We investigate solutions of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE) with time delayed generators driven by Brownian motions and Poisson random measures, that constitute the two components of a Levy process. In this new type of…
In this article, we consider the problem of periodic homogenization of a Feller process generated by a pseudo-differential operator, the so-called L\'evy-type process. Under the assumptions that the generator has rapidly periodically…
We develop a computational method for expected functionals of the drawdown and its duration in exponential L\'evy models. It is based on a novel simulation algorithm for the joint law of the state, supremum and time the supremum is attained…
The optimal stopping problem for a Hunt processes on $\R$ is considered via the representation theory of excessive functions. In particular, we focus on infinite horizon (or perpetual) problems with one-sided structure, that is, there…
We study long time behavior of integrated trawl processes introduced by Barndorff-Nielsen. The trawl processes form a class of stationary infinitely divisible processes, described by an infinitely divisible random measure (L\'evy base) and…
We compute exactly the full distribution of the number $m$ of local minima in a one-dimensional landscape generated by a random walk or a L\'evy flight. We consider two different ensembles of landscapes, one with a fixed number of steps $N$…
The paper is devoted to the study of the short rate equation of the form $$ dR(t)=F(R(t)) dt +\sum_{i=1}^{d}G(R(t-))dZ_i(t)$$ with deterministic functions $F,G_1,...,G_d$ and a multivariate L\'evy process $Z=(Z_1,...,Z_d)$ with possibly…
We prove a new generation result in $L^1$ for a large class of non-local operators with non-degenerate local terms. This class contains the operators appearing in Fokker-Planck or Kolmogorov forward equations associated with L\'evy driven…
Random walk is a fundamental concept with applications ranging from quantum physics to econometrics. Remarkably, one specific model of random walks appears to be ubiquitous across many fields as a tool to analyze transport phenomena in…
Consider the geometric inverse problem: There is a set of delta-sources in spacetime that emit waves travelling at unit speed. If we know all the arrival times at the boundary cylinder of the spacetime, can we reconstruct the space, a…
We study L\'evy flights confined in a parabolic potential. This has to do with a fractional generalization of ordinary quantum-mechanical oscillator problem. To solve the spectral problem for the fractional quantum oscillator, we pass to…
What is the analogue of L\'evy processes for random surfaces? Motivated by scaling limits of random planar maps in random geometry, we introduce and study L\'evy looptrees and L\'evy maps. They are defined using excursions of general L\'evy…
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 consider one-dimensional discrete-time random walks (RWs) with arbitrary symmetric and continuous jump distributions $f(\eta)$, including the case of L\'evy flights. We study the expected maximum ${\mathbb E}[M_n]$ of bridge RWs, i.e.,…
In this work, we investigate positive recurrent L\'evy diffusions driven by appropriately scaled Brownian motion and $\alpha$-stable process (with $1<\alpha<2$) in the small noise regime. Supposing that in the vanishing noise limit, our…
We introduce a new transportation distance between probability measures that is built from a L\'evy jump kernel. It is defined via a non-local variant of the Benamou-Brenier formula. We study geometric and topological properties of this…
This paper provides a multivariate extension of Bertoin's pathwise construction of a L\'evy process conditioned to stay positive/negative. Thus obtained processes conditioned to stay in half-spaces are closely related to the original…
We analyze two different confining mechanisms for L\'{e}vy flights in the presence of external potentials. One of them is due to a conservative force in the corresponding Langevin equation. Another is implemented by Levy-Schroedinger…
We study the potential theory of a large class of infinite dimensional L\'evy processes, including Brownian motion on abstract Wiener spaces. The key result is the construction of compact Lyapunov functions, i.e. excessive functions with…
We study Markovian continuous-time random walk models for L\'evy flights and we show an example in which the convergence to stable densities is not guaranteed when jumps follow a bi-modal power-law distribution that is equal to zero in…
