Abstract

We investigate the distributional properties of two generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) processes whose stationary distributions are the gamma law and the bilateral gamma law, respectively. The said distributions turn out to be related to the self-decomposable gamma and bilateral gamma laws, and their densities and characteristic functions are here given in closed-form. Algorithms for the exact generation of such processes are accordingly derived with the advantage of being significantly faster than those available in the literature and therefore suitable for real-time simulations.
