Compound Poisson transition law of a driftless square-root diffusion
ID: compound-poisson-transition-law-of-a-driftless-square-root-diffusion
The elapsed-time transition distribution of a driftless square-root diffusion starting at is the compound Poisson distributionwhere all variables on the right are independent and the empty sum is zero. Here the exponential distribution parameter is its rate. The Laplace transform of this sum iswhich is the Laplace transform of the driftless square-root diffusion; uniqueness of the Laplace transform proves the distributional identity. In particular, for , the exponential moment isFor this exponential moment is infinite when , since the event has positive probability and one exponential jump already has an infinite moment there. At the process remains zero and every such moment is one.
