We establish a novel characterisation of the law of the convex minorant of any L\'evy process. Our self-contained elementary proof is based on the analysis of piecewise linear convex functions and requires only very basic properties of…
For $n$ equidistant observations of a L\'evy process at time distance $\Delta_n$ we consider the problem of testing hypotheses on the volatility, the jump measure and its Blumenthal-Getoor index in a non- or semiparametric manner.…
We investigate the upper tail probabilities of the all-time maximum of a stable L\'evy process with a power negative drift. The asymptotic behaviour is shown to be exponential in the spectrally negative case and polynomial otherwise, with…
We present a practical framework to prove, in a simple way, two-terms asymptotic expansions for Fourier integrals $$ {\mathcal I}(t) = \int_{\mathbb R}({\rm e}^{it\phi(x)}-1) {\rm d} \mu(x) $$ where $\mu$ is a probability measure on…
For L\'evy processes with exponentially decaying tails of the L\'evy density, we derive integral representations for the joint cpdf $V$ of $(X_T, \bar X_T,\tau_T)$ (the process, its supremum evaluated at $T<+\infty$, and the first time at…
Extending a previous study of the velocity autocorrelation function (VAF) in a simulated Lennard-Jones fluid to cover higher-density and lower-temperature states, we show that the recently demonstrated multiexponential expansion allows for…
We prove that the spatial Wiener-Hopf factorisation of a L\'evy process or random walk without killing is unique.
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of exponential integrals of Markov additive processes. Other than in the classical L\'evy case studied by Erickson and Maller we have to distinguish between almost sure…
We consider a Markov process $X$, which is the solution of a stochastic differential equation driven by a L\'{e}vy process $Z$ and an independent Wiener process $W$. Under some regularity conditions, including non-degeneracy of the…
In this article we generalize the classical Edgeworth expansion for the probability density function (PDF) of sums of a finite number of symmetric independent identically distributed random variables with a finite variance to sums of…
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…
The main purpose of this chapter is to present some theoretical aspects of parametric estimation of L\'evy processes based on high-frequency sampling, with a focus on infinite activity pure-jump models. Asymptotics for several classes of…
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…
This text surveys properties and applications of the exponential functional $\int_0^t\exp(-\xi_s)ds$ of real-valued L\'evy processes $\xi=(\xi_t,t\geq0)$.
We study functions g_{\alpha}(x) which are one-sided, heavy-tailed Levy stable probability distributions of index \alpha, 0< \alpha <1, of fundamental importance in random systems, for anomalous diffusion and fractional kinetics. We furnish…
We prove simple general formulas for expectations of functions of a L\'evy process and its running extremum. Under additional conditions, we derive analytical formulas using the Fourier/Laplace inversion and Wiener-Hopf factorization, and…
In this article the relation between the tail behaviours of a free regular infinitely divisible (positively supported) probability measure and its L\'evy measure is studied. An important example of such a measure is the compound free…
The improper stochastic integral $Z=\int_0^{\infty-}\exp(-X_{s-})dY_s$ is studied, where $\{(X_t, Y_t), t \geqslant 0 \}$ is a L\'evy process on $\mathbb R ^{1+d}$ with $\{X_t \}$ and $\{Y_t \}$ being $\mathbb R$-valued and $\mathbb R…
We determine the complete asymptotic behaviour of the work distribution in driven stochastic systems described by Langevin equations. Special emphasis is put on the calculation of the pre-exponential factor which makes the result free of…
We study a new class of so-called rational-infinitely (or quasi-infinitely) divisible probability laws on the real line. The characteristic functions of these distributions are ratios of the characteristic functions of classical infinitely…
