Series Representations of Lévy Processes from the Perspective of Point Processes

  • Chapter
Lévy Processes

Abstract

Several methods of generating series representations of a Lévy process are presented under a unified approach and a new rejection method is introduced in this context. The connection of such representations with the Lévy-Itô integral representation is precisely established. Four series representations of a gamma process are given as illustrations of these methods.
