Stability Properties of Constrained Jump-Diffusion Processes

Abstract
We consider a class of jump-diffusion processes, constrained to a polyhedral cone G of Rn, where the constraint vector field is constant on each face of the boundary. The constraining mechanism corrects for ``attempts'' of the process to jump outside the domain. Under Lipschitz continuity of the Skorohod map Gamma, it is known that there is a cone C such that the image Gamma phi of a deterministic linear trajectory phi remains bounded if and only if dot{phi}in C. Denoting the generator of a corresponding unconstrained jump-diffusion by L, we show that a key condition for the process to admit an invariant probability measure is that for all x in G, L id (x) belongs to a compact subset of Co.
