“…See e.g., Avram, Palmowski & Pistorius [7], Klüppelberg et al [25], Mordecki [40], Xing et al [46], Cai et al [10], Zhang et al [49], Chi [13], Chi and Lin [14], Yin et al [47], Hu et al [20]. In the context of mathematical finance, the first passage time is crucial for the pricing of many path-dependent options, American-type and Russian-type options, such as Kou [26], Kou and Wang ([27], [28]), Asmussen et al [6], Alili and Kyprianou [3], Cai et al [10], Cai and Kou [11], Jeannin and Pistorius [21], Kim et al [24] and together with certain credit risk models, see, for example, Hilberink and Rogers [19], Le Courtois and Quittard-Pinon [34], Dong et al [16], and Leippold and Vasiljevic [35]. Cai and Sun [12] investigate pricing problems of both infinite-and finitematurity stock loans under a hyper-exponential jump diffusion model.…”
