Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the laws of exponential functionals of the processes $X={({X_{s}})_{s\ge 0}}$ with independent increments, namely
\[ {I_{t}}={\int _{0}^{t}}\exp (-{X_{s}})ds,\hspace{0.1667em}\hspace{0.1667em}t\ge 0,\]
and also
\[ {I_{\infty }}={\int _{0}^{\infty }}\exp (-{X_{s}})ds.\]
Under suitable conditions, the integro-differential equations for the density of ${I_{t}}$ and ${I_{\infty }}$ are derived. Sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of a smooth density of the laws of these functionals with respect to the Lebesgue measure. In the particular case of Lévy processes these equations can be simplified and, in a number of cases, solved explicitly.
