A discretization scheme for nonnegative diffusion processes is proposed and the convergence of the corresponding sequence of approximate processes is proved using the martingale problem framework. Motivations for this scheme come typically from finance, especially for path-dependent option...

This paper revisits the spectrally negative Lévy risk process embedded with the general tax structure introduced in Kyprianou and Zhou (2009). A joint Laplace transform is found concerning the first down-crossing time below level 0. The potential density is also obtained for the taxed Lévy...

This paper considers magnitude, asymptotics and duration of drawdowns for some Levy processes. First, we revisit some existing results on the magnitude of drawdowns for spectrally negative Levy processes using an approximation approach. For any spectrally negative Levy process whose scale...
