Procesos de Levy
Motivated by a classical control problem from actuarial mathematics, we study smoothness and convexity properties of q -scale functions for spectrally negative Levy processes. Continuing from the very recent work of [2] and [24] we strengthen their collective conclusions by showing, amongst other results, that whenever the Levy mea- sure has a non-increasing density which is log convex then for q > 0 the scale function W ( q ) is convex on some half line ( a ; 1 ) where a is the largest value at which W ( q ) 0 attains its global minimum. As a consequence we deduce that de Finetti's classical actuarial control problem is solved by a barrier strategy where the barrier is positioned at height.
