For a random walk with both downward and upward jumps (increments), the joint distribution of the exit time across a given level and the undershoot or overshoot at crossing is determined through its generating function, when assuming that the distribution of the jump in the direction making the exit possible has a Laplace transform which is a rational function. The expected exit time is also determined and the paper concludes with exact distribution results concerning exits from bounded…
Exit Times for a Discrete Markov Additive Process

The form of the generating function of $\mathbf{W}$ and its connection with the occupation mass formula is identified, which provides the tools for deriving semi-explicit expressions for corresponding exit problems for the upward-skip free process and it's reflections, in terms the scale matrices.

Exit Times, Overshoot and Undershoot for a Surplus Process in the Presence of an Upper Barrier
• Mathematics
• 2017
We study the movement of a surplus process with initial capital u in the presence of two barriers: a lower barrier at zero and an upper barrier at b (b > u). More specifically, we consider the
Lévy Processes, Phase-Type Distributions, and Martingales
Lévy processes are defined as processes with stationary independent increments and have become increasingly popular as models in queueing, finance, etc.; apart from Brownian motion and compound

Two-boundary problems for a random walk with negative geometric jumps are considered, and the corresponding results for a usual semicontinuous random walk are generalized for them. The following
