We suggest three superpositions of COGARCH (sup-CO-GARCH) volatility processes driven by Lévy processes or Lévy bases. We investigate second-order properties, jump behaviour, and prove that they exhibit Pareto-like tails. Corresponding price processes are defined and studied. We find that the...

We prove the Local Asymptotic Mixed Normality property from high frequency observations, of a continuous time process solution of a stochastic differential equation driven by a pure jump Lévy process. The process is observed on the fixed time interval [0,1] and the parameter appears in the...

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a d-dimensional Lévy process to be in the matrix normalized domain of attraction of a d-dimensional normal random vector, as t↓0. This transfers to the Lévy case classical results of Feller, Khinchin, Lévy and Hahn and Klass for random walks....

By using lower bound conditions of the Lévy measure w.r.t. a nice reference measure, the coupling and strong Feller properties are investigated for the Markov semigroup associated with a class of linear SDEs driven by (non-cylindrical) Lévy processes on a Banach space. Unlike in the...

We derive explicit formulas for the Mellin transform and the distribution of the exponential functional for Lévy processes with rational Laplace exponent. This extends recent results by Cai and Kou [3] on the processes with hyper-exponential jumps.

Let Xt be a subordinate Brownian motion, and suppose that the Lévy measure of the underlying subordinator has a completely monotone density. Under very mild conditions, we find integral formulae for the tail distribution P(τxt) of first passage times τx through a barrier at x0, and its...

We consider a neutral dynamical model of biological diversity, where individuals live and reproduce independently. They have i.i.d. lifetime durations (which are not necessarily exponentially distributed) and give birth (singly) at constant rate b. Such a genealogical tree is usually called a...

For certain subordinators (Xt)t≥0 it is shown that the process (−tlogXts)s0 tends to an extremal process (η̂s)s0 in the sense of convergence of the finite dimensional distributions. Additionally it is also shown that (z∧(−tlogXts))s≥0 converges weakly to (z∧η̂s)s≥0 in D[0,∞),...

De Haan and Karandikar (1989) [7] introduced generalized Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes as one-dimensional processes (Vt)t≥0 which are basically characterized by the fact that for each h0 the equidistantly sampled process (Vnh)n∈N0 satisfies the random recurrence equation...

We study the Wiener–Hopf factorization for Lévy processes with bounded positive jumps and arbitrary negative jumps. We prove that the positive Wiener–Hopf factor can be expressed as an infinite product involving solutions to the equation ψ(z)=q, where ψ is the Laplace exponent. Under...
