Introduction Definition A real-valued Markov process ξ = ( ξ ( t ) ∈ R , t ≥ 0) is called a L´ evy process if it has independent and stationary increments and its paths are right-continuous with left limits. Examples. Wiener process ( its increments are independent normally distributed) Poisson process (”the lack of memory property”). Tetyana Kadankova, No¨ el Veraverbeke Two-sided exit problem for general L´ evy processes

Properties a) Independence and stationarity = ⇒ Distribution of increments ξ ( t + s ) − ξ ( s ) is infinitely divisible. b) Therefore, by the L´ evy - Khinchine representation, in assumption that ξ (0) = 0 the transform E [ e − pξ ( t ) ] , Rep = 0 has the form E [ e − pξ ( t ) ] = e t k ( p ) , c) where the function k ( p ) is called the characteristic exponent of the process and is given by the formula (Re p =0) � ∞ k ( p ) = 1 � px � 2 p 2 σ 2 − αp + e − px − 1 + Π( dx ) , (1) 1 + x 2 −∞ Tetyana Kadankova, No¨ el Veraverbeke Two-sided exit problem for general L´ evy processes

Statement of the problem Consider a real valued L´ evy process { ξ ( t ); t ≥ 0 } , ξ (0) = 0 with the characteristic exponent given by (1) and the interval ( − y, x ) , x, y > 0 , x + y = B. Introduce χ = inf { t > 0 : ξ ( t ) / ∈ ( − y, x ) } the instant of the first exit from the interval ( − y, x ) by the process ξ ( t ) .

Statement of the problem Introduce events: A x = { ξ ( χ ) ≥ x } the exit from the interval by the process through the upper boundary; A y = { ξ ( χ ) ≤ − y } the exit from the interval by the process through the lower boundary. We are interested in the distribution of χ and X = ( ξ ( χ ) − x ) I A x + ( − ξ ( χ ) − y ) I A y the value of the overshoot through the boundary at the epoch of the exit from the interval.
