Abstract:

Let equ1be a smooth function onequ2, and equ3a standard Brownian motion. This paper derives expressions for the distributions of the variables equ4and equ5, where equ6is given. The present formulas contain an expected value of a Brownian functional. It is seen that this can be computed, principally, using Feynman-Kac's formula. Further, the paper discusses in the present framework the familiar examples with linear and square root boundaries. Moreover the approach provides in some extent explicit solutions for the second-order boundaries.
