On the Brownian first-passage time over a one-sided stochastic boundary

Abstract: Let B=(Bt)t0 be standard Brownian motion started at 0 under P, let St=max0\lr\ltBr be the maximum process associated with B, and let g:R+R be a (strictly) monotone continuous function satisfying g(s)<s for all s0. Let τ be the first-passage time of B over tg(St):
τ=inf{t>0Btg(St)}.
Let G be the function defined by
G(y)=exp(g1(y)0dssg(s))
for yR in the range of g. Then, if g is increasing, we have
limttP{τt}=2π(g(0)g()g(0)G(y)dy),
and this number is finite. Similarly, if g is decreasing, we have
limttP{τt}=2π(g(0)+g(0)g()G(y)dy}
and this number may be infinite. These results may be viewed as a stochastic boundary extension of some known results on the first-passage time over deterministic boundaries. The method of proof relies on the classical Tauberian theorem and certain extensions of the Novikov-Kazamaki criteria for exponential martingales.
Keywords: Brownian motion, the first-passage time, stochastic boundary, Novikov–Kazamaki criteria, Tauberian theorem, Girsanov measure change, local martingale, diffusion process.
