Splitting and time reversal for Markov Additive Processes
Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2017Co-Authors: Jevgenijs IvanovsAbstract:We consider a Markov Additive Process with a finite phase space and study its path decompositions at the times of extrema, first passage and last exit. For these three families of times we establish splitting conditional on the phase, and provide various relations between the laws of post- and pre-splitting Processes using time reversal. These results offer valuable insight into the behaviour of the Process, and while being structurally similar to the Levy Process case, they demonstrate various new features. As an application we formulate the Wiener–Hopf factorization, where time is counted in each phase separately and killing of the Process is phase dependent. Restricting to the case of no positive jumps, we find concise formulas for these factors, and also characterize the time of last exit from the negative half-line. The latter result is obtained using three quite different approaches based on the established path decomposition theory, which further demonstrates its applicability.

Splitting and time reversal for Markov Additive Processes
arXiv: Probability, 2015Co-Authors: Jevgenijs IvanovsAbstract:We consider a Markov Additive Process with a finite phase space and study its path decompositions at the times of extrema, first passage and last exit. For these three families of times we establish splitting conditional on the phase, and provide various relations between the laws of post- and pre-splitting Processes using time reversal. These results offer valuable insight into behavior of the Process, and while being structurally similar to the L\'evy Process case, they demonstrate various new features. As an application we formulate the Wiener-Hopf factorization, where time is counted in each phase separately and killing of the Process is phase dependent. Assuming no positive jumps, we find concise formulas for these factors, and also characterize the time of last exit from the negative half-line using three different approaches, which further demonstrates applicability of path decomposition theory.

Potential measures of one-sided Markov Additive Processes with reflecting and terminating barriers
Journal of Applied Probability, 2014Co-Authors: Jevgenijs IvanovsAbstract:Consider a one-sided Markov Additive Process with an upper and a lower barrier, where each can be either reflecting or terminating. For both defective and nondefective Processes, and all possible scenarios, we identify the corresponding potential measures, which help to generalize a number of results for one-sided Levy Processes. The resulting rather neat formulae have various applications in risk and queueing theories, and, in particular, they lead to quasistationary distributions of the corresponding Processes.

first passage of a markov Additive Process and generalized jordan chains
Journal of Applied Probability, 2010Co-Authors: Bernardo Dauria, Jevgenijs Ivanovs, Offer Kella, Mrh Michel MandjesAbstract:In this paper we consider the first passage Process of a spectrally negative Markov Additive Process (MAP). The law of this Process is uniquely characterized by a certain matrix function, which plays a crucial role in fluctuation theory. We show how to identify this matrix using the theory of Jordan chains associated with analytic matrix functions. This result provides us with a technique, which can be used to derive various further identities.

Singularities of the matrix exponent of a Markov Additive Process with one-sided jumps
Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2010Co-Authors: Jevgenijs Ivanovs, Onno Boxma, Mrh Michel MandjesAbstract:We analyze the number of zeros of det(F([alpha])), where F([alpha]) is the matrix exponent of a Markov Additive Process (MAP) with one-sided jumps. The focus is on the number of zeros in the right half of the complex plane, where F([alpha]) is analytic. In addition, we also consider the case of a MAP killed at an independent exponential time. The corresponding zeros can be seen as the roots of a generalized Cramer-Lundberg equation. We argue that our results are particularly useful in fluctuation theory for MAPs, which leads to numerous applications in queueing theory and finance.

On the record Process of time-reversible spectrally-negative Markov Additive Processes
2009Co-Authors: Jevgenijs Ivanovs, Mrh Michel MandjesAbstract:We study the record Process of a spectrally-negative Markov Additive Process (MAP). Assuming time-reversibility, a number of key quantities can be given explicitly. It is shown how these key quantities can be used when analyzing the distribution of the all-time maximum attained by MAPs with negative drift, or, equivalently, the stationary workload distribution of the associated storage system; the focus is on Markov-modulated Brownian mo- tion, spectrally-negative and spectrally-positive MAPs. It is also argued how our results are of great help in the numerical analysis of systems in which the driving MAP is a superposition of multiple time-reversible MAPs.

singularities of the generator of a markov Additive Process with one sided jumps
CWI. Probability Networks and Algorithms [PNA], 2008Co-Authors: Jevgenijs Ivanovs, Onno Boxma, Mrh Michel MandjesAbstract:htmlabstractWe analyze the number of zeros of det(F(alpha)), where F(alpha) is the matrix cumulant generating function of a Markov Additive Process (MAP) with one-sided jumps. The focus is on the number of zeros in the right half of the comple x plane, where det(F(alpha)) is well-defined. Moreover, we analyze the case of a killed MAP with state-dependent killing rates, and the limiting behavior of the zeros as all killing rates converge to 0. We argue that our results are particulary useful for the fluctuation theory of MAPs. For example, they lead, under mild assumptions, to a straightforward identification of the stationary distribution of a reflected MAP with one-sided jumps.

A new DFM approach to combine machining and Additive manufacturing
Computers in Industry, 2011Co-Authors: Olivier Kerbrat, Pascal Mognol, Jean-yves HascoetAbstract:Design For Manufacturing (DFM) approaches aim to integrate manufacturability aspects during the design stage. Most of DFM approaches usually consider only one manufacturing Process, but products competitiveness may be improved by designing hybrid modular products, in which products are seen as 3-D puzzles with modules realized aside by the best manufacturing Process and further gathered. A new DFM system is created in order to give quantitative information during the product design stage of which modules will benefit in being machined and which ones will advantageously be realized by an Additive Process (such as Selective Laser Sintering or laser deposition). A methodology for a manufacturability evaluation in case of a subtractive or an Additive manufacturing Process is developed and implemented in a CAD software. Tests are carried out on industrial products from automotive industry.

Manufacturing complexity evaluation at the design stage for both machining and layered manufacturing
CIRP Journal of Manufacturing Science and Technology, 2010Co-Authors: Olivier Kerbrat, Pascal Mognol, Jean-yves HascoetAbstract:In this paper, a methodology to estimate manufacturing complexity for both machining and layered manufacturing is proposed in order to realize tools (dies or molds) by a combination of a subtractive and an Additive Process. Manufacturability indexes are calculated at the tool design stage, these indexes provide an accurate view of which areas of the tool will advantageously be machined or manufactured by an Additive Process. In this case, tools are not seen as single pieces but as 3-D puzzles with modules, manufactured aside by the best Process and further assembled.

Manufacturability analysis to combine Additive and subtractive Processes
Rapid Prototyping Journal, 2010Co-Authors: Olivier Kerbrat, Pascal Mognol, Jean-yves HascoetAbstract:Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a methodology to estimate manufacturing complexity for both machining and layered manufacturing. The goal is to take into account manufacturing constraints at design stage in order to realize tools (dies and molds) by a combination of a subtractive Process (high‐speed machining) and an Additive Process (selective laser sintering).Design/methodology/approach – Manufacturability indexes are defined and calculated from the tool computer‐aided design (CAD) model, according to geometric, material and specification information.

a numerically efficient closed form representation of mean variance hedging for exponential Additive Processes based on malliavin calculus
Applied Mathematical Finance, 2018Co-Authors: Takuji Arai, Yuto ImaiAbstract:We focus on mean-variance hedging problem for models whose asset price follows an exponential Additive Process. Some representations of mean-variance hedging strategies for jump-type models have already been suggested, but none is suited to develop numerical methods of the values of strategies for any given time up to the maturity. In this paper, we aim to derive a new explicit closed-form representation, which enables us to develop an efficient numerical method using the fast Fourier transforms. Note that our representation is described in terms of Malliavin derivatives. In addition, we illustrate numerical results for exponential Levy models.
