Consider a regenerative storage process with a nondecreasing L\'evy input (subordinator) such that every cycle may be split into two periods. In the first (off) the output is shut off and the workload accumulates. This continues until some…
We study the influence of a dissipation process on diffusion dynamics triggered by slow fluctuations. We study both strong- and weak-friction regime. When the latter regime applies, the system is attracted by the basin of either Gauss or…
In the face of the upcoming 30th anniversary of econophysics, we review our contributions and other related works on the modeling of the long-range memory phenomenon in physical, economic, and other social complex systems. Our group has…
Among Markovian processes, the hallmark of L\'evy flights is superdiffusion, or faster-than-Brownian dynamics. Here we show that L\'evy laws, as well as Gaussians, can also be the limit distributions of processes with long range memory that…
This paper establishes a stochastic maximum principle for optimal control problems governed by time-changed forward-backward stochastic differential equations with L\'evy noise. The system incorporates a random, non-decreasing operational…
Continuous time random walks and Langevin equations are two classes of stochastic models for describing the dynamics of particles in the natural world. While some of the processes can be conveniently characterized by both of them, more…
We obtain a representation of an inhomogeneous Levy process in a Lie group or a homogeneous space in terms of a drift, a matrix function and a measure function. Because the stochastic continuity is not assumed, our result generalizes the…
In this paper, we solve exit problems for a L\'evy process that resets proportionally to its current position at independent Poisson epochs times. This resetting causes an additional (proportional to its current level) downward (upward)…
This paper revisits the definition of linear time-invariant (LTI) stochastic process within a behavioral systems framework. Building on [Willems, 2013], we derive a canonical representation of an LTI stochastic process and a physically…
Literature is full of inference techniques developed to estimate the parameters of stochastic dynamical systems driven by the well-known Brownian noise. Such diffusion models are often inappropriate models to properly describe the dynamics…
This brief manuscript provides an introduction to L\'evy processes and their applications in finance as the random process that drives asset models. Characteristic functions and random variable generators of popular L\'evy processes are…
In this work, we introduce a theory of stochastic integration with respect to symmetric $\alpha$-stable cylindrical L\'evy processes. Since $\alpha$-stable cylindrical L\'evy processes do not enjoy a semi-martingale decomposition, our…
In this paper we propose and advocate the use of the so called L\'evy flights as a driving mechanism for a class of stochastic optimization computations. This proposal, for some reasons overlooked until now, is - in author's opinion - very…
Levy processes are widely used in financial mathematics, telecommunication, economics, queueing theory and natural sciences for modelling. A typical model is obtained by considering finite dimensional linear stochastic SISO systems driven…
Stable distributions are a celebrated class of probability laws used in various fields. The $\alpha$-stable process, and its exponentially tempered counterpart, the Classical Tempered Stable (CTS) process, are also prominent examples of…
In contrast to their seemingly simple and shared structure of independence and stationarity, L\'evy processes exhibit a wide variety of behaviors, from the self-similar Wiener process to piecewise-constant compound Poisson processes.…
Supply chain management is an integrated approach for planning and controlling materials, information, and finances as they move in a process which begins from suppliers and ends with customers in forward approach. As distribution network…
We study stochastic tree fluid networks driven by a multidimensional Levy process. We are interested in (the joint distribution of) the steady-state content in each of the buffers, the busy periods, and the idle periods. To investigate…
Pervasive across diverse domains, stochastic systems exhibit fluctuations in processes ranging from molecular dynamics to climate phenomena. The Langevin equation has served as a common mathematical model for studying such systems, enabling…
Large scale electricity storage is set to play an increasingly important role in the management of future energy networks. A major aspect of the economics of such projects is captured in arbitrage, i.e. buying electricity when it is cheap…
