On the Hitting Probability of Max-Stable Processes

Probability 2012-06-27 v1

Abstract

The probability that a max-stable process {\eta} in C[0, 1] with identical marginal distribution function F hits x \in R with 0 < F (x) < 1 is the hitting probability of x. We show that the hitting probability is always positive, unless the components of {\eta} are completely dependent. Moreover, we consider the event that the paths of standard MSP hit some x \in R twice and we give a sufficient condition for a positive probability of this event.
