Abstract

Let J(⋅) be a compound Poisson process with rate λ>0 and a jumps distribution G(⋅) concentrated on (0,∞). In addition, let V be a random variable which is distributed according to G(⋅) and independent from J(⋅). Define a new process W(t)≡WV(t)≡V+J(t)−t, t⩾0 and let τV be the first time that W(⋅) hits the origin. A long-standing open problem due to Iglehart (1971) and Cohen (1979) is to derive the moments of the functional ∫0τW(t)dt in terms of the moments of G(⋅) and λ. In the current work, we solve this problem in much greater generality, i.e., first by letting J(⋅) belong to a wide class of spectrally positive Lévy processes and secondly, by considering more general class of functionals. We also supply several applications of the existing results, e.g., in studying the process x↦∫0τxWx(t)dt defined on x∈[0,∞).
