Variance Gamma (nonlocal) equations

Abstract

Some equations are provided for the Variance Gamma process using the definition other than that based on a time-changed Brownian motion. A new nonlocal equation is obtained involving generalized Weyl derivatives, which is true even in the drifted case. The connection to special functions is in focus, and a space equation for the process is studied. In conclusion, the convergence in distribution of a compound Poisson process to the Variance Gamma process is observed.
