Discrete Lundberg-type bounds with actuarial applications

Kristina Sendova (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Different kinds of renewal equations repeatedly arise in connection with renewal risk models and variations. It is often appropriate to utilize bounds instead of the general solution to the renewal equation due to the inherent complexity. For this reason, as a first approach to construction of bounds we employ a general Lundberg-type methodology. Second, we focus specifically on exponential bounds which have the advantageous feature of being closely connected to the asymptotic behavior (for large...

Discrete Models of Time-Fractional Diffusion in a Potential Well

Gorenflo, R., Abdel-Rehim, E. (2005)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 45K05, 60J60, 60G50, 65N06, 80-99.By generalization of Ehrenfest’s urn model, we obtain discrete approximations to spatially one-dimensional time-fractional diffusion processes with drift towards the origin. These discrete approximations can be interpreted (a) as difference schemes for the relevant time-fractional partial differential equation, (b) as random walk models. The relevant convergence questions as well as the behaviour for time tending to infinity...

Discrete random processes with memory: Models and applications

Tomáš Kouřim, Petr Volf (2020)

Applications of Mathematics

The contribution focuses on Bernoulli-like random walks, where the past events significantly affect the walk's future development. The main concern of the paper is therefore the formulation of models describing the dependence of transition probabilities on the process history. Such an impact can be incorporated explicitly and transition probabilities modulated using a few parameters reflecting the current state of the walk as well as the information about the past path. The behavior of proposed...

Disjointness results for some classes of stable processes

Michael Hernández, Christian Houdré (1993)

Studia Mathematica

We discuss the disjointness of two classes of stable stochastic processes: moving averages and Fourier transforms. Results on the incompatibility of these two representations date back to Urbanik. Here we extend various disjointness results to encompass larger classes of processes.

Dislocation measure of the fragmentation of a general Lévy tree

Guillaume Voisin (2011)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Given a general critical or sub-critical branching mechanism and its associated Lévy continuum random tree, we consider a pruning procedure on this tree using a Poisson snake. It defines a fragmentation process on the tree. We compute the family of dislocation measures associated with this fragmentation. This work generalizes the work made for a Brownian tree [R. Abraham and L. Serlet, Elect. J. Probab. 7 (2002) 1–15] and for a tree without Brownian part [R. Abraham and J.-F. Delmas, Probab. Th....

Distortion mismatch in the quantization of probability measures

Siegfried Graf, Harald Luschgy, Gilles Pagès (2008)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We elucidate the asymptotics of the Ls-quantization error induced by a sequence of Lr-optimal n-quantizers of a probability distribution P on d when s > r. In particular we show that under natural assumptions, the optimal rate is preserved as long as s < r+d (and for every s in the case of a compactly supported distribution). We derive some applications of these results to the error bounds for quantization based cubature formulae in numerical integration on d and on the Wiener space.
