Time change approach to generalized excursion measures, and its application to limit theorems

Probability 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

It is proved that generalized excursion measures can be constructed via time change of Ito's Brownian excursion measure. A tightness-like condition on strings is introduced to prove a convergence theorem of generalized excursion measures. The convergence theorem is applied to obtain a conditional limit theorem, a kind of invariance principle where the limit is the Bessel meander.
