چکیده

Let (ξ, η) be a bivariate Lévy process such that the integral ∫∞ 0 e −ξt− dηt converges almost surely. We characterise, in terms of their Lévy measures, those Lévy processes for which (the distribution of) this integral has atoms. We then turn attention to almost surely convergent integrals of the form I := ∫∞ 0 g(ξt) dt, where g is a deterministic function. We give sufficient conditions ensuring that I has no atoms, and under further conditions derive that I has a Lebesgue density. The results are also extended to certain integrals of the form ∫∞ 0 g(ξt) dYt, where Y is an almost surely strictly increasing stochastic process, independent of ξ.

On Lévy Processes Conditioned to Stay Positive

We construct the law of Lévy processes conditioned to stay positive under general hypotheses. We obtain a Williams type path decomposition at the minimum of these processes. This result is then applied to prove the weak convergence of the law of Lévy processes conditioned to stay positive as their initial state tends to 0. We describe an absolute continuity relationship between the limit law an...

Perpetual Integrals for Lévy Processes

Given a Lévy process ξ , we find necessary and sufficient conditions for almost sure finiteness of the perpetual integral ∫ ∞ 0 f (ξs)ds, where f is a positive locally integrable function. If μ = E[ξ1] ∈ (0,∞) and ξ has local times we prove the 0–1 law P ( ∫ ∞ 0 f (ξs) ds < ∞ ) ∈ {0, 1} with the exact characterization P ( ∫ ∞ 0 f (ξs) ds < ∞ ) = 0 ⇐⇒ ∫ ∞ f (x) dx = ∞. The proof uses spatially s...

On the scaling property in fluctuation theory for stable Lévy processes

We find an expression for the joint Laplace transform of the law of (T[x,+∞[, XT[x,+∞[) for a Lévy process X, where T[x,+∞[ is the first hitting time of [x,+∞[ by X. When X is an α-stable Lévy process, with 1 < α < 2, we show how to recover from this formula the law of XT[x,+∞[ ; this result was already obtained by D. Ray, in the symmetric case and by N. Bingham, in the case when X is non spect...

Extended Factorizations of Exponential Functionals of Lévy Processes

In [18], under mild conditions, a Wiener-Hopf type factorization is derived for the exponential functional of proper Lévy processes. In this paper, we extend this factorization by relaxing a finite moment assumption as well as by considering the exponential functional for killed Lévy processes. As a by-product, we derive some interesting fine distributional properties enjoyed by a large class o...

The using of Haar wavelets for the expansion of fractional stochastic integrals

Abstract: In this paper, an efficient method based on Haar wavelets is proposed for solving fractional stochastic integrals with Hurst parameter. Properties of Haar wavelets are described. Also, the error analysis of the proposed method is investigated. Some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the computational efficiency and accuracy of the method.
