Stochastic optimal control of Lévy tax processes with bailouts

Dalal Al Ghanim, Ronnie Loeffen, Alexander R. Watson

We consider controlling the paths of a spectrally negative Lévy process by two means: the subtraction of `taxes' when the process is at an all-time maximum, and the addition of `ba…

The uniqueness of the Wiener-Hopf factorisation of Lévy processes and random walks

Leif Döring, Mladen Savov, Lukas Trottner +1

We prove that the spatial Wiener-Hopf factorisation of a Lévy process or random walk without killing is unique.

Markov additive friendships

Leif Döring, Lukas Trottner, Alexander R. Watson

The Wiener--Hopf factorisation of a Lévy or Markov additive process describes the way that it attains new maxima and minima in terms of a pair of so-called ladder height processes.…

Optimal stopping of the stable process with state-dependent killing

K. van Schaik, A. R. Watson, X. Xu

We describe the solution of an optimal stopping problem for a stable Lévy process killed at state-dependent rate, which can be seen as a model for bankruptcy. The killing rate is c…

A quasi-stationary approach to the long-term asymptotics of the growth-fragmentation equation

Denis Villemonais, Alexander Watson

In a growth-fragmentation system, cells grow in size slowly and split apart at random. Typically, the number of cells in the system grows exponentially and the distribution of the…

A growth-fragmentation model connected to the ricocheted stable process

Alexander R. Watson

Growth-fragmentation processes describe the evolution of systems in which cells grow slowly and fragment suddenly. Despite originating as a way to describe biological phenomena, th…
