Abstract

In recent years several techniques for simulating purely discontinuous Lévy processes have been developed. Due to the "infinite activity" character of most Lévy processes the achievement of satisfactory approximations is not a trivial issue. By means of two examples, one related to an optimal storage problem and the other to Bayesian nonparametric inference, the behavior of the so-called inverse Lévy measure algorithm is studied. Some hints for overcoming possible difficulties are given.
