Joint law of the hitting time, overshoot and undershoot for a Lévy process

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let be (Xt,t≥0)(X_t, t\geq 0) be a Lévy process which is the sum of a Brownian motion with drift and a compound Poisson process. We consider the first passage time τxτ_x at a fixed level x>0x>0 by (Xt,t≥0)(X_t, t\geq 0) and Kx:=Xτx−xK_x:= X_{τ_x}-x the overshoot and Lx:=x−Xτx−L_x:= x-X_{τ_x^-} the undershoot. We first study the regularity of the density of the first passage time. Secondly, we calculate the joint law of (τx,Kx,Lx).(τ_x, K_x, L_x).
