We study boundary traces of shift-invariant diffusions: two-dimensional diffusions in the upper half-plane $\mathbb{R} \times [0, \infty)$ (or in $\mathbb{R} \times [0, R)$) invariant under horizontal translations. We prove that the…

We show that weak solutions to conormal derivative problem for elliptic equations in divergence form are continuously differentiable up to the boundary provided that the mean oscillations of the leading coefficients satisfy the Dini…

We introduce a variational theory for processes adapted to the multi-dimensional Brownian motion filtration. The theory provides a differential structure which describes the infinitesimal evolution of Wiener functionals at very small…

Let $E$ be the class of finite (resp. probability) measures absolutely continuous with respect to a $\sigma$-finite Radon measure on a Polish space. We present a criterion on the quasi-regularity of Dirichlet forms on $E$ in terms of upper…

For a general c\`adl\`ag L\'evy process on a separable Banach space $V$ we estimate values of $\inf_{Y\in{\cal A}_X} \mathbb{E}\left\{ \psi\left( \Vert X - Y \Vert_\infty\right) + \mathrm{TV}(Y[0,T]) \right\}$, where ${\cal A}_X$ is the…

The aim of this paper is to investigate discrete approximations of the exponential functional $\int_0^{\infty} \exp(B(t) - \nu t) \di t$ of Brownian motion (which plays an important role in Asian options of financial mathematics) by the…

This paper is concerned with dynamic user equilibrium (DUE) with elastic travel demand (E-DUE). We present and prove a variational inequality (VI) formulation of E-DUE using measure-theoretic argument. Moreover, existence of the E-DUE is…

This article deals with IDT processes, i.e. processes which are infinitely divisible with respect to time. Given an IDT process $(X_{t},\,t\geq0)$, there exists a unique (in law) L\'evy process $(L_{t}; t\geq0)$ which has the same…

This work concerns the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type process associated to a positive self-similar Markov process $(X(t))_{t\geq 0}$ which drifts to $\infty$, namely $U(t):= {\rm e}^{-t}X({\rm e}^t-1)$. We point out that $U$ is always a…

It is common practice to treat small jumps of L\'evy processes as Wiener noise and thus to approximate its marginals by a Gaussian distribution. However, results that allow to quantify the goodness of this approximation according to a given…

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…

We consider a stochastic volatility model with L\'evy jumps for a log-return process $Z=(Z_{t})_{t\geq 0}$ of the form $Z=U+X$, where $U=(U_{t})_{t\geq 0}$ is a classical stochastic volatility process and $X=(X_{t})_{t\geq 0}$ is an…

In this paper, we prove borderline gradient continuity of viscosity solutions to Fully nonlinear elliptic equations at the boundary of a $C^{1,\dini}$-domain. Our main result Theorem 3.1 is a sharpening of the boundary gradient estimate…

In the L\'evy construction of Brownian motion, a Haar-derived basis of functions is used to form a finite-dimensional process $W^{N}$ and to define the Wiener process as the almost sure path-wise limit of $W^{N}$ when $N$ tends to infinity.…

We consider Kallenberg's hypothesis on the characteristic function of a L\'{e}vy process and show that it allows the construction of weakly continuous bridges of the L\'{e}vy process conditioned to stay positive. We therefore provide a…

We extend de Finetti's (1937) notion of exchangeability to finite and countable sequences of variables, when a subject's beliefs about them are modelled using coherent lower previsions rather than (linear) previsions. We prove…

A step reinforced random walk is a discrete time process with memory such that at each time step, with fixed probability $p \in (0,1)$, it repeats a previously performed step chosen uniformly at random while with complementary probability…

Given an increasing process $(A_t)_{t\geq 0}$, we characterize the right-continuous non-decreasing functions $f: \R_+\to \R_+$ that map $A$ to a pure-jump process. As an example of application, we show for instance that functions with…

We introduce an elementary method for proving the absolute continuity of the time marginals of one-dimensional processes. It is based on a comparison between the Fourier transform of such time marginals with those of the one-step Euler…

We study the rate of convergence of some recursive procedures based on some "exact" or "approximate" Euler schemes which converge to the invariant measure of an ergodic SDE driven by a L\'{e}vy process. The main interest of this work is to…
