We investigate the behavior of L\'{e}vy processes with convolution equivalent L\'{e}vy measures, up to the time of first passage over a high level u. Such problems arise naturally in the context of insurance risk where u is the initial…
We obtain a new fluctuation identity for a general L\'{e}vy process giving a quintuple law describing the time of first passage, the time of the last maximum before first passage, the overshoot, the undershoot and the undershoot of the last…
This study considers a continuous-review inventory model for a single item with two replenishment modes. Replenishments may occur continuously at any time with a higher unit cost, or at discrete times governed by Poisson arrivals with a…
We establish explicit quenched asymptotics for pure-jump symmetric L\'evy processes in general Poissonian potentials, which is closely related to large time asymptotic behavior of solutions to the nonlocal parabolic Anderson problem with…
A branching L\'evy process can be seen as the continuous-time version of a branching random walk. It describes a particle system on the real line in which particles move and reproduce independently in a Poissonian manner. Just as for L\'evy…
Recent fluctuation identities for $\alpha$-stable L\'evy processes have decomposed paths using generalised spherical polar coordinates revealing an underlying Markov Additive Process (MAP) for which a more advanced form of excursion theory…
A relationship between two sided discounted singular control problems and Dynkin games is established for real valued L\'evy processes. In addition, the solution of a two-sided ergodic singular control problem is obtained as the limit of…
Levy flights and subdiffusive processes and their properties are discussed. We derive the space- and time-fractional transport equations, and consider their solutions in external potentials. An extensive list of references is included.
This paper provides a framework for investigations in fluctuation theory for L\'evy processes with matrix-exponential jumps. We present a matrix form of the components of the infinitely divisible factorization. Using this representation we…
We provide a L\'evy-It\^o decomposition of sample paths of L\'evy processes with values in complete locally convex Suslin spaces. This class of state spaces contains the well investigated examples of separable Banach spaces, as well as…
The problem of disorder seeks to determine a stopping time which is as close as possible to the unknown time of ``disorder'' when the observed process changes its probability characteristics. We give a partial answer to this question for…
Several aspects of the laws of first hitting times of points are investigated for one-dimensional symmetric stable L\'evy processes. It\^o's excursion theory plays a key role in this study.
Monotone L\'evy processes with additive increments are defined and studied. It is shown that these processes have a natural Markov structure and their Markov transition semigroups are characterized using the monotone L\'evy-Khintchine…
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…
The notion of degree and related notions concerning recurrence and transience for a class of L'evy processes on metric Abelian groups are studied. The case of random walks on a hierarchical group is examined with emphasis on the role of the…
In this paper we consider convergence of moments in the small-time limit theorems for L\'evy processes. We provide precise asymptotics for all the absolute moments of positive order. The convergence of moments in limit theorems holds…
L\'evy stochastic processes, with noise distributed according to a L\'evy stable distribution, are ubiquitous in science. Focusing on the case of a particle trapped in an external harmonic potential, we address the problem of finding…
We wish to characterise when a L\'{e}vy process $X_t$ crosses boundaries like $t^\kappa$, $\kappa>0$, in a one or two-sided sense, for small times $t$; thus, we enquire when $\limsup_{t\downarrow 0}|X_t|/t^{\kappa}$, $\limsup_{t\downarrow…
Taking account of recent developments in the representation of $d$-dimensional isotropic stable L\'evy processes as self-similar Markov processes, we consider a number of new ways to condition its path. Suppose that $\Omega$ is a region of…
This paper is concerned with the small time behaviour of a L\'{e}vy process $X$. In particular, we investigate the {\it stabilities} of the times, $\Tstarb(r)$ and $\Tbarb(r)$, at which $X$, started with $X_0=0$, first leaves the space-time…
