Abstract

A semi-Lévy process is an additive process with periodically stationary increments. In particular, it is a generalization of a Lévy process. The dichotomy of recurrence and transience of Lévy processes is well known, but this is not necessarily true for general additive processes. In this paper, we prove the recurrence and transience dichotomy of semi-Lévy processes. For the proof, we introduce a concept of semi-random walk and discuss its recurrence and transience properties. An example of semi-Lévy process constructed from two independent Lévy processes is investigated. Finally, we prove the laws of large numbers for semi-Lévy processes.
