The It{ô}-Föllmer formula -- nonstandard cases

The purpose of this note is to prove the It{ô}-Föllmer formula for the càdlàg paths possessing quadratic variation in a possibly ``weakest'' sense along some sequence of partitions. By this we mean, for example, that we do not require the jumps of the quadratic variation to occur exactly at the times when the path itself jumps or that the quadratic variation exists at all time instances. Moreover, we deal with more general partitions than partitions with vanishing mesh used by Föllmer, also relaxing restrictions imposed on a sequence of partitions in other related literature.

Moments and tails of hitting times of Bessel processes and convolutions of elementary mixtures of exponential distributions

We present explicit estimates of right and left tails and exact (up to universal, multiplicative constants) estimates of tails and moments of hitting times of Bessel processes. The latter estimates are obtained from more general estimates of moments and tails established for convolutions of elementary mixtures of exponential distributions.

Optimal uniform approximation of Lévy processes on Banach spaces with finite variation processes

For a general càdlàg Lévy process on a separable Banach space $V$ we estimate values of $\inf_{Y\in{\cal A}_X} \mathbb{E}\left\{ ψ\left( \Vert X - Y \Vert_\infty\right) + \mathrm{TV}(Y[0,T]) \right\}$, where ${\cal A}_X$ is the family of processes on $V$ adapted to the natural filtration of $X$, $ψ$ has polynomial growth and TV$(Y[0,T])$ denotes the total variation of the process $Y$ on the interval $[0,T]$. Next, we apply obtained estimates in three specific cases: a Brownian motion with drift on $\mathbb{R}$, a standard Brownian motion on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and a symmetric $α$-stable process ($α\in(1,2)$) on $\mathbb{R}$.
