In this paper we consider the Skorokhod embedding problem for general starting and target measures. In particular, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a stopping time to be minimal in the sense of Monroe(1972). The resulting…

Let $X=\{X(t)\}_{t\geq0}$ be an operator semistable L\'evy process on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with exponent $E$, where $E$ is an invertible linear operator on $\mathbb{R}^d$. In this paper we determine exact Hausdorff measure functions for the range…

This paper solves exit problems for spectrally negative Markov additive processes and their reflections. A so-called scale matrix, which is a generalization of the scale function of a spectrally negative \levy process, plays a central role…

For a spectrally negative L\'evy process $X$, consider $g_t$, the last time $X$ is below the level zero before time $t\geq 0$. We use a perturbation method for L\'evy processes to derive an It\^o formula for the three-dimensional process…

We provide a criterion for establishing lower bounds on the rate of convergence in $f$-variation of a continuous-time ergodic Markov process to its invariant measure. The criterion consists of novel super- and submartingale conditions for…

For a strictly stationary sequence of random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ we study convergence of partial sum processes to L\'evy stable process in the Skorohod space with $J_1$-topology. We identify necessary and sufficient conditions for…

The conformal Skorokhod embedding problem (CSEP) is a planar variant of the classical problem where the solution is now a simply connected domain $D\subset\mathbb{C}$ whose exit time embeds a given probability distribution $\mu$ by…

In this paper we study the weak convergence of self-normalized partial sum processes in the Skorokhod M1 topology for sequences of random variables which exhibit clustering of large values of the same sign. We show that for stationary…

In this paper we prove a criterion of convergence in distribution in Skorokhod space. We apply this criterion to some special Levy processes and obtain almost-sure versions of limit theorems for these processes.

Motivated by robotic surveillance applications, this paper studies the novel problem of maximizing the return time entropy of a Markov chain, subject to a graph topology with travel times and stationary distribution. The return time entropy…

For a stochastic process $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ we establish conditions under which the inverse first-passage time problem has a solution for any random variable $\xi >0$. For Markov processes we give additional conditions under which the…

The aim of this paper is to prove stability of traveling waves for integro-differential equations connected with branching Markov processes. In other words, the limiting law of the left-most particle of a (time-continuous) branching Markov…

We investigate the branching structure coded by the excursion above zero of a spectrally positive Levy process. The main idea is to identify the level of the Levy excursion as the time and count the number of jumps upcrossing the level. By…

This paper concerns an optimal stopping problem driven by the running maximum of a spectrally negative Levy process X. More precisely, we are interested in capped versions of the American lookback optimal stopping problem, which has its…

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…

In this Note we study optimal stopping problems for strong Markov processes and affine functions. We give a justification of the Snell envelope form using standard results of optimal stopping. We also justify the convexity of the value…

The Skorokhod embedding problem (SEP) is to represent a given probability measure as a Brownian motion $B$ at a particular stopping time. In recent years particular attention has gone to solutions which exhibit additional optimality…

We address the problem of estimating the mixing time $t_{\mathsf{mix}}$ of an arbitrary ergodic finite-state Markov chain from a single trajectory of length $m$. The reversible case was addressed by Hsu et al. [2019], who left the general…

In this paper we solve the exit problems for (reflected) spectrally negative L\'evy processes, which are exponentially killed with a killing intensity dependent on the present state of the process and analyze respective resolvents. All…

A leveraged exchange traded fund (LETF) is an exchange traded fund that uses financial derivatives to amplify the price changes of a basket of goods. In this paper, we consider the robust hedging of European options on a LETF, finding…
