We consider a Levy flyer of order alpha that starts from a point x0 on an interval [O,L] with absorbing boundaries. We find a closed-form expression for the average number of flights the flyer takes and the total length of the flights it…
We discuss an impact of various (path-wise) reflection-from-the barrier scenarios upon confining properties of a paradigmatic family of symmetric $\alpha $-stable L\'{e}vy processes, whose permanent residence in a finite interval on a line…
We consider a process $Z$ on the real line composed from a L\'evy process and its exponentially tilted version killed with arbitrary rates and give an expression for the joint law of $Z$ seen from its supremum, the supremum $\overline Z$…
An important open problem in the theory of L\'evy flights concerns the analytically tractable formulation of absorbing boundary conditions. Although numerical studies using the correctly defined nonlocal approach have yielded substantial…
The {\em drawdown} process $Y$ of a completely asymmetric L\'{e}vy process $X$ is equal to $X$ reflected at its running supremum $\bar{X}$: $Y = \bar{X} - X$. In this paper we explicitly express in terms of the scale function and the…
It is given an effective upper estimate of expectation of |T_1-T_2|, where T_1 and T_2 are the first exit times from a region for two vector diffusion processes.
Let $\{D(s), s \geq 0\}$ be a non-decreasing L\'evy process. The first-hitting time process $\{E(t) t \geq 0\}$ (which is sometimes referred to as an inverse subordinator) defined by $E(t) = \inf \{s: D(s) > t \}$ is a process which has…
In this paper we analyze the transient behavior of the workload process in a L\'evy input queue. We are interested in the value of the workload process at a random epoch; this epoch is distributed as the sum of independent exponential…
In this paper we present new theoretical results on optimal estimation of certain random quantities based on high frequency observations of a L\'evy process. More specifically, we investigate the asymptotic theory for the conditional mean…
We derive subexponential tail asymptotics for the distribution of the maximum of a compound renewal process with linear component and of a L\'evy process, both with negative drift, over random time horizon $\tau$ that does not depend on the…
Several long-time limit theorems of one-dimensional L\'{e}vy processes weighted and normalized by functions of the local time are studied. The long-time limits are taken via certain families of random times, called clocks: exponential…
In this paper, we study the L\'evy process time-changed by independent L\'evy subordinators, namely, the incomplete gamma subordinator, the $\epsilon$-jumps incomplete gamma subordinator and tempered incomplete gamma subordinator. We derive…
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…
We study the speed of extinction of continuous state branching processes in a L\'evy environment, where the associated L\'evy process oscillates. Assuming that the L\'evy process satisfies the Spitzer's condition and the existence of some…
We characterize the small-time asymptotic behavior of the exit probability of a L\'evy process out of a two-sided interval and of the law of its overshoot, conditionally on the terminal value of the process. The asymptotic expansions are…
We consider nonparametric statistical inference for L\'evy processes sampled irregularly, at low frequency. The estimation of the jump dynamics as well as the estimation of the distributional density are investigated. Non-asymptotic risk…
Several aspects of the laws of first hitting times of points are investigated for one-dimensional symmetric stable L\'evy processes. It\^o's excursion theory plays a key role in this study.
In this paper, we derive explicit formulas for the surface averaged first exit time of a discrete random walk on a finite lattice. We consider a wide class of random walks and lattices, including random walks in a non-trivial potential…
This paper considers a L\'evy-driven queue (i.e., a L\'evy process reflected at 0), and focuses on the distribution of $M(t)$, that is, the minimal value attained in an interval of length $t$ (where it is assumed that the queue is in…
In this paper, we identify Laplace transforms of occupation times of intervals until first passage times for spectrally negative L\'evy processes. New analytical identities for scale functions are derived and therefore the results are…
