On Decomposition of the Last Passage Time of Diffusions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For a regular transient diffusion, we provide a decomposition of its last passage time to a certain state alpha. This is accomplished by transforming the original diffusion into two diffusions using the occupation time of the area above and below alpha. Based on these two processes, the decomposition formula of the Laplace transform of the last passage time is derived explicitly in a simple form in terms of Green functions. This formula may be used for further investigations of diffusions with switching parameters. As one example, we demonstrate an application to a diffusion with two-valued drift.
