We introduce a branching process in a sparse random environment as an intermediate model between a Galton–Watson process and a branching process in a random environment. In the critical case we investigate the survival probability and prove Yaglom-type limit theorems, that is, limit theorems for the size of population conditioned on the survival event.

The class of one-dimensional equations driven by a stochastic measure μ is studied. For μ only σ-additivity in probability is assumed. This class of equations includes the Burgers equation and the heat equation. The existence and uniqueness of the solution are proved, and the averaging principle for the equation is studied.

The stochastic literature contains several extensions of the exponential distribution which increase its applicability and flexibility. In the present article, some properties of a new power modified exponential family with an original Kies correction are discussed. This family is defined as a Kies distribution which domain is transformed by another Kies distribution. Its probabilistic properties are investigated and some limitations for the saturation in the Hausdorff sense are derived. Moreover, a formula of a semiclosed form is obtained for this saturation. Also the tail behavior of these distributions is examined considering three different criteria inspired by the financial markets, namely, the VaR, AVaR, and expectile based VaR. Some numerical experiments are provided, too.

A new modified Φ-Sobolev inequality for canonical ${L^{2}}$-Lévy processes, which are hybrid cases of the Brownian motion and pure jump-Lévy processes, is developed. Existing results included only a part of the Brownian motion process and pure jump processes. A generalized version of the Φ-Sobolev inequality for the Poisson and Wiener spaces is derived. Furthermore, the theorem can be applied to obtain concentration inequalities for canonical Lévy processes. In contrast to the measure concentration inequalities for the Brownian motion alone or pure jump Lévy processes alone, the measure concentration inequalities for canonical Lévy processes involve Lambert’s W-function. Examples of inequalities are also presented, such as the supremum of Lévy processes in the case of mixed Brownian motion and Poisson processes.

A new formula for the ultimate ruin probability in the Cramér–Lundberg risk process is provided when the claims are assumed to follow a finite mixture of m Erlang distributions. Using the theory of recurrence sequences, the method proposed here shifts the problem of finding the ruin probability to the study of an associated characteristic polynomial and its roots. The found formula is given by a finite sum of terms, one for each root of the polynomial, and allows for yet another approximation of the ruin probability. No constraints are assumed on the multiplicity of the roots and that is illustrated via a couple of numerical examples.

The time-inhomogeneous autoregressive model AR(1) is studied, which is the process of the form Xn+1=αnXn+εn, where αn are constants, and εn are independent random variables. Conditions on αn and distributions of εn are established that guarantee the geometric recurrence of the process. This result is applied to estimate the stability of n-steps transition probabilities for two autoregressive processes X(1) and X(2) assuming that both αn(i), i∈{1,2}, and distributions of εn(i), i∈{1,2}, are close enough.

Shafer and Vovk introduce in their book [8] the notion of instant enforcement and instantly blockable properties. However, they do not associate these notions with any outer measure, unlike what Vovk did in the case of sets of “typical” price paths. In this paper an outer measure on the space $[0,+infty )times Omega $ is introduced, which assigns zero value exactly to those sets (properties) of pairs of time t and an elementary event ω which are instantly blockable. Next, for a slightly modified measure, Itô’s isometry and BDG inequalities are proved, and then they are used to define an Itô-type integral. Additionally, few properties are proved for the quadratic variation of model-free continuous martingales, which hold with instant enforcement.

Some equations are provided for the Variance Gamma process using the definition other than that based on a time-changed Brownian motion. A new nonlocal equation is obtained involving generalized Weyl derivatives, which is true even in the drifted case. The connection to special functions is in focus, and a space equation for the process is studied. In conclusion, the convergence in distribution of a compound Poisson process to the Variance Gamma process is observed.
