Abstract/Summary

This work looks at the box-counting dimension of sets related to subordinators (non-decreasing Lévy processes). It was recently shown in Savov (Electron Commun Probab 19:1–10, 2014) that almost surely limδ→0U(δ)N(t,δ)=t , where N(t,δ) is the minimal number of boxes of size at most δ needed to cover a subordinator’s range up to time t, and U(δ) is the subordinator’s renewal function. Our main result is a central limit theorem (CLT) for N(t,δ) , complementing and refining work in Savov (2014). Box-counting dimension is defined in terms of N(t,δ) , but for subordinators we prove that it can also be defined using a new process obtained by shortening the original subordinator’s jumps of size greater than δ . This new process can be manipulated with remarkable ease in comparison with N(t,δ) , and allows better understanding of the box-counting dimension of a subordinator’s range in terms of its Lévy measure, improving upon Savov (2014, Corollary 1). Further, we shall prove corresponding CLT and almost sure convergence results for the new process.
