Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications

Models of generalized counting processes time-changed by a general inverse subordinator are considered, their distributions are characterized, and governing equations for them are presented. The equations are given in terms of the generalized fractional derivatives, namely, convolution-type derivatives with respect to Bernštein functions. Some particular examples are presented.

Let $\{L(t),t\ge 0\}$ be a Lévy process with representative random variable $L(1)$ defined by the infinitely divisible logarithmic series distribution. We study here the transition probability and Lévy measure of this process. We also define two subordinated processes. The first one, $Y(t)$, is a Negative-Binomial process $X(t)$ directed by Gamma process. The second process, $Z(t)$, is a Logarithmic Lévy process $L(t)$ directed by Poisson process. For them, we prove that the Bernstein functions of the processes $L(t)$ and $Y(t)$ contain the iterated logarithmic function. In addition, the Lévy measure of the subordinated process $Z(t)$ is a shifted Lévy measure of the Negative-Binomial process $X(t)$. We compare the properties of these processes, knowing that the total masses of corresponding Lévy measures are equal.

The term moderate deviations is often used in the literature to mean a class of large deviation principles that, in some sense, fills the gap between a convergence in probability to zero (governed by a large deviation principle) and a weak convergence to a centered Normal distribution. The notion of noncentral moderate deviations is used when the weak convergence is towards a non-Gaussian distribution. In this paper, noncentral moderate deviation results are presented for two fractional Skellam processes known in the literature (see [20]). It is established that, for the fractional Skellam process of type 2 (for which one can refer to the recent results for compound fractional Poisson processes in [3]), the convergences to zero are usually faster because one can prove suitable inequalities between rate functions.
