A convergent series representation for the density of the supremum of a stable process

Abstract

We study the density of the supremum of a strictly stable Levy process. We prove that for almost all values of the index $\alpha$ - except for a dense set of Lebesgue measure zero - the asymptotic series which were obtained in Kuznetsov (2010) "On extrema of stable processes" are in fact absolutely convergent series representations for the density of the supremum.
