We define extrema processes Mt = sup{Xs : s ≤ t} andNt = inf{Xs : s ≤ t}, introduce an exponential random variableτ = τ(q) with parameter q > 0, which is independent of the processXt, and use the following notation for characteristic functions of Mτ ,Nτ :

WH for Brownian motion with drift
Let Xt = Wt + µt. Then Ψ(z) = z2
2 − iµz and Ψ(z) + q = 0 has twosolutions
z1,2 = i(µ±√µ2 + 2q)
Thus function q(Ψ(z) + q)−1 can be factorized as
q
Ψ(z) + q=

2 − iµz + q
=µ+

WH for Brownian motion with drift
The main idea: since the random variable Mτ [Nτ ] is positive[negative], its characteristic function must be analytic and have nozeros in C+ [C−], where
C+ = {z ∈ C : Im(z) > 0}, C− = {z ∈ C : Im(z) < 0}, C± = C± ∪ R.
Thus
φ+q (z) =
µ−√µ2 + 2q
iz + µ−√µ2 + 2q
and Mτ is an exponential random variable with parameter√µ2 + 2q − µ.

Kou model: double exponential jump diffusion model
Xt is a Levy process with jumps defined by
ν(x) = a1e−b1xI{x>0} + a2e
b2xI{x<0}
Then the characteristic exponent is
Ψ(z) =σ2z2
2− iµz − a1
b1 − iz− a2
b2 + iz+a1
b1+a2

Thus equation Ψ(z) + q = 0 is a fourth degree polynomial equation,and we have explicit solutions and exact WH factorization.

DefinitionThe distribution of the first passage time of the finite state continuoustime Markov chain is called phase-type distribution.

N∑k=1

where bi are eigenvalues of the Markov generator L. Thus if Xt hasphase-type jumps, its characteristic exponent Ψ(z) is a rationalfunction, and Ψ(z) + q = 0 is reduced to a polynomial equation, andthe Wiener-Hopf factors are given in closed form (in terms of roots ofthis polynomial equation).
