We develop a new numerical method for approximating the infinite time reachable set of strictly stable linear control systems. By solving a linear program with a constraint that incorporates the system dynamics, we compute a polytope with…
We develop a general construction for nonlinear L\'evy processes with given characteristics. More precisely, given a set $\Theta$ of L\'evy triplets, we construct a sublinear expectation on Skorohod space under which the canonical process…
We present a heuristic derivation of the first passage time exponent for the integral of a random walk [Y. G. Sinai, Theor. Math. Phys. {\bf 90}, 219 (1992)]. Building on this derivation, we construct an estimation scheme to understand the…
Let $X(\cdot)$ be a non-degenerate, positive recurrent one-dimensional diffusion process on $\mathbb{R}$ with invariant probability density $\mu(x)$, and let $\tau_y=\inf\{t\ge0: X(t)=y\}$ denote the first hitting time of $y$. Let…

We consider the first hitting times of the Bessel processes. We give explicit expressions for the distribution functions and for the densities by means of the zeros of the Bessel functions. The results extend the classical ones and cover…
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…

In order to compute the log-likelihood for high dimensional spatial Gaussian models, it is necessary to compute the determinant of the large, sparse, symmetric positive definite precision matrix, Q. Traditional methods for evaluating the…
Iksanov and Pilipenko (2023) defined a skew stable L\'{e}vy process as a scaling limit of a sequence of perturbed at $0$ symmetric stable L\'{e}vy processes (continuous-time processes). Here, we provide a simpler construction of the skew…
In this paper we consider the problem of pricing a perpetual American put option in an exponential regime-switching L\'{e}vy model. For the case of the (dense) class of phase-type jumps and finitely many regimes we derive an explicit…
We describe a procedure based on the iteration of an initial function by an appropriated operator, acting on continuous functions, in order to get a fixed point. This fixed point will be a calibrated subaction for the doubling map on the…
Consider a point process in Euclidean space obtained by perturbing the integer lattice with independent and identically distributed random vectors. Under mild assumptions on the law of the perturbations, we construct a translation-invariant…
A collection $\{\bar{B}(x_n,r_n)\}_{n\ge 1}$ of pairwise disjoint balls in the Euclidean space $\R^d$ is said to be avoidable with respect to a transient process $X$ if the process with positive probability escapes to infinity without…
We consider finite element approximations of unique continuation problems subject to elliptic equations in the case where the normal derivative of the exact solution is known to reside in some finite dimensional space. To give quantitative…
For a spectrally negative L\'evy process (snLp) $X$, killed according to a rate that is a function $\omega$ of its position, we analyse the exit probability of the one-sided upwards-passage problem. When $\omega$ is strictly positive, this…
In this article we provide several exact formulae to calculate the probability that a random triangle chosen within a planar region (any Lebesgue measurable set of finite measure) contains a given fixed point $O$. These formulae are in…
L\'evy matrices are symmetric random matrices whose entry distributions lie in the domain of attraction of an $\alpha$-stable law. For $\alpha < 1$, predictions from the physics literature suggest that high-dimensional L\'{e}vy matrices…
Various recent results on quantum L\'evy processes are presented. The first part provides an introduction to the theory of L\'evy processes on involutive bialgebras. The notion of independence used for these processes is tensor…
We investigate the relation of the semigroup probability density of an infinite activity L\'{e}vy process to the corresponding L\'{e}vy density. For subordinators, we provide three methods to compute the former from the latter. The first…
