We obtain the lower bounds for ergodic convergence rates, including spectral gaps and convergence rates in strong ergodicity for time-changed symmetric L\'{e}vy processes by using harmonic function and reversible measure. As direct…
This paper concerns a scaling limit of a one-dimensional random walk $S^x_n$ started from $x$ on the integer lattice conditioned to avoid a non-empty finite set $A$, the random walk being assumed to be irreducible and have zero mean.…
Conditioning stable L\'evy processes on zero probability events recently became a tractable subject since several explicit formulas emerged from a deep analysis using the Lamperti transformations for self-similar Markov processes. In this…
In this thesis, we provide an initial investigation into bounds for topological entropy of switched linear systems. Entropy measures, roughly, the information needed to describe the behavior of a system with finite precision on finite time…
In this work, we address the question of the impossibility of certain single-letter formulas by exploiting the semi-algebraic nature of various entropy-constrained sets. The focus lies on studying the properties of the level sets of…
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…
It is proved that the law of a possibly killed L\'evy process $X$, seen up to and including (resp. up to strictly before) a stopping time, determines already the law of $X$ (resp. up to a compound Poisson component and killing).
Using a new approach, for spectrally negative L\'evy processes we find joint Laplace transforms involving the last exit time (from a semi-infinite interval), the value of the process at the last exit time and the associated occupation time,…
The class of Levy processes for which overshoots are almost surely constant quantities is precisely characterized.
Minimal thinness is a notion that describes the smallness of a set at a boundary point. In this paper, we provide tests for minimal thinness at finite and infinite minimal Martin boundary points for a large class of purely discontinuous…
This paper considers a finite sample perspective on the problem of identifying an LTI system from a finite set of possible systems using trajectory data. To this end, we use the maximum likelihood estimator to identify the true system and…
The paper introduces a novel algorithm for computing the output admissible set of linear discrete-time systems subject to input saturation. The proposed method takes advantage of the piecewise-affine dynamics to propagate the output…
In reinforcement learning, it is common to let an agent interact for a fixed amount of time with its environment before resetting it and repeating the process in a series of episodes. The task that the agent has to learn can either be to…
For one-dimensional diffusions on the half-line, we study a specific type of conditioning to avoid zero. We introduce supermartingales defined via concave functions with respect to the scale function. A conditioning is formulated through…
Given a spectrally negative L\'evy process and independent Poisson observation times, we consider a periodic barrier strategy that pushes the process down to a certain level whenever it is above it. We also consider the versions with…
We study the speed of extinction of continuous state branching processes in a L\'evy environment, where the associated L\'evy process oscillates. Assuming that the L\'evy process satisfies the Spitzer's condition and the existence of some…
A continuous-time particle system on the real line satisfying the branching property and an exponential integrability condition is called a branching L\'evy process, and its law is characterized by a triplet $(\sigma^2,a,\Lambda)$. We…
In this paper we derive a technique of obtaining limit theorems for suprema of L\'evy processes from their random walk counterparts. For each $a>0$, let $\{Y^{(a)}_n:n\ge 1\}$ be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random…
Two different ways of trimming the sample path of a stochastic process in D[0, 1]: global ("trim as you go") trimming and record time ("lookback") trimming are analysed to find conditions for the corresponding operators to be continuous…
We investigate the properties of multifractal products of geometric Gaussian processes with possible long-range dependence and geometric Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by L\'{e}vy motion and their finite and infinite superpositions. We…
