Abstract

For spectrally negative Lévy process (SNLP), we find an expression, in terms of scale functions, for a potential measure involving the maximum and the last time of reaching the maximum up to a draw-down time. As applications, we obtain a potential measure for the reflected SNLP and recover a joint Laplace transform for the Wiener-Hopf factorization for SNLP.
