In this paper we study the exponential integral functionals of X, namely, the functionals of the form I s,t = t s exp(--X u)du, 0 $\\le$ s < t $\\le$ $\\infty$. Our main interest is focused on the moments of I s,t of order $\\alpha$ $\\ge$ 0. In the case when the Laplace exponent of X t is explicitly known, we derive a recursive (in $\\alpha$) integral equation for the moments. This yields a multiple integral formula for the entire positive moments of I s,t. From these results emerges an easy-to-apply sufficient condition for the finiteness of all the entire moments of I $\\infty$ := I 0,$\\infty$. The corresponding formulas for L{\\'e}vy processes are also presented. As examples we discuss the finiteness of the moments of I $\\infty$ when X is the first hit process associated with a diffusion. In particular, we discuss the exponential functionals related with Bessel processes and geometric Brownian motions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-03-13T14:57:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "exponential functionals", "additive process", "exponential integral functionals", "first hit process", "multiple integral formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
