Abstract

Let τ(x) be the epoch of first entry into the interval (x,∞), x>0, of the reflected process Y of a Lévy process X, and define the overshoot Z(x) = Y(τ(x))-x and undershoot z(x) = x - Y(τ(x)-) of Y at the first-passage time over the level x. In this paper we establish, separately under the Cramér and positive drift assumptions, the existence of the weak limit of (z(x), Z(x)) as x tends to infinity and provide explicit formulae for their joint CDFs in terms of the Lévy measure of X and the renewal measure of the dual of X. We apply our results to analyse the behaviour of the classical M/G/1 queueing system at the buffer-overflow, both in a stable and unstable case.
