Abstract
In this paper we introduce a ten-parameter family of Lévy processes for which we obtain Wiener–Hopf factors and distribution of the supremum process in semi-explicit form. This family allows an arbitrary behavior of small jumps and includes processes similar to the generalized tempered stable, KoBoL and CGMY processes. Analytically it is characterized by the property that the characteristic exponent is a meromorphic function, expressed in terms of beta and digamma functions. We prove that the Wiener–Hopf factors can be expressed as infinite products over roots of a certain transcendental equation, and the density of the supremum process can be computed as an exponentially converging infinite series. In several special cases when the roots can be found analytically, we are able to identify the Wiener–Hopf factors and distribution of the supremum in closed form. In the general case we prove that all the roots are real and simple, and we provide localization results and asymptotic formulas which allow an efficient numerical evaluation. We also derive a convergence acceleration algorithm for infinite products and a simple and efficient procedure to compute the Wiener–Hopf factors for complex values of parameters. As a numerical example we discuss computation of the density of the supremum process.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
