Skellam Type Processes of Order K and Beyond

Abstract

In this article, we introduce Skellam process of order k and its running average. We also discuss the time-changed Skellam process of order k. In particular we discuss space-fractional Skellam process and tempered space-fractional Skellam process via time changes in Poisson process by independent stable subordinator and tempered stable subordinator, respectively. We derive the marginal probabilities, Levy measures, governing difference-differential equations of the introduced processes. Our results generalize Skellam process and running average of Poisson process in several directions.
