First passage upwards for state-dependent-killed spectrally negative Lévy processes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 July 2019
Abstract
For a spectrally negative Lévy process X, killed according to a rate that is a function ω of its position, we complement the recent findings of [12] by analysing (in greater generality) the exit probability of the one-sided upwards passage problem. When ω is strictly positive, this problem is related to the determination of the Laplace transform of the first passage time upwards for X that has been time-changed by the inverse of the additive functional $$\int_0^ \cdot \omega ({X_u}){\kern 1pt} {\rm{d}}u$$. In particular, our findings thus shed extra light on related results concerning first passage times downwards (resp. upwards) of continuous-state branching processes (resp. spectrally negative positive self-similar Markov processes).
