Abstract

We introduce and study a fractional version of the Skellam process of order kk by time-changing it with an independent inverse stable subordinator. We call it the fractional Skellam process of order kk (FSPoK). An integral representation for its one-dimensional distributions and their governing system of fractional differential equations are obtained. We derive the probability generating function, mean, variance and covariance of the FSPoK which are utilized to establish its long-range dependence property. Later, we considered two time-changed versions of the FSPoK. These are obtained by time-changing the FSPoK by an independent L\'evy subordinator and its inverse. Some distributional properties and particular cases are discussed for these time-changed processes.
