It was recently proven that the correlation function of the stationary version of a reflected L\'evy process is nonnegative, nonincreasing and convex. In another branch of the literature it was established that the mean value of the…
We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the Liouville and strong Liouville properties of the infinitesimal generator of a L\'evy process and subordinate L\'evy processes. Combining our criterion with the necessary and sufficient…
We study whether a multivariate L\'evy-driven moving average process can shadow arbitrarily closely any continuous path, starting from the present value of the process, with positive conditional probability, which we call the conditional…
In this paper, we study weak and strong transience of a class of Feller processes associated with pseudo-differential operators, the so-called L\'evy-type processes. As a main result, we derive Chung-Fuchs type conditions (in terms of the…
We discuss an impact of various (path-wise) reflection-from-the barrier scenarios upon confining properties of a paradigmatic family of symmetric $\alpha $-stable L\'{e}vy processes, whose permanent residence in a finite interval on a line…
We will prove that: (1) A symmetric free L\'evy process is unimodal if and only if its free L\'evy measure is unimodal; (2) Every free L\'evy process with boundedly supported L\'evy measure is unimodal in sufficiently large time. (2) is…
Motivated by the recent results of Nualart and Xu \cite{Nualart} concerning limits laws for occupation times of one dimensional symmetric stable processes, this paper proves a decomposition for functionals of one dimensional symmetric…
We show some Chung-type $\liminf$ law of the iterated logarithm results at zero for a class of (pure-jump) Feller or L\'evy-type processes. This class includes all L\'evy processes. The norming function is given in terms of the symbol of…
We identify a necessary and sufficient condition for a L\'evy white noise to be a tempered distribution. More precisely, we show that if the L\'evy measure associated with this noise has a positive absolute moment, then the L\'evy white…
Infinite horizon optimal stopping problems for a L\'evy processes with a two-sided reward function are considered. A two-sided verification theorem is presented in terms of the overall supremum and the overall infimum of the process. A…
In this paper, we study recurrence and transience of L\'evy-type processes, that is, Feller processes associated with pseudo-differential operators. Since the recurrence property of L\'evy-type processes in dimensions greater than two is…
In this article we consider the Levy processes and the corresponding semigroup. We represent the generator of this semigroup in a convolution form. Using the obtained convolution form and the theory of integral equations we investigate the…
We characterize the small-time asymptotic behavior of the exit probability of a L\'evy process out of a two-sided interval and of the law of its overshoot, conditionally on the terminal value of the process. The asymptotic expansions are…
Conditioning Markov processes to avoid a domain is a classical problem that has been studied in many settings. Ingredients for standard arguments involve the leading order tail asymptotics of the distribution of the first hitting time of…
We provide a description of the excursion measure from a point for a spectrally negative L\'evy process. The description is based in two main ingredients. The first is building a spectrally negative L\'evy process conditioned to avoid zero…
We find an expression for the joint Laplace transform of the law of $(T_{[x,+\infty[},X_{T_{[x,+\infty[}})$ for a L\'evy process $X$, where $T_{[x,+\infty[}$ is the first hitting time of $[x,+\infty[$ by $X$. When $X$ is an $\alpha$-stable…
It is proved that the law of a possibly killed L\'evy process $X$, seen up to and including (resp. up to strictly before) a stopping time, determines already the law of $X$ (resp. up to a compound Poisson component and killing).
We consider two-dimensional L\'evy processes reflected to stay in the positive quadrant. Our focus is on the non-standard regime when the mean of the free process is negative but the reflection vectors point away from the origin, so that…
Given a spectrally negative L\'evy process $X$ drifting to infinity, (inspired on the early ideas of Shiryaev (2002)) we are interested in finding a stopping time that minimises the $L^p$ distance ($p>1$) with $g$, the last time $X$ is…
We consider the problem of static Bayesian inference for partially observed Levy-process models. We develop a methodology which allows one to infer static parameters and some states of the process, without a bias from the…
