Convergence in law of solutions of SDE having jumps is discussed assuming suitable convergence of the coefficients under a situation where the point process approaches a Poisson point process. As an application the asymptotic behavior of certain stochastic processes such as storage processes and...

This paper proves a functional limit theorem for Stigler's result on the heavily trimmed sums of i.i.d. random variables. The limiting process will be expressed as a functional of a Kiefer process and we shall also see that it is a Brownian motion if and only if asymptotic normality holds.

The first problem attacked in this paper is answering the question whether all 1/[alpha]-self-similar [alpha]-stable processes with stationary increments are [alpha]-stable motions. The answer is yes for [alpha] = 2, no for 1[less-than-or-equals, slant][alpha]2 and unknown for 0[alpha]1. We...

Itô's theory of excursion point processes is reviewed and the following topics are discussed: Application of the theory to one-dimensional diffusion processes on half-intervals satisfying Feller's boundary conditions, and its multi-dimensional extension, i.e., the application of the theory to...
