We present a method for computing the likelihood of a mixed hitting-time model that specifies durations as the first time a latent L\'evy process crosses a heterogeneous threshold. This likelihood is not generally known in closed form, but…
Scale functions play a central role in the fluctuation theory of spectrally negative L\'evy processes and often appear in the context of martingale relations. These relations are often complicated to establish requiring excursion theory in…
For a spectrally positive strictly stable process with index in (1,2), the paper obtains i) the density of the time when the process makes first exit from an interval by hitting the interval's lower end point before jumping over its upper…
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…
In this work, we consider moments of exponential functionals of L\'{e}vy processes on a deterministic horizon. We derive two convolutional identities regarding these moments. The first one relates the complex moments of the exponential…
We consider a spectrally negative branching L{\'e}vy process in which particles are killed upon crossing below zero. It is known that such a process becomes extinct almost surely if the drift toward -$\infty$ is sufficiently strong to…
We obtain series expansions of the $q$-scale functions of arbitrary spectrally negative L\'evy processes, including processes with infinite jump activity, and use these to derive various new examples of explicit $q$-scale functions.…
We study the ergodic properties of superdiffusive, spatiotemporally coupled Levy walk processes. For trajectories of finite duration, we reveal a distinct scatter of the scaling exponents of the time averaged mean squared displacement…
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…
Using a very simple argument based on the indepenence of increments and the fact that in a finite dimensional space $R^{d}$ there are not too many directions, we derive a theorem stating that exit time of any (non-constant) L\'{e}vy process…
We consider the spectrally negative Levy processes and determine the joint laws for the quantities such as the first and last passage times over a fixed level, the overshoots and undershoots at first passage, the minimum, the maximum and…
Several long-time limit theorems of one-dimensional L\'evy processes weighted and normalized by functions of its supremum are studied. The long-time limits are taken via the families of exponential times and that of constant times, called…
The reflected process of a random walk or L\'evy process arises in many areas of applied probability, and a question of particular interest is how the tail of the distribution of the heights of the excursions away from zero behaves…
An obvious way to simulate a L\'evy process $X$ is to sample its increments over time $1/n$, thus constructing an approximating random walk $X^{(n)}$. This paper considers the error of such approximation after the two-sided reflection map…
Continuous time random walks combining diffusive and ballistic regimes are introduced to describe a class of L\'evy walks on lattices. By including exponentially-distributed waiting times separating the successive jump events of a walker,…
L\'evy stochastic processes, with noise distributed according to a L\'evy stable distribution, are ubiquitous in science. Focusing on the case of a particle trapped in an external harmonic potential, we address the problem of finding…
We study L\'evy walks in quenched disordered one-dimensional media, with scatterers spaced according to a long-tailed distribution. By analyzing the scaling relations for the random-walk probability and for the resistivity in the equivalent…
We compute the exponential decay of the probability that a given multi-dimensional random walk stays in a convex cone up to time $n$, as $n$ goes to infinity. We show that the latter equals the minimum, on the dual cone, of the Laplace…
The escape from a potential well is an archetypal problem in the study of stochastic dynamical systems, representing real-world situations from chemical reactions to leaving an established home range in movement ecology. Concurrently,…
For spectrally positive L\'evy processes killed on exiting the half-line, existence of a quasi-stationary distribution is characterized by the exponential integrability of the exit time, the Laplace exponent and the non-negativity of the…
