In this paper we consider the class of Lévy processes that can be written as a Brownian motion time changed by an independent Lévy subordinator. Examples in this class include the variance-gamma (VG) model, the normal-inverse Gaussian model, and other processes popular in financial modeling. The question addressed is the precise relation between the standard first passage time and an alternative notion, which we call the first passage of the second kind, as suggested by Hurd (2007) and others. We are able to prove that the standard first passage time is the almost-sure limit of iterations of the first passage of the second kind. Many different problems arising in financial mathematics are posed as first passage problems, and motivated by this fact, we are led to consider the implications of the approximation scheme for fast numerical methods for computing first passage. We find that the generic form of the iteration can be competitive with other numerical techniques. In the particular case of the VG model, the scheme can be further refined to give very fast algorithms.

Markov Modulated

In this paper we determine the distributions of occupation times of a Markov-modulated Brownian motion (MMBM) in separate intervals before a first passage time or an exit from an interval. We derive the distributions in terms of their Laplace transforms, and we also distinguish between occupation times in different phases. For MMBMs with strictly positive variation parameters, we further propose scale functions.

Bounded Derivative

We prove that for a diffusion process the first-passage-time p.d.f. through a continuous-time function with bounded derivative satisfies a Volterra integral equation of the second kind whose kernel and right-hand term are probability currents. For the case of the standard Wiener process this equation is solved in closed form not only for the class of boundaries already introduced by Park and Paranjape [15] but also for all boundaries of the type S(I) = a + bt ‘/p (p ∼ 2, a, b E ∼) for which no explicit analytical results have previously been available.

Passage Times

In this paper we assign a set of conditions to a strong Markov process and arrive at a differential equation analogous to the Kolmogorov equation. However, in this case the duration variable is the net distance travelled and the state variable is a time, a situation precisely opposite to that of Brownian motion. Solving this differential equation under certain boundary conditions produces the density function of the first passage times of Brownian motion with positive drift (see [1]), with the aid of which we define a new stochastic process.
