For L\'evy processes with exponentially decaying tails of the L\'evy density, we derive integral representations for the joint cpdf $V$ of $(X_T, \bar X_T,\tau_T)$ (the process, its supremum evaluated at $T<+\infty$, and the first time at…

In this article, we propose a way to consider processes indexed by a collection $\mathcal{A}$ of subsets of a general set $\mathcal{T}$. A large class of vector spaces, manifolds and continuous $\mathbb{R}$-trees are particular cases.…

We propose a class of \textit{Euler-Lagrange} equations indexed by a pair of parameters ($\alpha,r$) that generalizes Nesterov's accelerated gradient methods for convex ($\alpha=1$) and strongly convex ($\alpha=0$) functions from a…

In this paper we introduce a new approach for approximately counting in bounded degree systems with higher-order constraints. Our main result is an algorithm to approximately count the number of solutions to a CNF formula $\Phi$ when the…

The Hardy operator $T_a$ on a tree $\G$ is defined by \[(T_af)(x):=v(x) \int^x_a u(t)f(t) dt \qquad {for} a, x\in \G. \] Properties of $T_a$ as a map from $L^p(\G)$ into itself are established for $1\le p \le \infty$. The main result is…

We study an inverse first-passage-time problem for Wiener process $X(t)$ subject to hold and jump from a boundary $c.$ Let be given a threshold $S>X(0) \ge c,$ and a distribution function $F$ on $[0, + \infty ).$ The problem consists in…

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…

L\'evy Flights are paradigmatic generalised random walk processes, in which the independent stationary increments---the "jump lengths"---are drawn from an $\alpha$-stable jump length distribution with long-tailed, power-law asymptote. As a…

We present and demonstrate a version of Levinson's theorem especially dedicated to the asymptotic behavior of form factor phases. Indeed, as required by analyticity, form factors are multi-valued complex functions of a square four-momentum…

When a Brownian motion is scaled according to the law of the iterated logarithm, its supremum converges to one as time tends to zero. Upper large deviations of the supremum process can be quantified by writing the problem in terms of…

For given two standard processes with no positive jumps, we construct, using the excursion theory, a Markov process whose positive and negative motions have the same law as the two processes. The resulting process is a generalization of…

We give several general theorems concerning positive definite solutions of Riemann-Hilbert problems on the real line. Furthermore, as an example, we apply our theory to the characteristic function of a class of L\'{e}vy processes and we…

We discuss the approximate phenomenological description of the motion of a single second-class particle in a two-species totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on a 1D lattice. Initially, the second class particle is located at…

Last passage times arise in a number of areas of applied probability, including risk theory and degradation models. Such times are obviously not stopping times since they depend on the whole path of the underlying process. We consider the…

Constructing \Levy-driven Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes is a task closely related to the notion of self-decomposability. In particular, their transition laws are linked to the properties of what will be hereafter called the \emph{a-reminder}…

We consider a random walk on the first quadrant of the square lattice, whose increment law is, roughly speaking, homogeneous along a finite number of half-lines near each of the two boundaries, and hence essentially specified by…

We consider the first-crossing-time problem through a constant boundary for a Wiener process perturbed by random jumps driven by a counting process. On the base of a sample-path analysis of the jump-diffusion process we obtain explicit…

The application of control tools to complex flows frequently requires approximations, such as reduced-order models and/or simplified forcing assumptions, where these may be considered low-rank or defined in terms of simplified statistics…

In this paper we consider an additive functional of an observable $V(x)$ of a Markov jump process. We assume that the law of the expected jump time $t(x)$ under the invariant probability measure $\pi$ of the skeleton chain belongs to the…

We study the upper tail behaviors of the local times of the additive stable processes. Let $X_1(t),...,X_p(t)$ be independent, d-dimensional symmetric stable processes with stable index $0<\alpha\le 2$ and consider the additive stable…
