Abstract
Let X be a real-valued Levy process and A(t) the time spent on (0, inf inity) before time t. Suppose that 0 is not polar. We determine the di stribution of (T,A(T)) where T is the first return time to 0 in the ir regular case, and the inverse local time at 0 in the regular case. Thi s generalizes a recent result of Fitzsimmons and Getoor (1995). (C) 19 98 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
