Stationarity of Bivariate Dynamic Contagion Processes
  The Bivariate Dynamic Contagion Processes (BDCP) are a broad class of bivariate point processes characterized by the intensities as a general class of piecewise deterministic Markov processes. The BDCP describes a rich dynamic structure where the system is under the influence of both external and internal factors modelled by a shot-noise Cox process and a generalized Hawkes process respectively. In this paper we mainly address the stationarity issue for the BDCP, which is important in applications. We investigate the stationary distribution by applying the the Markov theory on the branching system approximation representation of the BDCP. We find the condition under which there exists a unique stationary distribution of the BDCP intensity and the resulting BDCP has stationary increments. Moments of the stationary intensity are provided by using the Markov property.
