Bernstein's theorem (also called Hausdorff--Bernstein--Widder theorem) enables the integral representation of a completely monotonic function. We introduce a finite completely monotonic function, which is a completely monotonic function…
L\'evy processes, known for their ability to model complex dynamics with skewness, heavy tails and discontinuities, play a critical role in stochastic modeling across various domains. However, inference for most L\'evy processes, whether in…
In this article we introduce a three-parameter extension of the bivariate exponential-geometric (BEG) law (Kozubowski and Panorska, 2005). We refer to this new distribution as bivariate gamma-geometric (BGG) law. A bivariate random vector…
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 prove sharp two-sided estimates on the tail probability of the first hitting time of bounded interval as well as its asymptotic behaviour for general non-symmetric processes which satisfy an integral condition \[ \int_0^{\infty}…
This text surveys properties and applications of the exponential functional $\int_0^t\exp(-\xi_s)ds$ of real-valued L\'evy processes $\xi=(\xi_t,t\geq0)$.
We investigate a random integral which provides a natural example of an imaginary exponential functional of Brownian motion. This functional shows up in the study of the binary annihilation process, within the Doi-Peliti formalism for…
For a given L\'{e}vy process $X=(X_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}_+}$ and for fixed $s\in \mathbb{R}_{+}\cup\{\infty\}$ and $t\in\mathbb{R}_+$ we analyse the {\it future drawdown extremes} that are defined as follows: \begin{eqnarray*} \overline…

Statistical inference for stochastic processes based on high-frequency observations has been an active research area for more than two decades. One of the most well-known and widely studied problems has been the estimation of the quadratic…

Let $\{X_{1}(t)\}_{0\leq t\leq1}$ and $\{X_{2}(t)\}_{0\leq t\leq1}$ be two independent continuous centered Gaussian processes with covariance functions$R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$. This paper shows that if the covariance functions are of finite…
Scaling properties of time series are usually studied in terms of the scaling laws of empirical moments, which are the time average estimates of moments of the dynamic variable. Nonlinearities in the scaling function of empirical moments…
Consider a multivariate L\'evy-driven Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process where the stationary distribution or background driving L\'evy process is from a parametric family. We derive the likelihood function assuming that the innovation term is…
In this paper we introduce the well-balanced L\'{e}vy driven Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process as a moving average process of the form $X_t=\int \exp(-\lambda |t-u|)dL_u$. In contrast to L\'{e}vy driven Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes the…
The aim of this paper is to study the laws of the exponential functionals of the processes $X$ with independent increments, namely $$I_t= \int _0^t\exp(-X_s)ds, \,\, t\geq 0,$$ and also $$I_{\infty}= \int _0^{\infty}\exp(-X_s)ds.$$ Under…
L\'{e}vy processes with completely monotone jumps appear frequently in various applications of probability. For example, all popular stock price models based on L\'{e}vy processes (such as the Variance Gamma, CGMY/KoBoL and Normal Inverse…
In this paper we establish functional Erd\H{o}s-Renyi laws for L\'evy processes, i.e. limit theorems for sets of functions on [0,1] associated to their increments. First, we determine precise conditions under which, in a general framework,…
We study the small-time asymptotics of sample paths of L\'evy processes and L\'evy-type processes. Namely, we investigate under which conditions the limit $$\limsup_{t \to 0} \frac{1}{f(t)} |X_t-X_0|$$ is finite resp.\ infinite with…
We develop new representations for the Levy measures of the beta and gamma processes. These representations are manifested in terms of an infinite sum of well-behaved (proper) beta and gamma distributions. Further, we demonstrate how these…
