Exit Problems for Spectrally Negative Lévy Processes Reflected at Either the Supremum or the Infimum
Bibliographic record
Abstract
For a spectrally negative Lévy process X on the real line, let S denote its supremum process and let I denote its infimum process. For a > 0, let τ(a) and κ(a) denote the times when the reflected processes Ŷ := S − X and Y := X − I first exit level a, respectively; let τ−(a) and κ−(a) denote the times when X first reaches Sτ(a) and Iκ(a), respectively. The main results of this paper concern the distributions of (τ(a), Sτ(a), τ−(a), Ŷτ(a)) and of (κ(a), Iκ(a), κ−(a)). They generalize some recent results on spectrally negative Lévy processes. Our approach relies on results concerning the solution to the two-sided exit problem for X. Such an approach is also adapted to study the excursions for the reflected processes. More explicit expressions are obtained when X is either a Brownian motion with drift or a completely asymmetric stable process.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
