Abstract

In a recent article, Döring et al. (2018) conditioned a stable process with two-sided jumps to avoid an interval. As usual, the strategy was to find an invariant function for the process killed on entering the interval and to show that the corresponding h-transformed process is indeed the process conditioned to avoid an interval in a meaningful way. In the present article we consider the case of a completely asymmetric stable process. It turns out that the invariant function found by Döring et al. does not exist or is not invariant, but nonetheless we will characterise the conditioned process as a Markov process.
