140 CHAPTER 4. DEPENDENCE OF LEVY PROCESSES<br />

Now from the uniqu<strong>en</strong>ess of Lévy-Khintchine repres<strong>en</strong>tation we conclu<strong>de</strong> that ˜ν is the Lévy<br />

measure of X.<br />

The compl<strong>et</strong>e <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>nce of Lévy processes is a new notion that is worth being discussed<br />

in <strong>de</strong>tail. First, the following <strong>de</strong>finition is in or<strong>de</strong>r.<br />

Definition 4.2. A subs<strong>et</strong> S of R d is called or<strong>de</strong>red if, for any two vectors v, u ∈ S, either<br />

v k ≤ u k , k = 1, . . . , d or v k ≥ u k , k = 1, . . . , d. S is called strictly or<strong>de</strong>red if, for any two<br />

differ<strong>en</strong>t vectors v, u ∈ S, either v k < u k , k = 1, . . . , d or v k > u k , k = 1, . . . , d.<br />

We recall that random variables Y 1 , . . . , Y d are said to be compl<strong>et</strong>ely <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>nt or comonotonic<br />

if there exists a strictly or<strong>de</strong>red s<strong>et</strong> S ⊂ R d such that (Y 1 , . . . , Y d ) ∈ S with probability 1.<br />

However, saying that the compon<strong>en</strong>ts of a Lévy process are compl<strong>et</strong>ely <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>nt only if they<br />

are compl<strong>et</strong>ely <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>nt for every fixed time is too restrictive; the compon<strong>en</strong>ts of a Lévy process<br />

can be compl<strong>et</strong>ely <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>nt as processes without being compl<strong>et</strong>ely <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>nt as random<br />

variables for every fixed time. The following example clarifies this point.<br />

Example 4.2 (Dynamic compl<strong>et</strong>e <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>nce for Lévy processes). L<strong>et</strong> {X t } t≥0 be a Lévy process<br />

with characteristic tripl<strong>et</strong> (A, ν, γ) such that A = 0 and γ = 0 and l<strong>et</strong> {Y t } t≥0 be a Lévy process,<br />

constructed from the jumps of X: Y t = ∑ s≤t ∆X3 s . From the dynamic point of view X and Y<br />

are compl<strong>et</strong>ely <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>nt, because the trajectory of any one of them can be reconstructed from<br />

the trajectory of the other. However, the copula of X t and Y t is not that of compl<strong>et</strong>e <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>nce<br />

because Y t is not a <strong>de</strong>terministic function of X t . In<strong>de</strong>ed, if X is a compound Poisson process<br />

having jumps of size 1 and 2 and X t = 3 for some t, this may either mean that X has three<br />

jumps of size 1 in the interval [0, t], and th<strong>en</strong> Y t = 3, or that X has one jump of size 1 and one<br />

jump of size 2, and th<strong>en</strong> Y t = 9.<br />

This example motivates the following <strong>de</strong>finition. In this <strong>de</strong>finition and below,<br />

K := {x ∈ R d : sgn x 1 = · · · = sgn x d }. (4.3)<br />

Definition 4.3. L<strong>et</strong> X be a R d -valued Lévy process. Its jumps are said to be compl<strong>et</strong>ely<br />

<strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>nt or comonotonic if there exists a strictly or<strong>de</strong>red subs<strong>et</strong> S ⊂ K such that ∆X t :=<br />

X t − X t− ∈ S, t ≥ 0 (except for a s<strong>et</strong> of paths having zero probability).
