We show that the hitting times for points of real $\alpha-$stable L\'evy processes ($1<\alpha\le 2$) are unimodal random variables. The argument relies on strong unimodality and several recent multiplicative identities in law. In the…

We study the penalization problem with various clocks where the weight is given as the exponential functional of multi-point local times for one-dimensional L\'{e}vy processes. The limit processes may vary according to the choice of random…

We consider a process $Z$ on the real line composed from a L\'evy process and its exponentially tilted version killed with arbitrary rates and give an expression for the joint law of $Z$ seen from its supremum, the supremum $\overline Z$…

In this paper we consider the existence of weakly c\`adl\`ag versions of a solution to a linear equation in a Hilbert space $H$, driven by a Levy process taking values in a Hilbert space $U$. In particular we are interested in diagonal type…

Let $X$ be a real L\'evy process and let $\Xpos $ be the process conditioned to stay positive. We assume that $ 0 $ is regular for $(-\infty, 0)$ and $(0, +\infty) $ with respect to $X$. Using elementary excursion theory arguments, we…

We prove functional limits theorems for the occupation time process of a system of particles moving independently in $R^d$ according to a symmetric $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process, and starting off from an inhomogeneous Poisson point measure…

Path decomposition is performed to characterize the law of the pre/post-supremum, post-infimum and the intermediate processes of a spectrally negative Levy process taken up to an independent exponential time T: As a result, mainly the…

Let $X=\{X_{t},t\in R_{+}\}$ be a symmetric L\'{e}vy process with local time $\{L^{x}_{t} ; (x,t)\in R^{1}\times R^{1}_{+}\}$. When the L\'{e}vy exponent $\psi(\la)$ is regularly varying at zero with index $1<\beta\leq 2$, and satisfies…

The one dimensional distribution of a L\'{e}vy process is not known in general even though its characteristic function is given by the famous L\'{e}vy-Khinchine theorem. This article gives an exact series representation for the one…

We develop a method that relates the truncated cumulant-function of the fourth order with the L\'evian cumulant-function. This gives us explicit formulas for the L\'evy-parameters, which allow a real-time analysis of the state of a…

We show on- and off-diagonal upper estimates for the transition densities of symmetric Levy and Levy-type processes. To get the an-diagonal estimates we prove a Nash type inequality for the related Dirichlet form. For the off-diagonal…

We develop new representations for the Levy measures of the beta and gamma processes. These representations are manifested in terms of an infinite sum of well-behaved (proper) beta and gamma distributions. Further, we demonstrate how these…

We study a combination of the refracted and reflected L\'evy processes. Given a spectrally negative L\'evy process and two boundaries, it is reflected at the lower boundary while, whenever it is above the upper boundary, a linear drift at a…

Let {X_{t_1,t_2}: t_1,t_2 >= 0} be a two-parameter L\'evy process on R^d. We study basic properties of the one-parameter process {X_{x(t),y(t)}: t \in T} where x and y are, respectively, nondecreasing and nonincreasing nonnegative…

The {\em drawdown} process $Y$ of a completely asymmetric L\'{e}vy process $X$ is equal to $X$ reflected at its running supremum $\bar{X}$: $Y = \bar{X} - X$. In this paper we explicitly express in terms of the scale function and the…
