L_1-distance for additive processes with time-homogeneous L\'evy measures

Abstract

We give an explicit bound for the $L_1$-distance between two additive processes of local characteristics $(f_j(\cdot),\sigma^2(\cdot),\nu_j)$, $j = 1,2$. The cases $\sigma =0$ and $\sigma > 0$ are both treated. We allow $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$ to be equivalent time-homogeneous L\'evy measures, possibly with infinite variation. Some examples of possible applications are discussed.
