Abstract
We explicitly construct so-called captive jump processes. These are
stochastic processes in continuous time, whose dynamics are confined by a
time-inhomogeneous bounded domain. The drift and volatility of the captive
processes depend on the domain's boundaries which in turn restricts the state
space of the process. We show how an insurmountable shell may contain the
captive jump process while the process may jump within the restricted domain.
In a further development, we also show how - within a confined domain - inner
time-dependent corridors can be introduced, which a captive jump process may
leave only if the jumps reach far enough, while nonetheless being unable to
ever penetrate the outer confining shell. Captive jump processes generalize the
recently developed captive diffusion processes. In the case where a captive
jump-diffusion is a continuous martingale or a pure-jump process, the uppermost
confining boundary is non-decreasing, and the lowermost confining boundary is
non-increasing. Captive jump processes could be considered to model phenomena
such as electrons transitioning from one orbit (valence shell) to another, and
quantum tunneling where stochastic wave-functions can "penetrate" boundaries
(i.e., walls) of potential energy. We provide concrete, worked-out examples and
simulations of the dynamics of captive jump processes in a geometry with
circular boundaries, for demonstration.
