TL;DR: In this article, a stochastic process that describes a finite-velocity damped motion on the real line is introduced, where the random times between consecutive velocity changes have exponential distribution with linearly increasing parameters.
Abstract: We introduce a stochastic process that describes a finite-velocity damped motion on the real line. Differently from the telegraph process, the random times between consecutive velocity changes have exponential distribution with linearly increasing parameters. We obtain the probability law of the motion, which admits a logistic stationary limit in a special case. Various results on the distributions of the maximum of the process and of the first passage time through a constant boundary are also given.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered a semi-Markovian generalization of the integrated telegraph process subject to jumps and obtained the formal expressions of the forward and backward transition densities of the motion.
Abstract: We consider a semi-Markovian generalization of the integrated telegraph process subject to jumps. It describes a motion on the real line characterized by two alternating velocities with opposite directions, where a jump along the alternating direction occurs at each velocity reversal. We obtain the formal expressions of the forward and backward transition densities of the motion. We express them as series in the case of Erlang-distributed random times separating consecutive jumps. Furthermore, a closed form of the transition density is given for exponentially distributed times, with constant jumps and random initial velocity. In this case we also provide mean and variance of the process, and study the limiting behaviour of the probability law, which leads to a mixture of three Gaussian densities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered a generalized telegraph process which follows an alternating renewal process and is subject to random jumps, and developed the distribution of the location of the particle at an arbitrary fixed time t, and study this distribution under the assumption of exponentially distributed alternating random times.
Abstract: We consider a generalized telegraph process which follows an alternating renewal process and is subject to random jumps. More specifically, consider a particle at the origin of the real line at time t=0. Then it goes along two alternating velocities with opposite directions, and performs a random jump toward the alternating direction at each velocity reversal. We develop the distribution of the location of the particle at an arbitrary fixed time t, and study this distribution under the assumption of exponentially distributed alternating random times. The cases of jumps having exponential distributions with constant rates and with linearly increasing rates are treated in detail.

TL;DR: In this article, a fractional counting process with jumps of amplitude 1,2,...,k, withk∈N, whose probabilistic ability to satisfy a suitablesystemoffractionaldifference-differential equations is considered.
Abstract: We consider a fractional counting process with jumps of amplitude 1,2,...,k, withk∈N, whoseprobabilitiessatisfy a suitablesystemoffractionaldifference-differential equations. We obtain the moment generating function and the probability law of the result- ing process in terms of generalized Mittag-Leffler functions. We also discuss two equiv- alent representations both in terms of a compound fractional Poisson process and of a subordinator governed by a suitable fractional Cauchy problem. The first occurrence time of a jump of fixed amplitude is proved to have the same distribution as the waiting time of the first event of a classical fractional Poisson process, this extending a well-known property of the Poisson process. When k = 2 we also express the distribution of the first passage time of the fractional counting process in an integral form. Finally, we show that the ratios given by the powers of the fractional Poisson process and of the countingprocess over their means tend to 1 in probability.

TL;DR: The first-crossing time problem for the iterated Poisson process is finally tackled in the cases of a decreasing and constant boundary, where some closed-form results are provided and a linearly increasing boundary where an iterative procedure is proposed to compute the first-Crossing time density and survival functions.
Abstract: A compound Poisson process whose randomized time is an independent Poisson process is called a compound Poisson process with Poisson subordinator We provide its probability distribution, which is expressed in terms of the Bell polynomials, and investigate in detail both the special cases in which the compound Poisson process has exponential jumps and normal jumps Then for the iterated Poisson process we discuss some properties and provide convergence results to a Poisson process The first-crossing time problem for the iterated Poisson process is finally tackled in the cases of (i) a decreasing and constant boundary, where we provide some closed-form results, and (ii) a linearly increasing boundary, where we propose an iterative procedure to compute the first-crossing time density and survival functions

TL;DR: This is the first reconstruction of pre-eruptive magma transfer at Campi Flegrei and corroborates the existence of a stationary oblate source, below the caldera centre, that has been feeding lateral eruptions for the last ~5 ka.
Abstract: Calderas are collapse structures related to the emptying of magmatic reservoirs, often associated with large eruptions from long-lived magmatic systems. Understanding how magma is transferred from a magma reservoir to the surface before eruptions is a major challenge. Here we exploit the historical, archaeological and geological record of Campi Flegrei caldera to estimate the surface deformation preceding the Monte Nuovo eruption and investigate the shallow magma transfer. Our data suggest a progressive magma accumulation from ~1251 to 1536 in a 4.6 ± 0.9 km deep source below the caldera centre, and its transfer, between 1536 and 1538, to a 3.8 ± 0.6 km deep magmatic source ~4 km NW of the caldera centre, below Monte Nuovo; this peripheral source fed the eruption through a shallower source, 0.4 ± 0.3 km deep. This is the first reconstruction of pre-eruptive magma transfer at Campi Flegrei and corroborates the existence of a stationary oblate source, below the caldera centre, that has been feeding lateral eruptions for the last ~5 ka. Our results suggest: 1) repeated emplacement of magma through intrusions below the caldera centre; 2) occasional lateral transfer of magma feeding non-central eruptions within the caldera. Comparison with historical unrest at calderas worldwide suggests that this behavior is common.
