On a first hit distribution of the running maximum of Brownian motion

Probability 2021-03-17 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

Let (St)t0(S_t)_{t\geq 0} be the running maximum of a standard Brownian motion (Bt)t0(B_t)_{t\geq 0} and Tm:=inf{t;mSt<t},m>0T_m:=\inf\{t; \, mS_t<t\},\, m>0. In this note we calculate the joint distribution of TmT_m and BTmB_{T_m}. The motivation for our work comes from a mathematical model for animal foraging. We also present results for Brownian motion with drift.
