We investigate a refracted Levy process driven by a jump diffusion process, whose jumps have rational Laplace transforms. For such a stochastic process, formulas for the Laplace transform of its occupation times are deduced. To derive the…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for almost sure finiteness of integral functionals of spectrally positive L\'evy processes. Via Lamperti type transforms, these results can be applied to obtain new integral tests on extinction…
In this paper, we solve exit problems for a level-dependent L\'evy process which is exponentially killed with a killing intensity that depends on the present state of the process. Moreover, we analyse the respective resolvents. All…
For a spectrally negative L\'evy process $X$, we study the following distribution: $$ \mathbb{E}_x \left[ \mathrm{e}^{- q \int_0^t \mathbf{1}_{(a,b)} (X_s) \mathrm{d}s } ; X_t \in \mathrm{d}y \right], $$ where $-\infty \leq a < b < \infty$,…
As well known, all functionals of a Markov process may be expressed in terms of the generator operator, modulo some analytic work. In the case of spectrally negative Markov processes however, it is conjectured that everything can be…
For a spectrally negative L\'evy process, scale functions appear in the solution of two-sided exit problems, and in particular in relation with the Laplace transform of the first time it exits a closed interval. In this paper, we consider…
In this paper we study a spectrally negative L\'evy process which is refracted at its running maximum and at the same time reflected from below at a certain level. Such a process can for instance be used to model an insurance surplus…
We construct an estimator of the L\'evy density of a pure jump L\'evy process, possibly of infinite variation, from the discrete observation of one trajectory at high frequency. The novelty of our procedure is that we directly estimate the…
The joint distribution of the maximum loss and the maximum gain is obtained for a spectrally negative Levy process until the passage time of a given level. Their marginal distributions up to an independent exponential time are also…
We obtain general lower estimates of transition densities of jump L\'evy processes. We use them for processes with L\'evy measures having bounded support, processes with exponentially decaying L\'evy measures for large times and for…
Generalizing the concept of quantiles to the jump measure of a L\'evy process, the generalized quantiles $q_{\tau}^{\pm}>0$, for $\tau>0$, are given by the smallest values such that a jump larger than $q_{\tau}^{+}$ or a negative jump…
We provide analytical tools for pricing power options with exotic features (capped or log payoffs, gap options ...) in the framework of exponential L\'evy models driven by one-sided stable or tempered stable processes. Pricing formulas take…
For a broad class of the Levy processes the new form (convolution type) of the infinitesimal generators is introduced. It leads to the new notions: a truncated generator, a quasi-potential. The probability of the Levy process remaining…
For spectrally negative L\'evy processes, we prove several fluctuation results involving a general draw-down time, which is a downward exit time from a dynamic level that depends on the running maximum of the process. In particular, we find…
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…
A fluctuation theory and, in particular, a theory of scale functions is developed for upwards skip-free L\'evy chains, i.e. for right-continuous random walks embedded into continuous time as compound Poisson processes. This is done by…
The scale function holds significant importance within the fluctuation theory of Levy processes, particularly in addressing exit problems. However, its definition is established through the Laplace transform, thereby lacking explicit…
The purpose of this paper is to construct the law of a L\'evy process conditioned to avoid zero, under mild technicals conditions, two of them being that the point zero is regular for itself and the L\'evy process is not a compound Poisson…
We study the Wiener-Hopf factorization for Levy processes with bounded positive jumps and arbitrary negative jumps. Using the results from the theory of entire functions of Cartwright class we prove that the positive Wiener-Hopf factor can…
For a (killed) spectrally negative L\'evy process we provide an analytic expression for the distribution of its overshoot over a fixed level in terms of the infinitesimal generator and the scale function of the process. Our identity…
