Abstract The Fairlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) family has been investigated in detail for various continuous marginals such as Cauchy, normal, exponential, gamma, Weibull, lognormal and others. It has been a popular model for the bivariate distribution with mild dependence. However, bivariate FGM’s with continuous marginals on a bounded support discussed in the literature are only those with uni...

Abstract We give some adequate extension, in the framework of a general Lévy process, of our previous construction of processes with one-dimensional martingale marginals, done originally in the set-up of Brownian motion. The Lévy process framework allows us to streamline our previous arguments, as well as to reach a larger class of such processes, even in the Brownian case. We give some illustr...
