Asymptotic representations for characteristics of exit from an interval for stochastic processes with independent increments (Q1972643)

Let \(\xi(t)\), \(t\geq 0\), be a homogeneous process with independent increments, \(\xi(0)=0\), and \(T=T(a,b)= \inf\{t>0: \xi(t)<-1\) or \(\xi(t) >b\}\), \(a\geq 0\), \(b>0\). Let \(\eta(t)\) be the stochastic process with delay at the lower boundary, \(\eta(t)= \xi(t)- a-\min\{- a,\inf_{s\leq t}\xi (s)\}\), and let \(\theta= \inf\{t>0: \eta(t) >b\}\). The asymptotic expansions are presented for \(\mathbb{E} T\), \(\mathbb{E}\theta\), \(\mathbb{P}\{\xi (T)>b+x\}\), and \(\mathbb{P} \{\xi (t)<- a-x\}\), as \(b\to\infty\). The results are formulated in terms of the factorization components. For related results, see the articles by \textit{V. I. Lotov} [Theory Probab.
