Some excursion calculations for reflected Lévy processes
نویسنده
چکیده
Using methods analogous to those introduced in Doney (2005), we express the resolvent density of a (killed) reflected Lévy process in terms of the resolvent density of the (killed) Lévy process. As an application we find a previously unknown identity for the potential density for killed reflected symmetric stable processes.

On Lévy Processes Conditioned to Stay Positive
We construct the law of Lévy processes conditioned to stay positive under general hypotheses. We obtain a Williams type path decomposition at the minimum of these processes. This result is then applied to prove the weak convergence of the law of Lévy processes conditioned to stay positive as their initial state tends to 0. We describe an absolute continuity relationship between the limit law an...
متن کاملExcursions away from a regular point for one-dimensional symmetric Lévy processes without Gaussian part
The characteristic measure of excursions away from a regular point is studied for a class of symmetric Lévy processes without Gaussian part. It is proved that the harmonic transform of the killed process enjoys Feller property. The result is applied to prove extremeness of the excursion measure and to prove several sample path behaviors of the excursion and the h-path processes.
متن کاملTwo kinds of conditionings for stable Lévy processes
Two kinds of conditionings for one-dimensional stable Lévy processes are discussed via h-transforms of excursion measures: One is to stay positive, and the other is to avoid the origin.

Several aspects of the laws of first hitting times of points are investigated for one-dimensional symmetric stable Lévy processes. Itô’s excursion theory plays a key role in this study.
متن کاملLévy processes and continuous-state branching processes: part II
In this section we discuss a simple feature of all Lévy processes which follows as a direct consequence of stationary independent increments. That is, when the path of a Lévy process over a finite time horizon is time reversed (in an appropriate sense) the new path is equal in law to the process reflected about the origin. This property will prove to be of crucial importance in a number of fluc...
