The existence of moments of first downward passage times of a spectrally negative L\'evy process is governed by the general dynamics of the L\'evy process, i.e. whether the L\'evy process is drifting to $+\infty$, $-\infty$ or oscillates.…

Let $X=\{X(t),t\in R_+\}$ be a real-valued symmetric L\'{e}vy process with continuous local times $\{L^x_t,(t,x)\in R_+\times R\}$ and characteristic function $Ee^{i\lambda X(t)}=e^{-t\psi(\lambda)}$. Let…

By using absolutely continuous lower bounds of the L\'evy measure, explicit gradient estimates are derived for the semigroup of the corresponding L\'evy process with a linear drift. A derivative formula is presented for the conditional…

In this paper, we study nonparametric estimation of the L\'{e}vy density for L\'{e}vy processes, with and without Brownian component. For this, we consider $n$ discrete time observations with step $\Delta$. The asymptotic framework is: $n$…

Given a spectrally negative L\'evy process $X$ drifting to infinity, (inspired on the early ideas of Shiryaev (2002)) we are interested in finding a stopping time that minimises the $L^p$ distance ($p>1$) with $g$, the last time $X$ is…

In this article, we construct an It\^o integral with respect to a two-sided finite-variance L\'evy process $\{L(x)\}_{x\in \mathbb{R}}$, without a Gaussian component. Using Rosenthal inequality for discrete-time martingales, we give an…

The pricing of options in exponential Levy models amounts to the computation of expectations of functionals of Levy processes. In many situations, Monte-Carlo methods are used. However, the simulation of a Levy process with infinite Levy…

Let $\{D(s), s \geq 0 \}$ be a L\'evy subordinator, that is, a non-decreasing process with stationary and independent increments and suppose that $D(0) = 0$. We study the first-hitting time of the process $D$, namely, the process $E(t) =…

We consider the problem of determining the L\'evy exponent in a L\'evy model for asset prices given the price data of derivatives. The model, formulated under the real-world measure $\mathbb P$, consists of a pricing kernel…

In this paper we study the exponential functionals of the processes $X$ with independent increments , namely $$I_t= \int _0^t\exp(-X_s)ds, _,\,\, t\geq 0,$$ and also $$I_{\infty}= \int _0^{\infty}\exp(-X_s)ds.$$ When $X$ is a…

Estimation methods for the L\'{e}vy density of a L\'{e}vy process are developed under mild qualitative assumptions. A classical model selection approach made up of two steps is studied. The first step consists in the selection of a good…

Let $W_t(\theta)$ be the Biggins martingale of a supercritical branching L\'evy process with non-local branching mechanism, and denote by $W_\infty(\theta)$ its limit. In this paper, we first study moment properties of $W_t(\theta)$ and…

This paper aims at semi-parametrically estimating the input process to a L\'evy-driven queue by sampling the workload process at Poisson times. We construct a method-of-moments based estimator for the L\'evy process' characteristic…

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…

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…

In this paper, we are concerned with the estimates for the moments of stochastic convolution integrals. We first deal with the stochastic singular integral operators and we aim to derive the Morrey-Campanato estimates for the $p$-moments…

We establish empirical quantile process CLTs based on $n$ independent copies of a stochastic process $\{X_t: t \in E\}$ that are uniform in $t \in E$ and quantile levels $\alpha \in I$, where $I$ is a closed sub-interval of $(0,1)$.…

Using generalized Blumenthal--Getoor indices, we obtain criteria for the finiteness of the $p$-variation of L\'evy-type processes. This class of stochastic processes includes solutions of Skorokhod-type stochastic differential equations…

We consider the problem of finding a stopping time that minimises the $L^1$-distance to $\theta$, the time at which a L\'evy process attains its ultimate supremum. This problem was studied in [12] for a Brownian motion with drift and a…

Consider a one dimensional critical branching L\'{e}vy process $((Z_t)_{t\geq 0}, \mathbb {P}_x)$. Assume that the offspring distribution either has finite second moment or belongs to the domain of attraction to some $\alpha$-stable…
