For $n$ equidistant observations of a L\'evy process at time distance $\Delta_n$ we consider the problem of testing hypotheses on the volatility, the jump measure and its Blumenthal-Getoor index in a non- or semiparametric manner.…

We examine the question of existence and uniqueness of evolution systems of measures for non-autonomous Ornstein-Uhlenbeck-type processes with jumps. In particular, we give examples where we explicitly compute the densities of such families…

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 mathematical finance, Levy processes are widely used for their ability to model both continuous variation and abrupt, discontinuous jumps. These jumps are practically relevant, so reliable inference on the feature that controls jump…

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…

Given an It\=o semimartingale with a time-homogeneous jump part observed at high frequency, we prove weak convergence of a normalized truncated empirical distribution function of the L\'evy measure to a Gaussian process. In contrast to…

We consider the problem of the simulation of Levy-driven stochastic differential equations. It is generally impossible to simulate the increments of a Levy-process. Thus in addition to an Euler scheme, we have to simulate approximately…

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 construct in the small-time setting the upper and lower estimates for the transition probability density of a L\'evy process in $\rn$. Our approach relies on the complex analysis technique and the asymptotic analysis of the inverse…

The pricing of options in exponential Levy models amounts to the computation of expectations of functionals of Levy processes. In many situations, Monte-Carlo methods are used. However, the simulation of a Levy process with infinite Levy…

In many real-world scenarios, the underlying random fluctuations are non-Gaussian, particularly in contexts where heavy-tailed data distributions arise. A typical example of such non-Gaussian phenomena calls for L\'evy noise, which…

The aim of this paper is to establish a global asymptotic equivalence between the experiments generated by the discrete (high frequency) or continuous observation of a path of a L{\'e}vy process and a Gaussian white noise experiment…

We consider estimation of a step function $f$ from noisy observations of a deconvolution $\phi*f$, where $\phi$ is some bounded $L_1$-function. We use a penalized least squares estimator to reconstruct the signal $f$ from the observations,…
