Hitting Probabilities of Finite Points for One-Dimensional L\'{e}vy Processes

Abstract

For a one-dimensional L\'{e}vy process, we derive an explicit formula for the probability of first hitting a specified point among a fixed finite set. Moreover, using this formula, we obtain an explicit expression for each entry of the $Q$-matrix of the trace process on the finite set. These formulas involve solely the renormalized zero resolvent.
