We consider a process Z on the real line composed from a Levy process and its exponentially tilted version killed with arbitrary rates and give an expression for the joint law of the supremum (Z) over bar, its time T, and the process Z(T + center dot) - (Z) over bar. This expression is in terms of the laws of the original and the tilted Levy processes conditioned to stay negative and positive respectively. The result is used to derive a new representation of stationary particle systems driven by Levy processes. In particular, this implies that a max-stable process arising from Levy processes admits a mixed moving maxima representation with spectral functions given by the conditioned Levy processes.

Processus de Lévy

En théorie des probabilités, un processus de Lévy, nommé d'après le mathématicien français Paul Lévy, est un processus stochastique en temps continu, continu à droite limité à gauche (càdlàg), partant

Processus de Wiener

En mathématiques, le processus de Wiener est un processus stochastique à temps continu nommé ainsi en l'honneur de Norbert Wiener. Il permet de modéliser le mouvement brownien. C'est l'un des process

Processus

Le mot processus vient du latin pro (au sens de « vers l'avant ») et de cessus, cedere (« aller, marcher ») ce qui signifie donc aller vers l'avant, avancer. Ce mot est également à l'origine du mot

Max-stable processes and stationary systems of Levy particles

Sebastian Engelke

We study stationary max-stable processes {n(t): t is an element of R} admitting a representation of the form n(t) = max(i is an element of N) (U-i +Y-i(t)), where Sigma(infinity)(i=1) delta U-i is a Poisson point process on R with intensity e(-u)du, and Y1,Y2 are i.i.d. copies of a process {Y (t) : t is an element of R} obtained by running a Levy process for positive t and a dual Levy process for negative t. We give a general construction of such Levy-Brown-Resnick processes, where the restrictions of Y to the positive and negative half-axes are Levy processes with random birth and killing times. We show that these max-stable processes appear as limits of suitably normalized pointwise maxima of the form Mn(t) = max(i=1),...,n xi i (s(n) + t), where xi 1, xi 2... are i.i.d. Levy processes and sn is a sequence such that s(n) similar to clog n with c > 0. Also, we consider maxima of the form max(i=1),...,n Z(i) (t/log n), where Zi, Z2,... are i.i.d. Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by an alpha-stable noise with skewness parameter beta = -1. After a linear normalization, we again obtain limiting max-stable processes of the above form. This gives a generalization of the results of Brown and Resnick (1977) to the totally skewed a-stable case. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Generalized Pickands constants and stationary max-stable processes

Sebastian Engelke

Pickands constants play a crucial role in the asymptotic theory of Gaussian processes. They are commonly defined as the limits of a sequence of expectations involving fractional Brownian motions and, as such, their exact value is often unknown. Recently, Dieker and Yakir (Bernoulli, 20(3), 1600-1619, 2014) derived a novel representation of Pickands constant as a simple expected value that does not involve a limit operation. In this paper we show that the notion of Pickands constants and their corresponding Dieker-Yakir representations can be extended to a large class of stochastic processes, including general Gaussian and Levy processes. We furthermore develop a link to extreme value theory and show that Pickands-type constants coincide with certain constants arising in the study of max-stable processes with mixed moving maxima representations.

Gaussian and sparse processes are limits of generalized Poisson processes

Julien René Fageot, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann, Michaël Unser

The theory of sparse stochastic processes offers a broad class of statistical models to study signals, far beyond the more classical class of Gaussian processes. In this framework, signals are represented as realizations of random processes that are solution of linear stochastic differential equations driven by Levy white noises. Among these processes, generalized Poisson processes based on compound-Poisson noises admit an interpretation as random L-splines with random knots and weights. We demonstrate that every generalized Levy process-from Gaussian to sparse-can be understood as the limit in law of a sequence of generalized Poisson processes. This enables a new conceptual understanding of sparse processes and suggests simple algorithms for the numerical generation of such objects. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
