We introduce and study some queueing models with random resetting, including Markovian and non--Markovian models. The Markovian models include M/M/$\infty$, M/M/r and M/M/1+M queues with random resetting, in which a continuous-time Markov…

The processes described in the title always have reversible stationary distributions. In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of, and for the nonexistence of, nonreversible stationary distributions. In the case of an…

We study the existence and uniqueness of the solution for the following backward stochastic variational inequality with oblique reflection (for short, $BSVI\left(H(t,y),\varphi,F\right)$), written under differential form \[…

Consider a one-dimensional diffusion process which has state-dependent drift and deviation and is reflected at the origin, which is called a one-side reflected diffusion or simply reflected diffusion. We are particularly interested in the…

In this paper, we introduce branching processes in a L\'evy random environment. In order to define this class of processes, we study a particular class of non-negative stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motions and Poisson…

We consider a Lindley process with Laplace distributed space increments. We obtain closed form recursive expressions for the density function of the position of the process and for its first exit time distribution from the domain $[0,h]$.…

The concept of a L\'evy subordinator is generalized to a family of non-decreasing stochastic processes, which are parameterized in terms of two Bernstein functions. Whereas the independent increments property is only maintained in the…

This paper mainly investigates reflected stochastic recursive control problems governed by jump-diffusion dynamics. The system's state evolution is described by a stochastic differential equation driven by both Brownian motion and Poisson…

We consider two-dimensional L\'evy processes reflected to stay in the positive quadrant. Our focus is on the non-standard regime when the mean of the free process is negative but the reflection vectors point away from the origin, so that…

The aim of the paper is to prove the existence and uniqueness of the $L^{p}$--variational solution, with $p>1,$ of the following multivalued backward stochastic differential equation with $p$--integrable data: \begin{equation*} \left\{…

We derive an efficient stochastic algorithm for inverse problems that present an unknown linear forcing term and a set of nonlinear parameters to be recovered. It is assumed that the data is noisy and that the linear part of the problem is…

A new class of integer-valued autoregressive models with dynamic survival probability is proposed. The peculiarity of this class of models lies on the specification of the survival probability through a stochastic recurrence equation. The…

We give a representation of the solution for a stochastic linear equation of the form $X_t=Y_t+\int_{(0,t]}X_{s-} \mathrm {d}{Z}_s$ where $Z$ is a c\'adl\'ag semimartingale and $Y$ is a c\'adl\'ag adapted process with bounded variation on…

In this article, we introduce and study a one sided tempered stable first order autoregressive model called TAR(1). Under the assumption of stationarity of the model, the marginal probability density function of the error term is found. It…

This paper considers the problem of estimating probabilities of the form $\mathbb{P}(Y \leq w)$, for a given value of $w$, in the situation that a sample of i.i.d.\ observations $X_1, \ldots, X_n$ of $X$ is available, and where we…

In the first part of this thesis, we study a Markov chain on $\mathbb{R}_+ \times S$, where $\mathbb{R}_+$ is the non-negative real numbers and $S$ is a finite set, in which when the $\mathbb{R}_+$-coordinate is large, the $S$-coordinate of…

An approach for the description of stochastic systems is derived. Some of the variables in the system are studied forward in time, others backward in time. The approach is based on a perturbation expansion in the strength of the coupling…

The initial-values problem of the following nonlinear autonomous recursion of order p , z (s + p) = c product of [z (s + l)]^a_l ; with p an arbitrary positive integer, z (s) the dependent variable (possibly a complex number), s the…

We consider a particle moving on the half line $x>0$ and subject to a constant force in the $-x$ direction plus a delta-correlated random force. At $x=0$ the particle is reflected inelastically. The velocities just after and before…

Improving the efficiency of discrete time scale invariant (DSI) processes, we consider some flexible sampling of a continuous time DSI process ${X(t), t\in{R^+}}$ with scale $l>1$, which is in correspondence to some multi-dimensional…
