Functional limit theorems for random walks perturbed by positive alpha-stable jumps
Abstract
Let , be i.i.d. random variables of zero mean and finite variance and , positive i.i.d. random variables whose distribution belongs to the domain of attraction of an -stable distribution, . The two collections are assumed independent. We consider a Markov chain with jumps of two types. If the present position of the Markov chain is positive, then the jump occurs; if the present position of the Markov chain is nonpositive, then its next position is . We prove a functional limit theorem for this Markov chain under Donsker's scaling. The weak limit is a nonnegative process satisfying a stochastic equation , where is a Brownian motion, is an -stable subordinator which is independent of , and is a local time of at . Also, we explain that is a Feller Brownian motion with a `jump-type' exit from .
