We introduce an elementary method for proving the absolute continuity of the time marginals of one-dimensional processes. It is based on a comparison between the Fourier transform of such time marginals with those of the one-step Euler…

In this paper we study general nonlinear stochastic differential equations, where the usual Brownian motion is replaced by a L\'evy process. We also suppose that the coefficient multiplying the increments of this process is merely Lipschitz…

We establish the global asymptotic equivalence between a pure jumps L\'evy process $\{X_t\}$ on the time interval $[0,T]$ with unknown L\'evy measure $\nu$ belonging to a non-parametric class and the observation of $2m^2$ Poisson…

Let X_t, 0<=t<=T be a one-dimensional stochastic process with independent and stationary increments. This paper considers the problem of stopping the process X_t "as close as possible" to its eventual supremum M_T:=sup{X_t: 0<=t<=T}, when…

We establish the exponential convergence with respect to the $L^1$-Wasserstein distance and the total variation for the semigroup corresponding to the stochastic differential equation (SDE) $$d X_t=d Z_t+b(X_t)\,d t,$$ where $(Z_t)_{t\ge0}$…

We consider a modulated process S which, conditional on a background process X, has independent increments. Assuming that S drifts to -infinity and that its increments (jumps) are heavy-tailed (in a sense made precise in the paper), we…

In this paper, we study the following time-dependent stochastic differential equation (SDE) in ${\bf R}^d$: $$ d X_{t}= \sigma_t(X_{t-}) d Z_t + b_t(X_{t})d t, \quad X_{0}=x\in {\bf R}^d, $$ where $Z$ is a $d$-dimensioanl nondegenerate…

Let us consider a real L\'evy process X whose transition probabilities are absolutely continuous and have bounded densities. Then the law of the past supremum of X before any deterministic time t is absolutely continuous on (0,\infty). We…

In this paper we solve a selection problem for multidimensional SDE $d X^\varepsilon(t)=a(X^\varepsilon(t)) d t+\varepsilon \sigma(X^\varepsilon(t))\, d W(t)$, where the drift and diffusion are locally Lipschitz continuous outside of a…

In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of the strong solution of following d dimensional stochastic differential equation (SDE) driven by Brownian motion: dX(t)=b(t,X(t))dt+a(t,X(t))dB(t), X(0)= x, where B is a d-dimensional…

Given a stable L\'{e}vy process $X=(X_t)_{0\le t\le T}$ of index $\alpha\in(1,2)$ with no negative jumps, and letting $S_t=\sup_{0\le s\le t}X_s$ denote its running supremum for $t\in [0,T]$, we consider the optimal prediction problem…

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…

We study a classical Bayesian statistics problem of sequentially testing the sign of the drift of an arithmetic Brownian motion with the $0$-$1$ loss function and a constant cost of observation per unit of time for general prior…

The theory of one-dimensional stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motion is classical and has been largely understood for several decades. For stochastic differential equations with jumps the picture is still incomplete,…
