For real-valued additive process $(X\_t)\_{t\geq 0}$ a recursive equation is derived for the entire positive moments of functionals $$I\_{s,t}= \int \_s^t\exp(-X\_u)du, \quad 0\leq s<t\leq\infty, $$ in case the Laplace exponent of $X\_t$…

The aim of this paper is the analysis of the fractional Poisson process where the state probabilities $p_k^{\nu_k}(t)$, $t\ge 0$, are governed by time-fractional equations of order $0<\nu_k\leq 1$ depending on the number $k$ of events…

Motivated by entropic optimal transport, time reversal of diffusion processes is revisited. An integration by parts formula is derived for the carr\'e du champ of a Markov process in an abstract space. It leads to a time reversal formula…

A new approach for the weak noise analysis of exit problems removes an intrinsic contradiction of an existing method. It applies for both the mean time and the location of the exits; novel outcomes mainly concern the exits from entire…
