Some results on Bessel processes (Q1068459)

The author presents necessary and sufficient conditions characterizing the domain of the potential operator of a reflecting Bessel process of index \(\alpha\), and a sufficient condition in the absorbing case. The moment of the hitting time of level r is computed in a unified way for both the reflecting and transient cases. He gives the equilibrium measures, capacities and equilibrium potentials of the intervals [0,r] and [r,\(\infty]\), respectively, for the reflecting ad absorbing cases.
