✦ Synopsis
These are processes A whose conditional laws, given some driving process X, are those of a process with independent increments. The treatment is limited to such increasing processes A, without assumptions on the law of X. Considering the time T of crossing some fixed threshold value by A, we derive the joint distribution of the state of X at time T, the left-limit of A at T, and the right-limit of A at T. The motivation comes from reliability theory ss well as certain problems in the theory of Brownian motion.

This article investigates the valuation of a foreign equity option whose value depends on the exchange rate and foreign equity prices. Assuming that these underlying price processes are correlated and driven by a multidimensional Lévy process, a method suitable for solving the complex valuation prob
## Abstract The classical notion of Lévy process is generalized to one that takes as its values probabilities on a first or‐der model equipped with a commutative semigroup. This is achieved by applying a convolution product on definable probabilities and the infinite divisibility with respect to it
