Hitting, occupation, and inverse local times of one-dimensional di usions: martingale and excursion approaches
نویسندگان
چکیده
Basic relations between the distributions of hitting, occupation, and inverse local times of a one-dimensional di usion process X , rst discussed by Itô-McKean, are reviewed from the perspectives of martingale calculus and excursion theory. These relations, and the technique of conditioning on L y T , the local time of X at level y before a suitable random time T , yield formulae for the joint Laplace transform of L y T and the times spent by X above and below level y up to time T .

متن کاملProbabilistic approximation for a porous medium equation
In this paper, we are interested in the one-dimensional porous medium equation when the initial condition is the distribution function of a probability measure. We associate a nonlinear martingale problem with it. After proving uniqueness for the martingale problem, we show existence owing to a propagation of chaos result for a system of weakly interacting di usion processes. The particle syste...
متن کاملOn the laws of first hitting times of points for one-dimensional symmetric stable Lévy processes
Several aspects of the laws of first hitting times of points are investigated for one-dimensional symmetric stable Lévy processes. Itô’s excursion theory plays a key role in this study.
متن کاملHitting half-spaces by Bessel-Brownian di usions
The purpose of the paper is to nd explicit formulas describing the joint distributions of the rst hitting time and place for half-spaces of codimension one for a di usion in R, composed of onedimensional Bessel process and independent n-dimensional Brownian motion. The most important argument is carried out for the two-dimensional situation. We show that this amounts to computation of distribut...
متن کاملThe Sde Solved by Local times of a Brownian Excursion or Bridge Derived from the Height Proole of a Random Tree or Forest
Let B be a standard one-dimensional Brownian motion started at 0. Let Lt;v (jBj) be the occupation density of jBj at level v up to time t. The distribution of the process of local times (Lt;v(jBj);v 0) conditionally given Bt = 0 and Lt;0(jBj) = ` is shown to be that of the unique strong solution X of the It^ o SDE
