Subordinating a multivariate L\'evy process, the subordinate, with a univariate subordinator gives rise to a pathwise construction of a new L\'evy process, provided the subordinator and the subordinate are independent processes. The…
Let $Z=(Z_t)_{t\geq0}$ be an additive process with a bounded triplet $(0,0,\Lambda_t)_{t\geq0}$. Suppose that for any Schwartz function $\varphi$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ whose Fourier transform is in $C_c^{\infty}(B_{c_s} \setminus B_{c_s^{-1}}…
If $X$ is a spectrally positive stable process of index $\alpha\in(1,2)$ whose L\'{e}vy measure has density $cx^{-\alpha-1}$ on $(0,\infty),$ and $S_1=\sup_{0<t\leq1}X_t,$ it is known that $P(S_1>x)\backsim c\alpha^{-1}x^{-\alpha}$ as…
In our previous publications (IJTAF 2019, Math. Finance 2020), we introduced a general class of SINH-regular processes and demonstrated that efficient numerical methods for the evaluation of the Wiener-Hopf factors and various probability…
Recent models of the insurance risk process use a L\'evy process to generalise the traditional Cram\'er-Lundberg compound Poisson model. This paper is concerned with the behaviour of the distributions of the overshoot and undershoots of a…
Let $J(\cdot)$ be a compound Poisson process with rate $\lambda>0$ and a jumps distribution $G(\cdot)$ concentrated on $(0,\infty)$. In addition, let $V$ be a random variable which is distributed according to $G(\cdot)$ and independent from…
In single field slow-roll inflation, one expects that the spectral index $n_s -1$ is first order in slow-roll parameters. Similarly, its running $\alpha_s = dn_s/d \log k$ and the running of the running $\beta_s = d\alpha_s/d \log k$ are…
We suggest a new statement of the inverse spectral problem for Sturm--Liouville-type operators with constant delay. This inverse problem consists in recovering the coefficient (often referred to as potential) of the delayed term in the…
In this paper, we study the law of the local time processes $(L_T^x(X),x\in \mathbb{R})$ associated to a spectrally negative L\'evy process $X$, in the cases $T=\tau_a^+$, the first passage time of $X$ above $a>0$ and $T=\tau(c)$, the first…
We consider a continuous time version of Cramer's theorem with nonnegative summands $ S_t=\frac{1}{t}\sum_{i:\tau_i\le t}\xi_i, t \to\infty, $ where $(\tau_i,\xi_i)_{i\ge 1}$ is a sequence of random variables such that $tS_t$ is a random…
This paper studies de Finetti's optimal dividend problem with capital injection. We confirm the optimality of a double barrier strategy when the underlying risk model follows a L\'evy process that may have positive and negative jumps. The…
In this paper, we consider a long-time behavior of stable-like processes. A stable-like process is a Feller process given by the symbol $p(x,\xi)=-i\beta(x)\xi+\gamma(x)|\xi|^{\alpha(x)},$ where $\alpha(x)\in(0,2)$, $\beta(x)\in\R$ and…
Given a self-adjoint operator H, a self-adjoint trace class operator V and a fixed Hilbert-Schmidt operator F with trivial kernel and co-kernel, using limiting absorption principle an explicit set of full Lebesgue measure is defined such…
We consider a class of assets whose risk-neutral pricing dynamics are described by an exponential L\'evy-type process subject to default. The class of processes we consider features locally-dependent drift, diffusion and default-intensity…
We introduce two models of taxation, the latent and natural tax processes, which have both been used to represent loss-carry-forward taxation on the capital of an insurance company. In the natural tax process, the tax rate is a function of…
Spectral problem for a family of periodic Sturm--Liouville problems \[ u''+\lambda^2(a(x)-a)u=0 \] depending on the parameter (a\in\mathbb R) is considered. An interpolation formula describing the behaviour of the branches of the spectrum…
The recent papers Gajek-Kucinsky(2017) and Avram-Goreac-Li-Wu(2020) investigated the control problem of optimizing dividends when limiting capital injections stopped upon bankruptcy. The first paper works under the spectrally negative…
This paper discusses the valuation of credit default swaps, where default is announced when the reference asset price has gone below certain level from the last record maximum, also known as the high-water mark or drawdown. We assume that…
This paper investigates a dividend optimization problem with a positive creeping-associated terminal value at ruin for spectrally negative Levy processes. We consider an insurance company whose surplus process evolves according to a…
We give a review of the state of the art with regard to the theory of scale functions for spectrally negative Levy processes. From this we introduce a general method for generating new families of scale functions. Using this method we…
