Tail Probabilities of Subadditive Functionals of Lévy Processes1 by Michael Braverman2, Thomas Mikosch

چکیده
We study the tail behavior of the distribution of certain subadditive functionals acting on the sample paths of Lévy processes. The functionals we consider have, roughly speaking, the following property: only the points of the process that lie above a certain curve contribute to the value of the functional. Our assumptions will make sure that the process ends up eventually below the curve. Our results apply to ruin probabilities, distributions of sojourn times over curves, last hitting times and other functionals.

متن کاملHenrik Hult , Filip Lindskog and Thomas Mikosch : Functional large deviations for multivariate regularly varying random walks
We extend classical results by A.V. Nagaev (1969) on large deviations for sums of iid regularly varying random variables to partial sum processes of iid regularly varying vectors. The results are stated in terms of a heavy-tailed large deviation principle on the space of càdlàg functions. We illustrate how these results can be applied to functionals of the partial sum process, including ruin pr...
متن کاملTail asymptotics for exponential functionals of Lévy processes
Motivated by recent studies in financial mathematics and other areas, we investigate the exponential functional Z = ∫∞ 0 e−X(t)dt of a Lévy process X(t), t ≥ 0. In particular, we investigate its tail asymptotics. It is shown that, depending on the right tail of X(1), the tail behavior of Z is exponential, Pareto, or extremely heavy-tailed.
متن کاملNew Frontiers in Applied Probability
We prove large deviation results for Minkowski sums Sn of independent and identically distributed random compact sets where we assume that the summands have a regularly varying distribution and finite expectation. The main focus is on random convex compact sets. The results confirm the heavy-tailed large deviation heuristics: ‘large’ values of the sum are essentially due to the ‘largest’ summan...
متن کاملThe cluster index of regularly varying sequences with applications to limit theory for functions of multivariate Markov chains
We introduce the cluster index of a multivariate regularly varying stationary sequence and characterize the index in terms of the spectral tail process. This index plays a major role in limit theory for partial sums of regularly varying sequences. We illustrate the use of the cluster index by characterizing infinite variance stable limit distributions and precise large deviation results for sum...
