Résumé: Consider a completely asymmetric Lévy process which has absolutely continuous probabilities. By harmonic transform, we establish the existence of the Lévy process conditioned to stay in a finite interval, called the confined process (the confined Brownian motion is F.B.Knight's Brownian taboo process). We show that the confined process is posive-recurrent and specify some useful identities concerning its excursion measure away from a point. We investigate the rate of convergence of the supremum process to the right-end point of the interval.

Mots Clés: Lévy process; completely asymmetric; conditional law; $h$-transform; excursion measure
