Nonlinear Lévy Processes and their Characteristics

چکیده
We develop a general construction for nonlinear Lévy processes with given characteristics. More precisely, given a set Θ of Lévy triplets, we construct a sublinear expectation on Skorohod space under which the canonical process has stationary independent increments and a nonlinear generator corresponding to the supremum of all generators of classical Lévy processes with triplets in Θ. The nonlinear Lévy process yields a tractable model for Knightian uncertainty about the distribution of jumps for which expectations of Markovian functionals can be calculated by means of a partial integro-differential equation.

Nonlinear Filtering of Itô-lévy Stochastic Differential Equations with Continuous Observations
We study the n-dimensional nonlinear filtering problem for jumpdiffusion processes. The optimal filter is derived for the case when the observations are continuous. A proof of uniqueness is presented under fairly general circumstances.
متن کاملNonlinear Lévy and nonlinear Feller processes: an analytic introduction
The program of studying general nonlinear Markov processes was put forward in [6]. This program was developed by the author in monograph [10], where, in particular, nonlinear Lévy processes were introduced. The present paper is an invitation to the rapidly developing topic of this monograph. We provide a quick (and at the same time more abstract) introduction to the basic analytical aspects of ...

متن کاملThe problem of analytical calculation of barrier crossing characteristics for Lévy flights
By using the backward fractional Fokker-Planck equation we investigate the barrier crossing event in the presence of Lévy noise. After shortly review recent results obtained with different approaches on the time characteristics of the barrier crossing, we derive a general differential equation useful to calculate the nonlinear relaxation time. We obtain analytically the nonlinear relaxation tim...
متن کاملVerhulst model with Lévy white noise excitation
The nonlinear stochastic systems with noise excitation have attracted extensive attention and the concept of noise-induced transitions has got a wide variety of applications in physics, chemistry, and biology (1). Noise-induced transitions are conventionally defined in terms of changes in the number of extrema in the probability distribution of a system variable and may depend both quantitative...
