We consider the following question: if a function of the form $\int_0^{\infty}\varphi(t)\, e^{-xt}dt$ is completely monotonic, is it then $\varphi\ge0$? It turns out that the question is related to a moment problem. In the end we apply…
We characterise, in terms of their transition laws, the class of one-dimensional L\'evy processes whose graph has a continuously differentiable (planar) convex hull. We show that this phenomenon is exhibited by a broad class of infinite…
The escape from a given domain is one of the fundamental problems in statistical physics and the theory of stochastic processes. Here, we explore properties of the escape of an inertial particle driven by L\'evy noise from a bounded domain,…
We consider a wide class of increasing L\'evy processes perturbed by an independent Brownian motion as a degradation model. Such family contains almost all classical degradation models considered in the literature. Classically failure time…
A L\'evy processes resurrected in the positive half-line is a Markov process obtained by removing successively all jumps that make it negative. A natural question, given this construction, is whether the resulting process is absorbed at 0…
In [16], under mild conditions, a Wiener-Hopf type factorization is derived for the exponential functional of proper L\'evy processes. In this paper, we extend this factorization by relaxing a finite moment assumption as well as by…
In this paper, we solve exit problems for a level-dependent L\'evy process which is exponentially killed with a killing intensity that depends on the present state of the process. Moreover, we analyse the respective resolvents. All…
We study general properties for the family of stochastic processes with polynomial regression property, that is that every conditional moment of the process is a polynomial. It turns out that then there exists a family of polynomial…
We consider some special classes of L\'evy processes with no gaussian component whose L\'evy measure is of the type $\pi(dx)=e^{\gamma x}\nu(e^x-1) dx$, where $\nu$ is the density of the stable L\'evy measure and $\gamma$ is a positive…
We characterize real functions $f$ on an interval $(-\alpha,\alpha)$ for which the entrywise matrix function $[a_{ij}] \mapsto [f(a_{ij})]$ is positive, monotone and convex, respectively, in the positive semidefiniteness order. Fractional…
A multiplicative identity in law connecting the hitting times of completely asymmetric $\alpha-$stable L\'evy processes in duality is established. In the spectrally positive case, this identity allows with an elementary argument to compute…
In this paper we analyse time change equations (TCEs) for L\'evy-type processes in detail. To this end we establish a connection between TCEs and classical one-dimensional initial value problems (IVPs) which are easier to handle. Properties…
We study stochastic tree fluid networks driven by a multidimensional Levy process. We are interested in (the joint distribution of) the steady-state content in each of the buffers, the busy periods, and the idle periods. To investigate…
Long memory processes driven by L\'evy noise with finite second-order moments have been well studied in the literature. They form a very rich class of processes presenting an autocovariance function which decays like a power function. Here,…
We present a time change construction of affine processes with state-space $\mathbb{R}_+^m\times \mathbb{R}^n$. These processes were systematically studied in (Duffie, Filipovi\'c and Schachermayer, 2003) since they contain interesting…
Conditioning Markov processes to avoid a set is a classical problem that has been studied in many settings. In the present article we study the question if a Levy process can be conditioned to avoid an interval and, if so, the path behavior…
In contrast to their seemingly simple and shared structure of independence and stationarity, L\'evy processes exhibit a wide variety of behaviors, from the self-similar Wiener process to piecewise-constant compound Poisson processes.…
In this paper we first provide several conditional limit theorems for L\'evy processes with negative drift and regularly varying tail. Then we apply them to study the asymptotic behavior of expectations of some exponential functionals of…
The class of Levy processes for which overshoots are almost surely constant quantities is precisely characterized.
Let (X_t, t >=0) be a Levy process started at 0, with Levy measure nu, and T_x the first hitting time of level x>0: T_x := inf{t>=0; X_t>x}. Let F(theta,mu,rho,.) be the joint Laplace transform of (T_x, K_x, L_x): F(theta,mu,rho,x) := E…
