Suppose $X_{t}$ is a one-dimensional and real-valued L\'evy process started from $X_0=0$, which ({\bf 1}) its nonnegative jumps measure $\nu$ satisfying $\int_{\Bbb R}\min\{1,x^2\}\nu(dx)<\infty$ and ({\bf 2}) its stopping time $\tau(q)$ is…

We review some of the theory relevant to passage times of one-dimensional L\'evy processes out of bounded regions, highlighting results that are useful in physical phenomena modelled by heavy-tailed L\'evy flights. The process is…

For refracted spectrally negative L\'evy processes, we identify expressions of several quantities related to Laplace transforms on their weighted occupation times until first exit times. Such quantities are expressed in terms of unique…

We study a first passage time of a L\'evy process over a positive constant level. In the spectrally negative case we give conditions for absolutely continuity of the distributions of the first passage times. The tail asymptotics of their…

For $\alpha >0$, the $\alpha$-Lipschitz minorant of a function $f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is the greatest function $m : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $m \leq f$ and $\vert m(s) - m(t) \vert \leq \alpha \vert s-t…

In [16], under mild conditions, a Wiener-Hopf type factorization is derived for the exponential functional of proper L\'evy processes. In this paper, we extend this factorization by relaxing a finite moment assumption as well as by…

For a L\'evy process $\xi=(\xi_t)_{t\geq0}$ drifting to $-\infty$, we define the so-called exponential functional as follows \[{\rm{I}}_{\xi}=\int_0^{\infty}e^{\xi_t} dt.\] Under mild conditions on $\xi$, we show that the following…

We discuss the Gamma Levy process, including path properties, the inverse process, integrability, and its spin-offs obtained by compounding, exponentiation, and other operations; further extendable to arbitrary sigma-finite continuous Borel…

We propose a path transformation which applied to a cyclically exchangeable increment process conditions its minimum to belong to a given interval. This path transformation is then applied to processes with start and end at zero. It is seen…

For one-dimensional symmetric L\'{e}vy processes, which hit every point with positive probability, we give sharp bounds for the tail function of the first hitting time of B which is either a single point or an interval. The estimates are…

We consider two-dimensional L\'evy processes reflected to stay in the positive quadrant. Our focus is on the non-standard regime when the mean of the free process is negative but the reflection vectors point away from the origin, so that…

We derive subexponential tail asymptotics for the distribution of the maximum of a compound renewal process with linear component and of a L\'evy process, both with negative drift, over random time horizon $\tau$ that does not depend on the…

For a spectrally negative L\'evy process, scale functions appear in the solution of two-sided exit problems, and in particular in relation with the Laplace transform of the first time it exits a closed interval. In this paper, we consider…

The L\'evy walk process for the lower interval of the time of flight distribution ($\alpha<1$) and with finite resting time between consecutive flights is discussed. The motion is restricted to a region bounded by two absorbing barriers and…

In this work, we consider moments of exponential functionals of L\'{e}vy processes on a deterministic horizon. We derive two convolutional identities regarding these moments. The first one relates the complex moments of the exponential…

We show that the law of the overall supremum $\bar{X}_t=\sup_{s\le t}X_s$ of a L\'evy process $X$ before the deterministic time $t$ is equivalent to the average occupation measure $\mu_t(dx)=\int_0^t\p(X_s\in dx)\,ds$, whenever 0 is regular…

The class of Levy processes for which overshoots are almost surely constant quantities is precisely characterized.

We consider some special classes of L\'evy processes with no gaussian component whose L\'evy measure is of the type $\pi(dx)=e^{\gamma x}\nu(e^x-1) dx$, where $\nu$ is the density of the stable L\'evy measure and $\gamma$ is a positive…

Levy flights are random walks in which the probability distribution of the step sizes is fat-tailed. Levy spatial diffusion has been observed for a collection of ultra-cold Rb atoms and single Mg+ ions in an optical lattice. Using the…

In this paper we study the mean of the first exit time from a bounded interval of various L\'evy processes. We establish sharp two-sided estimates of the mean for L\'evy processes under certain condition on their characteristic exponents.…
