For a one-dimensional super-Brownian motion with density $X(t,x)$, we construct a random measure $L_t$ called the boundary local time which is supported on $\partial \{x:X(t,x) = 0\} =: BZ_t$, thus confirming a conjecture of Mueller, Mytnik…

Let $W$ be a one-dimensional Brownian motion starting from 0. Define $Y(t)= \int_0^t{\d s \over W(s)} := \lim_{\epsilon\to0} \int_0^t 1_{(|W(s)|> \epsilon)} {\d s \over W(s)} $ as Cauchy's principal value related to local time. We prove…

The distribution of the first hitting time of a disc for the standard two dimensional Brownian motion is computed. By investigating the inversion integral of its Laplace transform we give fairy detailed asymptotic estimates of its density…

We show that local times of super-Brownian motion, or of Brownian motion indexed by the Brownian tree, satisfy an explicit stochastic differential equation. Our proofs rely on both excursion theory for the Brownian snake and tools from the…

In this paper, we study the existence and (H\"older) regularity of local times of stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motions. In particular, we show that in one dimension and in the rough case H<1/2, the…

In this paper we investigate the class of grey Brownian motions $B_{\alpha,\beta}$ ($0<\alpha<2$, $0<\beta\leq1$). We show that grey Brownian motion admits different representations in terms of certain known processes, such as fractional…

For the local time $L_t^x$ of super-Brownian motion $X$ starting from $\delta_0$, we study its asymptotic behavior as $x\to 0$. In $d=3$, we find a normalization $\psi(x)=(1/(2\pi^2) \log (1/|x|))^{1/2}$ such that…

A simple random walk and a Brownian motion are considered on a spider that is a collection of half lines (we call them legs) joined in the origin. We give a strong approximation of these two objects and their local times. For fixed number…

In this paper, we study the notion of local time and Tanaka formula for the G-Brownian motion. Moreover, the joint continuity of the local time of the G-Brownian motion is obtained and its quadratic variation is proven. As an application,…

In this paper, following earlier results in [2] we derive the asymptotic distribution as $t \to \infty$, of the excursion of Brownian motion straddling $t$, into an interval $(a,b)$, conditional on the event that there is such an excursion.

In this article we study a problem related to the first passage and inverse first passage time problems for Brownian motions originally formulated by Jackson, Kreinin and Zhang (2009). Specifically, define $\tau_X = \inf\{t>0:W_t + X \le…

It is well known (Donsker's Invariance Principle) that the random walk converges to Brownian motion by scaling. In this paper, we will prove that the scaled local time of the $(1,L)-$random walk converges to that of the Brownian motion. The…

In this paper we study the integral of the supremum process of standard Brownian motion. We present an explicit formula for the moments of the integral (or area) A(T), covered by the process in the time interval [0,T]. The Laplace transform…

Random walks in random scenery are processes defined by $Z_n:=\sum_{k=1}^n\xi_{X_1+...+X_k}$, where basically $(X_k,k\ge 1)$ and $(\xi_y,y\in\mathbb Z)$ are two independent sequences of i.i.d. random variables. We assume here that $X_1$ is…

Through a regularization procedure, few approximation schemes of the local time of a large class of one dimensional processes are given. We mainly consider the local time of continuous semimartingales and reversible diffusions, and the…
