In [16], under mild conditions, a Wiener-Hopf type factorization is derived for the exponential functional of proper L\'evy processes. In this paper, we extend this factorization by relaxing a finite moment assumption as well as by…
A notion of convergence of excursion measures is introduced. It is proved that convergence of excursion measures implies convergence in law of the processes pieced together from excursions. This result is applied to obtain homogenization…
Pure-jump L\'evy processes are popular classes of stochastic processes which have found many applications in finance, statistics or machine learning. In this paper, we propose a novel family of self-decomposable L\'evy processes where one…
L\'evy flights and L\'evy walks serve as two paradigms of random walks resembling common features but also bearing fundamental differences. One of the main dissimilarities are discontinuity versus continuity of their trajectories and…
We consider a L\'evy process that starts from $x<0$ and conditioned on having a positive maximum. When Cram\'er's condition holds, we provide two weak limit theorems as $x\to -\infty$ for the law of the (two-sided) path shifted at the first…
Two kinds of conditionings for one-dimensional stable L\'evy processes are discussed via $ h $-transforms of excursion measures: One is to stay positive, and the other is to avoid the origin.
By using lower bound conditions of the L\'evy measure, derivative formulae and Harnack inequalities are derived for linear stochastic differential equations driven by L\'evy processes. As applications, explicit gradient estimates and heat…
On the basis of multivariate Langevin processes we present a realization of Levy flights as a continuous process. For the simple case of a particle moving under the influence of friction and a velocity dependent stochastic force we…
In this paper, we shall introduce the Tanaka formula from viewpoint of the Doob-Meyer decomposition. For symmetric L\'evy processes, if the local time exists, Salminen and Yor (2007) obtained the Tanaka formula by using the potential…
We review some of the theory relevant to passage times of one-dimensional L\'evy processes out of bounded regions, highlighting results that are useful in physical phenomena modelled by heavy-tailed L\'evy flights. The process is…
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…
The recurrence features of persistent random walks built from variable length Markov chains are investigated. We observe that these stochastic processes can be seen as L{\'e}vy walks for which the persistence times depend on some internal…
We establish a large deviation principle for the normalized excursion and bridge of an $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process without negative jumps, with $1<\alpha<2$. Based on this, we derive precise asymptotics for the tail distributions of…
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…
Truncated L\'{e}vy flights are random walks in which the arbitrarily large steps of a L\'{e}vy flight are eliminated. Since this makes the variance finite, the central limit theorem applies, and as time increases the probability…
We present a satisfactory definition of the important class of L\'evy processes indexed by a general collection of sets. We use a new definition for increment stationarity of set-indexed processes to obtain different characterizations of…
The program of studying general nonlinear Markov processes was put forward in V. N. Kolokoltsov "Nonlinear Markov Semigroups and Interacting L\'evy Type Processes" (Journ. Stat. Physics 126:3 (2007), 585-642), and was developed by the…
We offer a unified approach to the theory of convex minorants of L\'{e}vy processes with continuous distributions. New results include simple explicit constructions of the convex minorant of a L\'{e}vy process on both finite and infinite…
Last passage times arise in a number of areas of applied probability, including risk theory and degradation models. Such times are obviously not stopping times since they depend on the whole path of the underlying process. We consider the…
Exotic stochastic processes are shown to emerge in the quantum evolution of complex systems. Using influence function techniques, we consider the dynamics of a system coupled to a chaotic subsystem described through random matrix theory. We…
