A pursuit problem for squared Bessel processes

Probability 2025-08-12 v2

Abstract

In this note, we are interested in the probability that two independent squared Bessel processes do not cross for a long time. We show that this probability has a power decay which is given by the first zero of some hypergeometric function. We also compute along the way the distribution of the location where the crossing eventually occurs.
