Hyperfinite Lévy Processes
A hyperfinite Lévy process is an infinitesimal random walk (in the sense of nonstandard analysis) which with probability one is finite for all finite times. We develop the basic theory for hyperfinite Lévy processes and find a characterization in terms of transition probabilities. The standard part of a hyperfinite Lévy process is a (standard) Lévy process, and we show that given a generating t...
متن کاملAn introduction to Le19 evy processeswith applications in finance
Abstract: These lectures notes aim at introducing Lévy processes in an informal and intuitive way, accessible to non-specialists in the field. In the first part, we focus on the theory of Lévy processes. We analyze a ‘toy’ example of a Lévy process, viz. a Lévy jump-diffusion, which yet offers significant insight into the distributional and path structure of a Lévy process. Then, we present sev...
متن کاملMarkov Property of Monotone Lévy Processes
Monotone Lévy processes with additive increments are defined and studied. It is shown that these processes have natural Markov structure and their Markov transition semigroups are characterized using the monotone Lévy-Khintchine formula. 17 Monotone Lévy processes turn out to be related to classical Lévy processes via Attal's " remarkable transformation. " A monotone analogue of the family of e...
متن کاملSome Explicit Identities Associated with Positive Self-similar Markov Processes
We consider some special classes of Lévy processes with no gaussian component whose Lévy measure is of the type π(dx) = e γx ν(e x − 1) dx, where ν is the density of the stable Lévy measure and γ is a positive parameter which depends on its characteristics. These processes were introduced in [10] as the underlying Lévy processes in the Lamperti representation of conditioned stable Lévy processe...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Lévy Processes with Applications in Finance
These notes aim at introducing Lévy processes in an informal and intuitive way. Several important results about Lévy processes, such as the Lévy-Khintchine formula, the Lévy-Itô decomposition and Girsanov’s transformations, are discussed. Applications of Lévy processes in financial modeling are presented and some popular models in finance are revisited from the point of view of Lévy processes.
