How exceptional is the extremal Kendall and Kendall-type convolution

This paper deals with the generalized convolutions connected with the Williamson transform and the maximum operation. We focus on such convolutions which can define transition probabilities of renewal processes. They should be monotonic since the described time or destruction does not go back, it should admit existence of a distribution with a lack of memory property because the analog of the Poisson process shall exist. Another valuable property is the simplicity of calculating and inverting the corresponding generalized characteristic function (in particular Williamson transform) so that the technique of generalized characteristic function can be used in description of our processes. The convex linear combination property (the generalized convolution of two point measures is the convex combination of several fixed measures), or representability (which means that the generalized convolution can be easily written in the language of independent random variables) - they also facilitate the modeling of real processes in that language. We describe examples of generalized convolutions having the required properties ranging from the maximum convolution and its simplest generalization - the Kendall convolution (associated with the Williamson transform), up to the most complicated here - Kingman convolution. It is novel approach to apply in the extreme value theory. Stochastic representation of the Kucharczak-Urbanik in the order statistics terms is proved, which open new paths to investigate Archimedean copulas. This paper open the door to solve an old open problem of the relationship between copulas and generalized convolutions mentioned by B. Schweizer and A. Sklar in 1983. This indicates the path of further research towards extremes and dependency modelling.

Cramer-Lundberg model for some classes of extremal Markov sequences

The classical Cramer-Lundberg model was the first attempt to describe the financial condition of the insurance company. The incomes were approximated by a steady stream of money, insurance payments were not limited and could take any value from zero to infinity. The society did not invest any part of its money, do not have any employees, shareholders or enterprise maintenance costs. There exists many modifications of the Cramer-Lundberg model which cover at least some of the problems described here, but usually they require insight into the internal financial policy of the insurance company. We propose here another modification based on Markov processes defined by generalized convolutions. Thanks to the generalized convolutions we can approximate stochastically the internal financial policy of the company based on publicly available data. In this paper we focus on computing the ruin probability for an infinite time horizon for the Markov processes Cramer-Lundberg model where the transition probabilities are defined by generalized convolutions, in particular $α$-convolution, maximal convolution and the Kendall convolution.

Renewal theory for extremal Markov sequences of the Kendall type

The paper deals with renewal theory for a class of extremal Markov sequences connected with the Kendall convolution. We consider here some particular cases of the Wold processes associated with generalized convolutions. We prove an analogue of the Fredholm theorem for all regular generalized convolutions algebras. Using regularly varying functions we prove a Blackwell theorem for renewal processes defined by Kendall random walks.

Lévy processes and stochastic integrals in the sense of generalized convolutions

In this paper, we present a comprehensive theory of generalized and weak generalized convolutions, illustrate it by a large number of examples, and discuss the related infinitely divisible distributions. We consider Lévy and additive process with respect to generalized and weak generalized convolutions as certain Markov processes, and then study stochastic integrals with respect to such processes. We introduce the representability property of weak generalized convolutions. Under this property and the related weak summability, a stochastic integral with respect to random measures related to such convolutions is constructed.

Weak Lévy-Khintchine representation for weak infinite divisibility

A random vector ${\bf X}$ is weakly stable iff for all $a,b \in \mathbb{R}$ there exists a random variable $Θ$ such that $a{\bf X} + b {\bf X}' \stackrel{d}{=} {\bf X} Θ$, where $X'$ is an independent copy of $X$ and $Θ$ is independent of $X$. This is equivalent (see [12]) with the condition that for all random variables $Q_1, Q_2$ there exists a random variable $Θ$ such that $$ {\bf X} Q_1 + {\bf X}' Q_2 \stackrel{d}{=} {\bf X} Θ, \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad (\ast) $$ where ${\bf X}, {\bf X}', Q_1, Q_2, Θ$ are independent. In this paper we define weak generalized convolution of measures defined by the formula $$ {\mathcal L}(Q_1) \otimes_μ {\mathcal L}(Q_2) = {\mathcal L}(Θ), $$ if the equation $(\ast)$ holds for ${\bf X}, Q_1, Q_2, Θ$ and $μ= {\mathcal L}(X)$. We study here basic properties of this convolution and basic properties of distributions which are infinitely divisible in the sense of this convolution. The main result of this paper is the analog of the Lévy-Khintchine representation theorem for $\otimes_μ$-infinitely divisible distributions.

Classical definitions of the Poisson process do not coincide in the case of generalized convolutions

In the paper we consider a generalizations of the notion of Poisson process to the case when classical convolution is replaced by generalized convolution in the sense of K. Urbanik [16] following two classical definitions of Poisson process. First, for every generalized convolution $\diamond$ we define $\diamond$-generalized Poisson process type I as a Markov process with the $\diamond$-generalized Poisson distribution. Such processes have stationary independent increments in the sense of generalized convolution, but usually they do not live on $\mathbb{N}_0$. The $\diamond$-generalized Poisson process type II is defined as a renewal process based on the sequence $S_n$, which is a Markov process with the step with the lack of memory property. Such processes take values in $\mathbb{N}_0$, however they do not have to be Markov processes, do not have to have independent increments, even in generalized convolution sense. It turns out that the second construction is possible only for monotonic generalized convolutions which admit the existence of distributions with lack of memory, thus we also study these properties.
