Hitting distributions of $\alpha$-stable processes via path censoring and self-similarity

Abstract: We consider two first passage problems for stable processes, not necessarily symmetric, in one dimension. We make use of a novel method of path censoring in order to deduce explicit formulas for hitting probabilities, hitting distributions, and a killed potential measure. To do this, we describe in full detail the Wiener-Hopf factorisation of a new Lamperti-stable-type Lévy process obtained via the Lamperti transform, in the style of recent work in this area.

“…Note that this process is different from (actually simpler than) Pistorius' doubly reflected process of [34], since here the boundary behaviour at 0 is not reflection, and is also different from Lambert's [28] process confined in a finite interval (conditioned not to exit (0, b)). The discussion of these three cases is connected to the discussion in [10] and [27,Remark 3.3], which distinguish three types of exit at a boundary (A) continuously, (B) by a jump or (C) not at all (while preserving self-similarity of the process). In our context (two boundaries, self-similarity being meaningless on an interval, but re-entry being allowed), Lambert studies (C,C) exits from (0, b), no entry needed, Pistorius studies the (A,B) exit (A,A) entrance, and we find (A,B) exit (B,A) entrance.…”

“…where the last asymptotic relation was obtained by taking the leading term in s. For the denominator, note that where the prefactors are expressed in a form suitable for comparison with the prefactors obtained from other methods [34,45,26,28]. Even though the derivation here is rough, with the key asymptotic result (C.9) obtained using computer algebra software [37], it is important to note that all previous methods have ultimately derived, to the knowledge of the author, from techniques due to Lamperti, either using the theorem due to Skorokhod [25], the formalised Lamperti transform [7], or directly [34,45]; all of which make use of similar intermediate expressions in order to arrive at the prefactor. However, the approach here used elementary techniques on the first-hit distribution along with the free propagator.…”
