Characteristic function and moments
Let $X\in L^1(\Omega)$ and $\phi_X$ the corresponding characteristic function.
We know that: $\phi_X$ is $n$ times differentiable (at $u=0$) iff $\mathbb{E}[X^n]<\infty$. (This depends a bit on ...

Hitting order of sets by a Lévy process
Let $X$ be a transient Lévy process on $\mathbb R$, and $B\subseteq \mathbb R$ a Borel set with first hitting time $T_B = \inf \left\{t>0 : X_t\in B\right\}$. For Borel $A\subseteq B$, can anything ...

Probability of exiting on the boundary for a monotone Lévy-type process
Let the continuous function $\ell:\mathbb R \times(0,\infty)\to[0,\infty)$ be a Lévy-type kernel, such that
$$
\sup_{x}\int_0^\infty \min\{1,y\}\ell( x, y)\,dy<\infty,
$$
and suppose that $\...

Polynomial growth of random walks: critical values?
Consider a sequence of i.i.d. random variables $(X_n)_{n\geq 0}$, and set $S_N = \sum_{n=1}^N X_n$.
For which $p> 0$ do we have that
\begin{equation}
\lim \inf \frac{|S_N|}{N^{1/p}} > 0 \text{ ...

Simulation of Lévy walk
I have problems to find out how to do discrete simulation of the Lévy walk. I can sum my doubts in a few questions:
According to Wikipedia it seems to me that Lévy flight can be produced just by ...

escape points of Levy processes
Suppose $D$ is a domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $x\in D$. $X_t$ is a Levy process with Lévy triplet ${\displaystyle (b,0,\mu )}$ . Can one give a brief proof for:

A dependent and discrete version of the Komlós-Major-Tusnády theorem
The well-known Komlós-Major-Tusnády approximation gives sharp speed of convergence of a uniform empirical process to a Brownian bridge. Here I am considering how to approach a similar problem with ...

Orlicz spaces and $\phi$-functions
A $\phi$-function $f$ is usually defined as a continuous function $f=\mathbb R_+ \to \mathbb R_+$ such that:
(1) $f$ is nondecreasing.
(2) $f(0)=0$ and $f(x)>0$ for all $x>0$.
(3) $\lim_{x\to ...

Version of Donsker-Invariance-Principle
Assume we have a Levy process $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ with a finite second moment for all $t>0$. For simplicity, say $\operatorname{Var}\left[X_1\right]=1$. Let $\tilde{X}_t:=X_t-t\cdot E\left[X_1\right]$...
