In this paper we show that a path-wise solution to the following integral equation $$ Y_t = \int_0^t f(Y_t) dX_t \qquad Y_0=a \in \R^d $$ exists under the assumption that X_t is a L\'evy process of finite p-variation for some $p \geq1$ and…
We study a combination of the refracted and reflected L\'evy processes. Given a spectrally negative L\'evy process and two boundaries, it is reflected at the lower boundary while, whenever it is above the upper boundary, a linear drift at a…
The characteristic measure of excursions away from a regular point is studied for a class of symmetric L\'evy processes without Gaussian part. It is proved that the harmonic transform of the killed process enjoys Feller property. The result…
In this paper we consider a general L\'{e}vy process $X$ reflected at downward periodic barrier $A_t$ and constant upper barrier $K$ giving a process $V^K_t=X_t+L^A_t-L^K_t$. We find the expression for a loss rate defined by $l^K=\mathbb{E}…
In this paper, we solve exit problems for a L\'evy process that resets proportionally to its current position at independent Poisson epochs times. This resetting causes an additional (proportional to its current level) downward (upward)…
We establish a large deviation principle for the normalized excursion and bridge of an $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process without negative jumps, with $1<\alpha<2$. Based on this, we derive precise asymptotics for the tail distributions of…
We study the exact asymptotics for the distribution of the first time $\tau_x$ a L\'evy process $X_t$ crosses a negative level $-x$. We prove that $\mathbf P(\tau_x>t)\sim V(x)\mathbf P(X_t\ge 0)/t$ as $t\to\infty$ for a certain function…
In this article we derive formulas for the probability $P(\sup_{t\leq T} X(t)>u)$ $T>0$ and $P(\sup_{t<\infty} X(t)>u)$ where $X$ is a spectrally positive L\'evy process with infinite variation. The formulas are generalizations of the…
For a multivariate L\'evy process satisfying the Cram\'er moment condition and having a drift vector with at least one negative component, we derive the exact asymptotics of the probability of ever hitting the positive orthant that is being…
We wish to characterise when a L\'{e}vy process $X_t$ crosses boundaries like $t^\kappa$, $\kappa>0$, in a one or two-sided sense, for small times $t$; thus, we enquire when $\limsup_{t\downarrow 0}|X_t|/t^{\kappa}$, $\limsup_{t\downarrow…
Recent studies have demonstrated an interesting connection between the asymptotic behavior at ruin of a L\'evy insurance risk process under the Cram\'er-Lundberg and convolution equivalent conditions. For example, the limiting distributions…
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…
We provide a L\'evy-It\^o decomposition of sample paths of L\'evy processes with values in complete locally convex Suslin spaces. This class of state spaces contains the well investigated examples of separable Banach spaces, as well as…
We present an explicit solution to the Skorokhod embedding problem for spectrally negative L\'evy processes. Given a process $X$ and a target measure $\mu$ satisfying an explicit admissibility condition we define functions $\f_\pm$ such…
We determine the rate of decrease of the right tail distribution of the exponential functional of a Levy process with a convolution equivalent Levy measure. Our main result establishes that it decreases as the right tail of the image under…
Lewis and Mordecki have computed the Wiener-Hopf factorization of a L\'evy process whose restriction on $]0,+\infty[$ of their L\'evy measure has a rational Laplace transform. That allows to compute the distribution of $(X_t,\inf_{0\leq…
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 consider the problem of finding a stopping time that minimises the $L^1$-distance to $\theta$, the time at which a L\'evy process attains its ultimate supremum. This problem was studied in [12] for a Brownian motion with drift and a…
Understanding the space-time features of how a L\'evy process crosses a constant barrier for the first time, and indeed the last time, is a problem which is central to many models in applied probability such as queueing theory, financial…
Several aspects of the laws of first hitting times of points are investigated for one-dimensional symmetric stable L\'evy processes. It\^o's excursion theory plays a key role in this study.
