We consider Kallenberg's hypothesis on the characteristic function of a L\'{e}vy process and show that it allows the construction of weakly continuous bridges of the L\'{e}vy process conditioned to stay positive. We therefore provide a…

Consider a L\'evy process $Y(t)$ over an exponentially distributed time $T_\beta$ with mean $1/\beta$. We study the joint distribution of the running maximum $\bar{Y}(T_\beta)$ and the time epoch $G(T_\beta$) at which this maximum last…

We investigate the partitioning of partial orders into a minimal number of heapable subsets. We prove a characterization result reminiscent of the proof of Dilworth's theorem, which yields as a byproduct a flow-based algorithm for computing…

The global in time existence of weak solutions to a cross-diffusion system with fractional diffusion in the whole space is proved. The equations describe the evolution of multi-species populations in the regime of large-distance…

For $\alpha >0$, the $\alpha$-Lipschitz minorant of a function $f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is the greatest function $m : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $m \leq f$ and $\vert m(s) - m(t) \vert \leq \alpha \vert s-t…

We present a new approach to fluctuation identities for reflected L\'{e}vy processes with one-sided jumps. This approach is based on a number of easy to understand observations and does not involve excursion theory or It\^{o} calculus. It…

We present an extensive analysis of transport properties in superdiffusive two dimensional quenched random media, obtained by packing disks with radii distributed according to a L\'evy law. We consider transport and scaling properties in…

Multiple scattering is a process in which a particle is repeatedly deflected by other particles. In an overwhelming majority of cases, the ensuing random walk can successfully be described through Gaussian, or normal, statistics. However,…

In search for mathematically tractable models of anomalous diffusion, we introduce a simple dynamical system consisting of a chain of coupled maps of the interval whose Lyapunov exponents vanish everywhere. The volume preserving property…

A L\'evy random medium, in a given space, is a random point process where the distances between points, a.k.a. targets, are long-tailed. Random walks visiting the targets of a L\'evy random medium have been used to model many (physical,…

We characterise the convergence of a certain class of discrete time Markov processes toward locally Feller processes in terms of convergence of associated operators. The theory of locally Feller processes is applied to L\'evy-type processes…

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…

Heat-transport mechanism mediated by near-field interactions in plasmonic nanostructures networks is shown to be analogous to a generalized random-walk process. Existence of superdiffusive regimes is demonstrated both in linear ordered…

In this paper we develop a model to describe the diffusion process in a porous medium. For the observed decrease in current yield, we propose other causes than difference in diffusivity, which we consider unaltered by the porous medium. The…

We study the convergence in distribution of the supremum of the local time and of the favorite site for a transient diffusion in a spectrally negative L\'evy potential. To do so, we study the h-valleys of a spectrally negative L\'evy…

We consider the passage time problem for L\'evy processes, emphasising heavy tailed cases. Results are obtained under quite mild assumptions, namely, drift to $-\infty$ a.s. of the process, possibly at a linear rate (the finite mean case),…

Let Z be an Rd-valued Levy process with strong finite p-variation for some p<2. We prove that the ''decompensated'' process Y obtained from Z by annihilating its generalized drift has a small deviations property in p-variation. This…

An increasing number of experimental studies employ single particle tracking to probe the physical environment in complex systems. We here propose and discuss new methods to analyze the time series of the particle traces, in particular, for…
