Final version accepted for publication in Journal of Theoretical Probability", "doi": "10.1007/s10959-014-0549-9", "categories": [ "math.PR" ], "abstract": "Consider a sequence (Z_n,Z_n^M) of bivariate L\\'evy processes, such that Z_n is a spectrally positive L\\'evy process with finite variation, and Z_n^M is the counting process of marks in {0,1} carried by the jumps of Z_n. The study of these processes is justified by their interpretation as contour processes of a sequence of splitting trees with mutations at birth. Indeed, this paper is the first part of a work aiming to establish an invariance principle for the genealogies of such populations enriched with their mutational histories. To this aim, we define a bivariate subordinator that we call the marked ladder height process of (Z_n,Z_n^M), as a generalization of the classical ladder height process to our L\\'evy processes with marked jumps. Assuming that the sequence (Z_n) converges towards a L\\'evy process Z with infinite variation, we first prove the convergence in distribution, with two possible regimes for the marks, of the marked ladder height process of (Z_n,Z_n^M). Then we prove the joint convergence in law of Z_n with its local time at the supremum and its marked ladder height process.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-03-10T13:05:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F17", "60J55", "60G51" ], "keywords": [ "marked ladder height process", "marked jumps", "limit theorems", "lévy processes", "bivariate levy processes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1305.6245D" } } }
