L\'{e}vy flight models whose jumps have infinite moments are mathematically used to describe the superdiffusion in complex systems. Exponentially tempering the Levy measure of L\'{e}vy flights leads to the tempered stable L\'{e}vy processes…
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…
We consider a random walk in random environment with random holding times, that is, the random walk jumping to one of its nearest neighbors with some transition probability after a random holding time. Both the transition probabilities and…
We study space-time fluctuations around a characteristic line for a one-dimensional interacting system known as the random average process. The state of this system is a real-valued function on the integers. New values of the function are…
Random walk simulation of the Levy flight shows a linear relation between the mean square displacement <r2> and time. We have analyzed different aspects of this linearity. It is shown that the restriction of jump length to a maximum value…
Without higher moment assumptions, this note establishes the decay of the Kolmogorov distance in a central limit theorem for L\'evy processes. This theorem can be viewed as a continuous-time extension of the classical random walk result by…
Levy walks are random processes with an underlying spatiotemporal coupling. This coupling penalizes long jumps, and therefore Levy walks give a proper stochastic description for a particle's motion with broad jump length distribution. We…
Exploiting the coherent medium approximation, random walk among sites distributed randomly in space is investigated when the jump rate depends on the distance between two adjacent sites. In one dimension, it is shown that when the jump rate…
The standard Levy walk is performed by a particle that moves ballistically between randomly occurring collisions, when the intercollision time is a random variable governed by a power-law distribution. During instantaneous collision events…
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…
We study symmetric L\'evy flights in a semi-infinite domain $[0,\infty)$ with a reflecting and absorbing boundary at 0. To this end, we use the fractional differential equation that governs the L\'evy process. Incorporating the boundary…
A L\'evy random medium, in a given space, is a random point process where the distances between points, a.k.a. targets, are long-tailed. Random walks visiting the targets of a L\'evy random medium have been used to model many (physical,…
The search for hidden targets is a fundamental problem in many areas of science, engineering, and other fields. Studies of search processes often adopt a probabilistic framework, in which a searcher randomly explores a spatial domain for a…
This article is about right inverses of Levy processes as first introduced by Evans in the symmetric case and later studied systematically by the present authors and their co-authors. Here we add to the existing fluctuation theory an…
We consider L\'{e}vy flights characterized by the step index $f$ in a quenched random force field. By means of a dynamic renormalization group analysis we find that the dynamic exponent $z$ for $f<2$ locks onto $f$, independent of dimension…
We analyze two different confining mechanisms for L\'{e}vy flights in the presence of external potentials. One of them is due to a conservative force in the corresponding Langevin equation. Another is implemented by Levy-Schroedinger…
Building upon the knowledge of the distribution of the first positive position reached by a random walker starting from the origin, one can derive new results on the statistics of the gap between the largest and second-largest positions of…
We propose a simple model based on the Gnedenko limit theorem for simulation and studies of the ordinary Levy motion, that is, a random process, whose increments are independent and distributed with a stable probability law. We use the…
The reflected process of a random walk or L\'evy process arises in many areas of applied probability, and a question of particular interest is how the tail of the distribution of the heights of the excursions away from zero behaves…
We study a class of discrete-time random walks in $\mathbb{R}^d$ whose conditional drift decays polynomially in time and grows polynomially with the distance from the origin to the current position. This class is related to several models…
