We solve an adaptive search model where a random walker or L\'evy flight stochastically resets to previously visited sites on a $d$-dimensional lattice containing one trapping site. Due to reinforcement, a phase transition occurs when the…
These lectures notes aim at introducing L\'{e}vy processes in an informal and intuitive way, accessible to non-specialists in the field. In the first part, we focus on the theory of L\'{e}vy processes. We analyze a `toy' example of a…
Several long-time limit theorems of one-dimensional L\'evy processes weighted and normalized by functions of its supremum are studied. The long-time limits are taken via the families of exponential times and that of constant times, called…
We consider two-dimensional L\'evy processes reflected to stay in the positive quadrant. Our focus is on the non-standard regime when the mean of the free process is negative but the reflection vectors point away from the origin, so that…
It is well known that under some conditions the almost sure survival probability of a multitype branching processes in random environment is positive if the Lyapunov exponent corresponding to the expectation matrices is positive, and zero…
Given a general critical or sub-critical branching mechanism, we define a pruning procedure of the associated L\'evy continuum random tree. This pruning procedure is defined by adding some marks on the tree, using L\'evy snake techniques.…
L\'evy walks are continuous time random walks with spatio-temporal coupling of jump lengths and waiting times, often used to model superdiffusive spreading processes such as animals searching for food, tracer motion in weakly chaotic…
It is well-known that 0 is the absorbing state for a branching system. Each particle in the system lives a random long time and gives a random number of new particles at its death time. It stops when the system has no particle. This paper…
In this paper we introduce a new class of L\'evy processes which we call hypergeometric-stable L\'evy processes, because they are obtained from symmetric stable processes through several transformations and where the Gauss hypergeometric…
We describe basic motivations behind quantum or noncommutative probability, introduce quantum L\'evy processes on compact quantum groups, and discuss several aspects of the study of the latter in the example of quantum permutation groups.…
Let $a\in (0,\infty)$. For a spectrally negative L\'evy process $X$ with infinite variation paths the resolvent of the process killed on hitting the two-point set $V=\{-a,a\}$ is identified. When further $X$ has no diffusion component the…
We establish two equivalent versions of the Darling--Erd\H{o}s theorem for L\'evy processes in the domain of attraction of a stable process at zero with index $\alpha\in(0,2)$. In the course of our proof we obtain a number of maximal and…
Given a two-sided real-valued L\'evy process $(X_t)_{t \in \mathbb{R}}$, define processes $(L_t)_{t \in \mathbb{R}}$ and $(M_t)_{t \in \mathbb{R}}$ by $L_t := \sup\{h \in \mathbb{R} : h - \alpha(t-s) \le X_s \text{ for all } s \le t\} =…
We consider the following Markovian dynamic on point processes: at constant rate and with equal probability, either the rightmost atom of the current configuration is removed, or a new atom is added at a random distance from the rightmost…
We consider a L\'evy driven continuous time moving average process $X$ sampled at random times which follow a renewal structure independent of $X$. Asymptotic normality of the sample mean, the sample autocovariance, and the sample…
A step reinforced random walk is a discrete time process with memory such that at each time step, with fixed probability $p \in (0,1)$, it repeats a previously performed step chosen uniformly at random while with complementary probability…
A spectrally positive additive L\'evy field is a multidimensional field obtained as the sum $\mathbf{X}_{\rm t}={\rm X}^{(1)}_{t_1}+{\rm X}^{(2)}_{t_2}+\dots+{\rm X}^{(d)}_{t_d}$, ${\rm t}=(t_1,\dots,t_d)\in\mathbb{R}_+^d$, where ${\rm…
We show that if a L\'evy process creeps then, as a function of $u$, the renewal function $V(t,u)$ of the bivariate ascending ladder process $(L^{-1},H)$ is absolutely continuous on $[0,\infty)$ and left differentiable on $(0,\infty)$, and…
We obtain the first passage time density for a L\'{e}vy flight random process from a subordination scheme. By this method, we infer the asymptotic behavior directly from the Brownian solution and the Sparre Andersen theorem, avoiding…
We call a random point measure infinitely ramified if for every $n\in \mathbb N$, it has the same distribution as the $n$-th generation of some branching random walk. On the other hand, branching L\'evy processes model the evolution of a…
