Asymptotic behavior of the hitting time, overshoot andundershoot for some Lévy processes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 November 2007
Abstract
Let (Xt, t ≥ 0) be a Lévy process started at 0, with Lévy measure ν. We consider the first passage time Tx of (Xt, t ≥ 0) to level x > 0, and Kx := XTx - x the overshoot and Lx := x- XTx- the undershoot. We first prove that the Laplace transform of the random triple (Tx,Kx,Lx) satisfies some kind of integral equation. Second, assuming that ν admits exponential moments, we show that $(\widetilde{T_x},K_x,L_x)$ converges in distribution as x → ∞, where $\widetilde{T_x}$ denotes a suitable renormalization of Tx.
