Additive Functionals of Several Lévy Processes and Intersection Local Times
نویسندگان
چکیده
Different extensions of an isomorphism theorem of Dynkin are developed and are used to study two distinct but related families of functionals of Lévy processes; n-fold “near-intersections” of a single Lévy process and continuous additive functionals of several independent Lévy processes. Intersection local times for n independent Lévy processes are also studied. They are related to both of the above families. In all three cases sufficient conditions are obtained for the almost sure continuity of these functionals in terms of the almost sure continuity of associated Gaussian chaos processes. Concrete sufficient conditions are given for the almost sure continuity of these functionals of Lévy processes.

Additive functionals of several Lévy processes and self-intersection local times
Different extentons of an isomorphism theorem of Dynkin are developed and are used to study two distinct but related families of functionals of Lévy processes; n-fold “near-intersections” of a single Lévy process, which is also referred to as a self-intersection local time, and continuous additive functionals of several independent Lévy processes.

متن کاملLocal Times of Additive Lévy Processes
Let X = {X(t); t ∈ R+} be an additive Lévy process in R with X(t) = X1(t1) + · · ·+ XN (tN ), ∀t ∈ R+ , where X1, · · · , XN are independent, classical Lévy processes on R with Lévy exponents Ψ1, . . . , ΨN respectively. Under mild regularity conditions on the Ψi’s, we derive moment estimates that imply joint continuity of the local times in question. These results are then refined to precise e...
متن کاملModerate Deviations and Laws of the Iterated Logarithm for the Local times of Additive Lévy Processes and Additive Random Walks
We study the upper tail behaviors of the local times of the additive Lévy processes and additive random walks. The limit forms we establish are the moderate deviations and the laws of the iterated logarithm for the L2-norms of the local times and for the local times at a fixed site.

متن کاملApplying the Wiener-Hopf Monte Carlo Simulation Technique for Lévy processes to Path Functionals such as First Passage Times, Undershoots and Overshoots
In this note we apply the recently established Wiener-Hopf Monte Carlo (WHMC) simulation technique for Lévy processes from Kuznetsov et al. [17] to path functionals, in particular first passage times, overshoots, undershoots and the last maximum before the passage time. Such functionals have many applications, for instance in finance (the pricing of exotic options in a Lévy model) and insurance...
متن کاملSample Path and Fractal Properties of Lévy Processes
The sample paths of Lévy processes generate various random fractals and many of their properties have been studied since 1960’s [see the survey papers of Fristedt (1974), Taylor (1986) and Xiao (2004)]. The lectures will cover the following topics: Hausdorff dimension and exact Hausdorff measure functions for random fractals determined by Lévy processes; Hausdorff dimension computation using po...
