We consider a L\'evy process $Y(t)$ that is not permanently observed, but rather inspected at Poisson($\omega$) moments only, over an exponentially distributed time $T_\beta$ with parameter $\beta$. The focus lies on the analysis of the…

The evaluation of a matrix exponential function is a classic problem of computational linear algebra. Many different methods have been employed for its numerical evaluation [Moler C and van Loan C 1978 SIAM Review 20 4], none of which…

We introduce a set of special functions called multiple polyexponential integrals, defined as iterated integrals of the exponential integral $\text{Ei}(z)$. These functions arise in certain perturbative expansions of the local solutions of…

Time homogeneous polynomial processes are Markov processes whose moments can be calculated easily through matrix exponentials. In this work, we develop a notion of time inhomogeneous polynomial processes where the coeffiecients of the…

The paper deals with exponential functionals of the linear Brownian motion which arise in different contexts such as continuous time finance models and one-dimensional disordered models. We study some properties of these exponential…

We investigate exponential stock models driven by tempered stable processes, which constitute a rich family of purely discontinuous L\'{e}vy processes. With a view of option pricing, we provide a systematic analysis of the existence of…

We provide an empirical process theory for locally stationary processes over nonsmooth function classes. An important novelty over other approaches is the use of the flexible functional dependence measure to quantify dependence. A…

For non-decreasing real functions $f$ and $g$, we consider the functional $ T(f,g ; I,J)=\int_{I} f(x)\di g(x) + \int_J g(x)\di f(x)$, where $I$ and $J$ are intervals with $J\subseteq I$. In particular case with $I=[a,t]$, $J=[a,s]$, $s\leq…

We consider a general piecewise deterministic Markov process (PDMP) $X=\{X_t\}_{t\geqslant 0}$ with measure-valued generator $\mathcal{A}$, for which the conditional distribution function of the inter-occurrence time is not necessarily…

In this paper we discuss a closed-form approximation of the likelihood functions of an arbitrary diffusion process. The approximation is based on an exponential ansatz of the transition probability for a finite time step $\Delta t$, and a…

We establish integral tests and laws of the iterated logarithm at 0 and at $+\infty$, for the upper envelope of positive self-similar Markov processes. Our arguments are based on the Lamperti representation, time reversal arguments and on…

For suitable families of locally infinitely divisible Markov processes $\{\xi^{{\epsilon}}_t\}_{0\leq t\leq T}$ with frequent small jumps depending on a small parameter $\epsilon>0,$ precise asymptotics for large deviations of integral…

We introduce a general algorithm for the computation of the scale functions of a spectrally negative L\'evy process $X$, based on a natural weak approximation of $X$ via upwards skip-free continuous-time Markov chains with stationary…

We interpret the moment generating function ${\bf E}(e^{tX}):= {\rm exp}_F(t) \in {\bf R}[[t]]$ of a random variable $X$ as the exponential of an associated one-dimensional formal group law $F$ defined over ${\bf R}$.

We construct intrinsic on-and off-diagonal upper and lower estimates for the transition probability density of a L\'evy process in small time. By intrinsic we mean that such estimates reflect the structure of the characteristic exponent of…

Laws of the iterated logarithm of "limsup" type are studied for multi-dimensional selfsimilar processes $\{X(t)\}$ with independent increments having exponent $H$. It is proved that, for any positive increasing function $g(t)$ with…

In this article we study a homogeneous transient diffusion process $X$. We combine the theories of differential equations and of stochastic processes to obtain new results for homogeneous diffusion processes, generalizing the results of…

The infinitesimal generator of a one-dimensional strictly $\alpha$-stable process can be represented as a weighted sum of (right and left) Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives of order $\alpha$ and one obtains the fractional Laplacian…

We develop a gradient-flow theory for time-dependent functionals defined in abstract metric spaces. Global well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of solutions are provided. Conditions on functionals and metric spaces allow to consider the…

We consider decompositions of processes of the form $Y=f(t,X_t)$ where $X$ is a semimartingale. The function $f$ is not required to be differentiable, so It\^{o}'s lemma does not apply. In the case where $f(t,x)$ is independent of $t$, it…
