No barrier dividends at any finite time when the first upper passage is infinite

If the strict upward first-passage clock of the Lévy process never becomes finite, the process never exceeds the barrier threshold at any finite time. The established below-threshold barrier strategy lemma therefore forces the cumulative dividends to vanish at every time. This supplies the infinite-passage branch of the strong-Markov barrier dividend valuation.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
