Abstract: In this paper we introduce a general stochastic representation for an important class of processes with resetting. It allows to describe any stochastic process intermittently terminated and restarted from a predefined random or nonrandom point. Our approach is based on stochastic differential equations called jump-diffusion models. It allows to analyze processes with resetting both, analytically and using Monte Carlo simulation methods. To depict the strength of our approach, we derive a number of fundamental properties of Brownian motion with Poissonian resetting, such as the Itô lemma, the moment-generating function, the characteristic function, the explicit form of the probability density function, moments of all orders, various forms of the Fokker-Planck equation, infinitesimal generator of the process, and its adjoint operator. Additionally, we extend the above results to the case of time-nonhomogeneous Poissonian resetting. This way we build a general framework for the analysis of any stochastic process with intermittent random resetting.
