Abstract

Let τD(Z)\tau_{D}(Z) is the first exit time of iterated Brownian motion from a domain D\RRRnD \subset \RR{R}^{n} started at zDz\in D and let Pz[τD(Z)>t]P_{z}[\tau_{D}(Z) >t] be its distribution. In this paper we establish the exact asymptotics of Pz[τD(Z)>t]P_{z}[\tau_{D}(Z) >t] over bounded domains as an extension of the result in DeBlassie \cite{deblassie}, for zDz\in D Pz[τD(Z)>t]t1/2exp(3/2π2/3λD2/3t1/3),ast. P_{z}[\tau_{D}(Z)>t]\approx t^{1/2} \exp(-{3/2}\pi^{2/3}\lambda_{D}^{2/3}t^{1/3}), as t\to\infty . We also study asymptotics of the life time of Brownian-time Brownian motion (BTBM), Zt1=z+X(Y(t))Z^{1}_{t}=z+X(Y(t)), where XtX_{t} and YtY_{t} are independent one-dimensional Brownian motions.
