We give criteria for the finiteness or infiniteness of the passage-time moments for continuous non-negative stochastic processes in terms of sub/supermartingale inequalities for powers of these processes. We apply these results to one-dimensional diffusions and also reflected Brownian motion in a wedge. The discrete-time analogue of this problem was studied previously by Lamperti and more recently by Aspandiiarov, Iasnogorodski and Menshikov [2]. Our results are continuous analogues of those in [2], but our proofs are direct and do not rely on approximation by discrete-time processes.

A shift-periodic map is a one-dimensional map from the real line to itself which is periodic up to a linear translation and allowed to have singularities. It is shown that iterative sequences x n +1 = F ( x n ) generated by such maps display rich dynamical behaviour. The integer parts ⌊ x n ⌋ give a discrete-time random walk for a suitable initial distribution of x 0 and converge in certain limits to Brownian motion or more general Lévy processes. Furthermore, for certain shift-periodic maps with small holes on [0,1], convergence of trajectories to a continuous-time random walk is shown in a limit.

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.

The ‘rendezvous time’ of two stochastic processes is the first time at which they cross or hit each other. We consider such times for a Brownian motion with drift, starting at some positive level, and a compound Poisson process or a process with one random jump at some random time. We also ask whether a rendezvous takes place before the Brownian motion hits zero and, if so, at what time. These questions are answered in terms of Laplace transforms for the underlying distributions. The analogous problem for reflected Brownian motion is also studied.

AbstractReflected Brownian motion is used in areas such as physiology, electrochemistry and nuclear magnetic resonance. We study the first-passage-time problem of this process which is relevant in applications; specifically, we find a Volterra integral equation for the distribution of the first time that a reflected Brownian motion reaches a nondecreasing barrier. Additionally, we note how a numerical procedure can be used to solve the integral equation.

We review the basics of fractal calculus, define fractal Fourier transformation on thin Cantor-like sets and introduce fractal versions of Brownian motion and fractional Brownian motion. Fractional Brownian motion on thin Cantor-like sets is defined with the use of non-local fractal derivatives. The fractal Hurst exponent is suggested, and its relation with the order of non-local fractal derivatives is established. We relate the Gangal fractal derivative defined on a one-dimensional stochastic fractal to the fractional derivative after an averaging procedure over the ensemble of random realizations. That means the fractal derivative is the progenitor of the fractional derivative, which arises if we deal with a certain stochastic fractal.

In this paper, we prove a moderate deviation principle for the multivalued stochastic differential equations whose proof are based on recently well-developed weak convergence approach. As an application, we obtain the moderate deviation principle for reflected Brownian motion.
