ε-strong simulation of the convex minorants of stable processes and meanders
share
Using marked Dirichlet processes we characterise the law of the convex minorant of the meander for a certain class of Lévy processes, which includes subordinated stable and symmetric Lévy processes. We apply this characterisaiton to construct ε-strong simulation (εSS) algorithms for the convex minorant of stable meanders, the finite dimensional distributions of stable meanders and the convex minorants of weakly stable processes. We prove that the running times of our εSS algorithms have finite exponential moments. We implement the algorithms in Julia 1.0 (available on GitHub) and present numerical examples supporting our convergence results.
