A discretization scheme for nonnegative diffusion processes is proposed and the convergence of the corresponding sequence of approximate processes is proved using the martingale problem framework. Motivations for this scheme come typically from finance, especially for path-dependent option...

This paper revisits the spectrally negative Lévy risk process embedded with the general tax structure introduced in Kyprianou and Zhou (2009). A joint Laplace transform is found concerning the first down-crossing time below level 0. The potential density is also obtained for the taxed Lévy...

Drawdowns measuring the decline in value from the historical running maxima over a given period of time, are considered as extremal events from the standpoint of risk management. To date, research on the topic has mainly focus on the side of severity by studying the first drawdown over certain...
