TL;DR: In this article, several definitions of the Riesz fractional Laplace operator in R^d have been studied, including singular integrals, semigroups of operators, Bochner's subordination, and harmonic extensions.
Abstract: This article reviews several definitions of the fractional Laplace operator (-Delta)^{alpha/2} (0 < alpha < 2) in R^d, also known as the Riesz fractional derivative operator, as an operator on Lebesgue spaces L^p, on the space C_0 of continuous functions vanishing at infinity and on the space C_{bu} of bounded uniformly continuous functions. Among these definitions are ones involving singular integrals, semigroups of operators, Bochner's subordination and harmonic extensions. We collect and extend known results in order to prove that all these definitions agree: on each of the function spaces considered, the corresponding operators have common domain and they coincide on that common domain.

TL;DR: A closed formula for prices of perpetual American call options in terms of the overall supremum of the Lévy process, and a corresponding closed formulas for perpetual American put options involving the infimum of the after-mentioned process are obtained.
Abstract: Consider a model of a financial market with a stock driven by a Levy process and constant interest rate. A closed formula for prices of perpetual American call options in terms of the overall supremum of the Levy process, and a corresponding closed formula for perpetual American put options involving the infimum of the after-mentioned process are obtained. As a direct application of the previous results, a Black-Scholes type formula is given. Also as a consequence, simple explicit formulas for prices of call options are obtained for a Levy process with positive mixed-exponential and arbitrary negative jumps. In the case of put options, similar simple formulas are obtained under the condition of negative mixed-exponential and arbitrary positive jumps. Risk-neutral valuation is discussed and a simple jump-diffusion model is chosen to illustrate the results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review work on extreme events, their causes and consequences, by a group of European and American researchers involved in a three-year project on these topics.
Abstract: We review work on extreme events, their causes and consequences, by a group of European and American researchers involved in a three-year project on these topics. The review covers theoretical aspects of time series analysis and of extreme value theory, as well as of the deterministic modeling of extreme events, via continuous and discrete dynamic models. The applications include climatic, seismic and socio-economic events, along with their prediction. Two important results refer to (i) the complementarity of spectral analysis of a time series in terms of the continuous and the discrete part of its power spectrum; and (ii) the need for coupled modeling of natural and socio-economic systems. Both these results have implications for the study and prediction of natural hazards and their human impacts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined volatility activity and its asymmetry and undertakes further specification analysis of volatility models based on it, concluding that volatility moves are best captured by an infinite variation pure-jump martingale with a symmetric jump compensator around zero.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the asymptotic behavior of real-valued Levy processes in a random environment and showed that five different regimes depend on the shape of the Laplace exponent.
Abstract: Let $\xi=(\xi_t, t\ge 0)$ be a real-valued Levy process and define its associated exponential functional as follows \[ I_t(\xi):=\int_0^t \exp\{-\xi_s\}{\rm d} s, \qquad t\ge 0. \] Motivated by important applications to stochastic processes in random environment, we study the asymptotic behaviour of \[ \mathbb{E}\Big[F\big(I_t(\xi)\big)\Big] \qquad \textrm{as}\qquad t\to \infty, \] where $F$ is a non-increasing function with polynomial decay at infinity and under some exponential moment conditions on $\xi$. In particular, we find five different regimes that depend on the shape of the Laplace exponent of $\xi$. Our proof relies on a discretisation of the exponential functional $I_t(\xi)$ and is closely related to the behaviour of functionals of semi-direct products of random variables. We apply our main result to three {questions} associated to stochastic processes in random environment. We first consider the asymptotic behaviour of extinction and explosion for {stable} continuous state branching processes in a Levy random environment. Secondly, we {focus on} the asymptotic behaviour of the mean of a population model with competition in a Levy random environment and finally, we study the tail behaviour of the maximum of a diffusion process in a Levy random environment.

Abstract: Let \(V\in C^2(\mathbb{R }^d)\) such that \(\mu _V(\text{ d }x):= \text{ e }^{-V(x)}\,\text{ d }x\) is a probability measure, and let \(\alpha \in (0,2)\) Explicit criteria are presented for the \(\alpha \)-stable-like Dirichlet form $$\begin{aligned} {\fancyscript{E}}_{\alpha ,V}(f,f):= \int \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\int \limits _{\mathbb{R }^d\times \mathbb{R }^d} \frac{|f(x)-f(y)|^2}{|x-y|^{d+\alpha }}\,\text{ d }y\,\text{ e }^{-V(x)}\,\text{ d }x \end{aligned}$$ to satisfy Poincare-type (ie, Poincare, weak Poincare and super Poincare) inequalities As applications, sharp functional inequalities are derived for the Dirichlet form with \(V\) having some typical growths Finally, the main result of [15] on the Poincare inequality is strengthened

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider multilevel Monte Carlo for the numerical computation of expectations for stochastic differential equations driven by Levy processes and prove stable convergence of an idealised scheme.
Abstract: In this article, we consider multilevel Monte Carlo for the numerical computation of expectations for stochastic differential equations driven by Levy processes. The underlying numerical schemes are based on jump-adapted Euler schemes. We prove stable convergence of an idealised scheme. Further, we deduce limit theorems for certain classes of functionals depending on the whole trajectory of the process. In particular, we allow dependence on marginals, integral averages and the supremum of the process. The idealised scheme is related to two practically implementable schemes and corresponding central limit theorems are given. In all cases, we obtain errors of order $N^{-1/2}(\log N)^{1/2}$ in the computational time $N$ which is the same order as obtained in the classical set-up analysed by Giles [Oper. Res. 56 (2008) 607-617]. Finally, we use the central limit theorems to optimise the parameters of the multilevel scheme.
