Suppose Xt is either a regular exponential type Levy process or a Levy process with a bounded variation jumps measure. The distribution of the extrema of Xt play a crucial role in many financial and actuarial problems. This article employs…

This paper aims at semi-parametrically estimating the input process to a L\'evy-driven queue by sampling the workload process at Poisson times. We construct a method-of-moments based estimator for the L\'evy process' characteristic…

We present an existence result for L\'evy-type processes which requires only weak regularity assumptions on the symbol $q(x,\xi)$ with respect to the space variable $x$. Applications range from existence and uniqueness results for…

Using the Wiener-Hopf factorization, it is shown that it is possible to bound the path of an arbitrary Levy process above and below by the paths of two random walks. These walks have the same step distribution, but different random starting…

We provide asymptotic results and develop high frequency statistical procedures for time-changed L\'evy processes sampled at random instants. The sampling times are given by first hitting times of symmetric barriers whose distance with…

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…

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…

A dynamical model based on a continuous addition of colored shot noises is presented. The resulting process is colored and non-Gaussian. A general expression for the characteristic function of the process is obtained, which, after a scaling…

We consider stochastic control systems affected by a fast mean reverting volatility $Y(t)$ driven by a pure jump L\'evy process. Motivated by a large literature on financial models, we assume that $Y(t)$ evolves at a faster time scale…

We introduce the formalism of generalized Fourier transforms in the context of risk management. We develop a general framework to efficiently compute the most popular risk measures, Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall (also known as…

In this paper we present some limit theorems for power variation of L\'evy semi-stationary processes in the setting of infill asymptotics. L\'evy semi-stationary processes, which are a one-dimensional analogue of ambit fields, are moving…

In the work asymptotic analysis of the problem of large deviations for random evolutions with independent increments in the circuit of L\'{e}vy approximation is carried out. Large deviations for random evolutions in the circuit of Levy…

Subordinating a multivariate L\'evy process, the subordinate, with a univariate subordinator gives rise to a pathwise construction of a new L\'evy process, provided the subordinator and the subordinate are independent processes. The…
