all). This problem has been studied in…
Recently, Samorodnitsky proved a strengthened version of Mrs. Gerber's Lemma, where the output entropy of a binary symmetric channel is bounded in terms of the average entropy of the input projected on a random subset of coordinates. Here,…
We consider the problem of modelling restricted interactions between continuously-observed time series as given by a known static graph (or network) structure. For this purpose, we define a parametric multivariate Graph Ornstein-Uhlenbeck…
Consider a sequence X_k=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}c_j\xi_{k-j}, k\geq 1, where c_j, j\geq 0, is a sequence of constants and \xi_j, -\infty <j<\infty, is a sequence of independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables (r.v.s) belonging…
We consider the stochastic differential equations of the form \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} dX^ x(t) = \sigma(X(t-)) dL(t) \\ X^ x(0)=x,\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^ d, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $\sigma:\mathbb{R}^ d\to \mathbb{R}^ d$ is…
For a positive self-similar Markov process, X, we construct a local time for the random set, $\Theta$, of times where the process reaches its past supremum. Using this local time we describe an exit system for the excursions of X out of its…
