Distribution of the first ladder height of a stationary risk process perturbed by α-stable Lévy motion
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a risk model described by an ergodic stationary marked point process. The model is perturbed by a Lévy process with no downward jumps. The (modified) ladder height is defined as the first epoch where an event of the marked point process leads to a new maximum. Properties of the process until the first ladder height are studied and results of Dufresne and Gerber [Insurance: Math. Econ. 10 (1991) 51], Furrer [Scand. Actuarial J. (1998) 59], Asmussen and Schmidt [Stochastic Process. Appl. 58 (1995) 105] and Asmussen et al. [ASTIN Bull. 25 (1995) 49] are generalized. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Langevin Approach to Lévy Flights in Fixed Potentials: Exact Results for Stationary Probability Distributions ∗
The functional method to derive the fractional Fokker-Planck equation for probability distribution from the Langevin equation with Lévy stable noise is proposed. For the Cauchy stable noise we obtain the exact stationary probability density function of Lévy flights in different smooth potential profiles. We find confinement of the particle in the superdiffusion motion with a bimodal stationary ...
متن کاملApplications of factorization embeddings for Lévy processes
We give three applications of the Pecherskii-Rogozin-Spitzer identity for Lévy processes: • Phase-type upward jumps: we find the joint distribution of the supremum and the epoch at which it is ‘attained’ if a Lévy process has phase-type upward jumps. We also find the characteristics of the ladder process. • Perturbed risk models: we establish general properties, and obtain explicit fluctuation ...
متن کاملFirst exit times of solutions of non-linear stochastic differential equations driven by symmetric Lévy processes with α-stable components
We study the exit problem of solutions of the stochastic differential equation dX t = −U ′(Xε t ) dt+ε dLt from bounded or unbounded intervals which contain the unique asymptotically stable critical point of the deterministic dynamical system Ẏt = −U (Yt). The process L is composed of a standard Brownian motion and a symmetric α-stable Lévy process. Using probabilistic estimates we show that in...
متن کاملPenalising symmetric stable Lévy paths
Limit theorems for the normalized laws with respect to two kinds of weight functionals are studied for any symmetric stable Lévy process of index 1 < α ≤ 2. The first kind is a function of the local time at the origin, and the second kind is the exponential of an occupation time integral. Special emphasis is put on the role played by a stable Lévy counterpart of the universal σ-finite measure, ...
متن کاملSemistable Lévy Motion
Semistable Lévy motions have stationary independent increments with semistable distributions. They can be realized as scaling limits of simple random walks, extending the familiar Lévy motions. Generators of stable semigroups are fractional derivatives, and the semistable generators provide a new approximation to fractional derivatives. Semistable Lévy motions and semistable generators may be u...
