The drawdown process of a one-dimensional regular diffusion processXis given byXreflected at its running maximum. The drawup process is given byXreflected at its running minimum. We calculate the probability that a drawdown precedes a drawup in an exponential time-horizon. We then study the law of the occupation times of the drawdown process and the drawup process. These results are applied to address problems in risk analysis and for option pricing of the drawdown process. Finally, we present examples of Brownian motion with drift and three-dimensional Bessel processes, where we prove an identity in law.

The drawdown process of a one-dimensional regular diffusion process X is given by X reflected at its running maximum. The drawup process is given by X reflected at its running minimum. We calculate the probability that a drawdown precedes a drawup in an exponential time-horizon. We then study the law of the occupation times of the drawdown process and the drawup process. These results are applied to address problems in risk analysis and for option pricing of the drawdown process. Finally, we present examples of Brownian motion with drift and three-dimensional Bessel processes, where we prove an identity in law.

Let be a one-dimensional Brownian motion with constant drift µ ∈ R starting from 0. In this paper we show thatgives rise to a diffusion process and we explain how this result may be considered as an extension of the celebrated Pitman’s 2M - X theorem. We also derive the infinitesimal generator and some properties of the diffusion process and, in particular, its relation to the generalized Bessel processes.

A direct derivation is given of a formula for the normalized asymptotic variance parameters of the boundary local times of reflected Brownian motion (with drift) on a compact interval. This formula was previously obtained by Berger and Whitt using an M/M/1/C queue approximation to the reflected Brownian motion. The bivariate Laplace transform of the hitting time of a level and the boundary local time up to that hitting time, for a one-dimensional reflected Brownian motion with drift, is obtained as part of the derivation.

This article deals with the Skorokhod embedding problem in bounded time for the Brownian motion with drift Xt = κt + Wt: Given a probability measure μ we aim at finding a stopping time τ such that the law of Xτ is μ, and τ is almost surely smaller than some given fixed time horizon T > 0. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions on the distribution μ for the existence of such bounded stopping times.

Let a particle start at some point in the unit interval I := [0, 1] and undergo Brownian motion in I until it hits one of the end points. At this instant the particle stays put for a finite holding time with an exponential distribution and then jumps back to a point inside I with a probability density μ0 or μ1 parametrized by the boundary point it was from. The process starts afresh. The same evolution repeats independently each time. Many probabilistic aspects of this diffusion process are investigated in the paper [10]. The authors in the cited paper call this process diffusion with holding and jumping (DHJ). Our simple aim in this paper is to analyze the eigenvalues of a nonlocal boundary problem arising from this process.

A simple path transformation is described which connects one-dimensional Brownian motion with the radial part of three-dimensional Brownian motion. This provides simple proofs of various path decompositions for these processes described by David Williams.
