SOME REMARKS ON THE MAXIMUM OF A ONE-DIMENSIONAL DIFFUSION PROCESS

Mario Abundo

Abstract: For a certain class of one-dimensional diffusions $X(t),$ we study the distribution of $\max _ (t \in [0,T]) X(t)$ and the distribution of the first instant at which $X(t)$ attains the maximum by reducing $X(t)$ to Brownian motion. Moreover, for $T$ fixed or random, we study the asymptotics of threshold crossing probability, i.e. the rate of decay of $P\Big (\max _(s \in [0,T]) X(s) > z \Big )$ as $z$ goes to infinity. Some examples are also reported.
