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)(T) covered by the process in the time interval [0,T]. The Laplace transform of(T) follows as a consequence. The main proof involves a double Laplace transform of(T) and is based on excursion theory and local time for Brownian motion.

This paper is about the probability law of the integral of geometric Brownian motion over a finite time interval. A partial differential equation is derived for the Laplace transform of the law of the reciprocal integral, and is shown to yield an expression for the density of the distribution. This expression has some advantages over the ones obtained previously, at least when the normalized drift of the Brownian motion is a non-negative integer. Bougerol's identity and a relationship between Brownian motions with opposite drifts may also be seen to be special cases of these results.

In this paper, we study the first instant when Brownian motion either spends consecutively more than a certain time above a certain level, or reaches another level. This stopping time generalizes the ‘Parisian’ stopping times that were introduced by Chesneyet al.(1997). Using excursion theory, we derive the Laplace transform of this stopping time. We apply this result to the valuation of investment projects with a delay constraint, but with an alternative: pay a higher cost and get the project started immediately

We consider a Brownian motion with negative drift in the quarter plane with orthogonal reflection on the axes. The Laplace transform of its stationary distribution satisfies a functional equation, which is reminiscent from equations arising in the enumeration of (discrete) quadrant walks. We develop a Tutte’s invariant approach to this continuous setting, and we obtain an explicit formula for the Laplace transform in terms of generalized Chebyshev polynomials.

We consider surface measures on the set of trajectories in a smooth compact Riemannian submanifold of Euclidean space generated by diffusion processes in the ambient space. A construction of surface measures on the path space of a smooth compact Riemannian submanifold of Euclidean space was introduced by Smolyanov and Weizsäcker for the case of the standard Brownian motion. The result presented in this paper extends the result of Smolyanov and Weizsäcker to the case when we consider measures generated by diffusion processes in the ambient space with nonidentical correlation operators. For every partition of the time interval, we consider the marginal distribution of the diffusion process in the ambient space under the condition that it visits the manifold at all times of the partition, when the mesh of the partition tends to zero. We prove the existence of some limit surface measures and the equivalence of the above measures to the distribution of some diffusion process on the manifold.

The paper proves the regularity of the double Laplace transform in the neighborhood of zero. The class of the transform of Laplace from the transform of Fourier is considered from the functions without a regularity in null.

In this paper we study the excursion time of a Brownian motion with drift outside a corridor by using a four-state semi-Markov model. In mathematical finance, these results have an important application in the valuation of double-barrier Parisian options. We subsequently obtain an explicit expression for the Laplace transform of its price.

In this paper, we study the joint Laplace transform of the sticky Brownian motion on an interval, its occupation time at zero and its integrated process. The perturbation approach of Li and Zhou [The joint Laplace transforms for diffusion occupation times, Adv. Appl. Probab. 45 (2013) 1049–1067] is adopted to convert the problem into the computation of three Laplace transforms, which is essentially equivalent to solving the associated differential equations with boundary conditions. We obtain the explicit expression for the joint Laplace transform in terms of the modified Bessel function and Airy functions.

Drawdowns measuring the decline in value from the historical running maxima over a given period of time are considered as extremal events from the standpoint of risk management. To date, research on the topic has mainly focused on the side of severity by studying the first drawdown over a certain prespecified size. In this paper we extend the discussion by investigating the frequency of drawdowns and some of their inherent characteristics. We consider two types of drawdown time sequences depending on whether a historical running maximum is reset or not. For each type we study the frequency rate of drawdowns, the Laplace transform of the nth drawdown time, the distribution of the running maximum, and the value process at the nth drawdown time, as well as some other quantities of interest. Interesting relationships between these two drawdown time sequences are also established. Finally, insurance policies protecting against the risk of frequent drawdowns are also proposed and priced.
