Asymptotic behavior of the hitting time, overshoot and undershoot for some Lévy processes

Bernard Roynette, Pierre Vallois, Agnès Volpi (2008)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Let ( X t , t 0 ) be a Lévy process started at 0 , with Lévy measure ν . We consider the first passage time T x of ( X t , t 0 ) to level x > 0 , and K x : = X T x - 𝑥 the overshoot and L x : = x - X T 𝑥 - the undershoot. We first prove that the Laplace transform of the random triple ( T x , K x , L x ) satisfies some kind of integral equation. Second, assuming that ν admits exponential moments, we show that ( T x ˜ , K x , L x ) converges in distribution as x , where T x ˜ denotes a suitable renormalization of T x .

Asymptotic behavior of the hitting time, overshoot and undershoot for some Lévy processes

Bernard Roynette, Pierre Vallois, Agnès Volpi (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Let (Xt, t ≥ 0) be a Lévy process started at 0, with Lévy measure ν. We consider the first passage time Tx of (Xt, t ≥ 0) to level x > 0, and Kx := XTx - x the overshoot and Lx := x- XTx- the undershoot. We first prove that the Laplace transform of the random triple (Tx,Kx,Lx) satisfies some kind of integral equation. Second, assuming that ν admits exponential moments, we show that ( T x ˜ , K x , L x ) converges in distribution as x → ∞, where T x ˜ denotes a suitable renormalization of Tx.


Asymptotic equipartition properties for simple hierarchical and networked structures

Kwabena Doku-Amponsah (2012)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We prove asymptotic equipartition properties for simple hierarchical structures (modelled as multitype Galton-Watson trees) and networked structures (modelled as randomly coloured random graphs). For example, for large n, a networked data structure consisting of n units connected by an average number of links of order n / log n can be coded by about H × n bits, where H is an explicitly defined entropy. The main technique in our proofs are large deviation principles for suitably defined empirical...

Asymptotics for the survival probability in a killed branching random walk

Nina Gantert, Yueyun Hu, Zhan Shi (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Consider a discrete-time one-dimensional supercritical branching random walk. We study the probability that there exists an infinite ray in the branching random walk that always lies above the line of slope γ − ε, where γ denotes the asymptotic speed of the right-most position in the branching random walk. Under mild general assumptions upon the distribution of the branching random walk, we prove that when ε → 0, this probability decays like exp{−(β+o(1)) / ε1/2}, where β is a positive constant...
