On Certain Bounds for First-crossing-time Probabilities of a Jump-diffusion Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the first-crossing-time problem through a constant boundary for a Wiener process perturbed by random jumps driven by a counting process. On the base of a sample-path analysis of the jump-diffusion process we obtain explicit lower bounds for the first-crossing-time density and for the first-crossing-time distribution function. In the case of the distribution function, the bound is improved by use of processes comparison based on the usual stochastic order. The special case of constant jumps driven by a Poisson process is thoroughly discussed. AMS Classification: 60G40, 60J65, 60E15

First Passage Densities and Boundary Crossing Probabilities for Diffusion Processes
We consider the boundary crossing problem for time-homogeneous diffusions and general curvilinear boundaries. Bounds are derived for the approximation error of the one-sided (upper) boundary crossing probability when replacing the original boundary by a different one. In doing so we establish the existence of the firstpassage time density and provide an upper bound for this function. In the cas...
متن کاملPricing of Commodity Futures Contract by Using of Spot Price Jump-Diffusion Process
Futures contract is one of the most important derivatives that is used in financial markets in all over the world to buy or sell an asset or commodity in the future. Pricing of this tool depends on expected price of asset or commodity at the maturity date. According to this, theoretical futures pricing models try to find this expected price in order to use in the futures contract. So in this ar...
متن کاملLinear and Nonlinear Boundary Crossing Probabilities for Brownian Motion and Related Processes
Wepropose a newmethod to obtain the boundary crossing probabilities or the first passage time distribution for linear and nonlinear boundaries for Brownian motion. The method also covers certain classes of stochastic processes associated with Brownian motion. The basic idea of the method is based on being able to construct a finite Markov chain, and the boundary crossing probability of Brownian...

متن کاملOn Boundary Crossing Probabilities for Diffusion Processes
In this paper we establish a relationship between the asymptotic form of conditional boundary crossing probabilities and first passage time densities for diffusion processes. We show that, under the assumption that the conditional probability that our diffusion (Xs, s ≥ 0) doesn’t cross an upper boundary g(·) prior to time t given that Xt = z behaves as (a+ o(1))(g(t)− z) as z ↑ g(t), there exi...
