Hitting Time - Examples

Examples

  • Any stopping time is a hitting time for a properly chosen process and target set. This follows from the converse of the Début theorem (Fischer, 2013).
  • Let B denote standard Brownian motion on the real line R starting at the origin. Then the hitting time τA satisfies the measurability requirements to be a stopping time for every Borel measurable set AR.
  • For B as above, let denote the first exit time for the interval (−r, r), i.e. the first hit time for (−∞, −r] ∪ [r, +∞). Then the expected value and variance of satisfy
  • For B as above, the time of hitting a single point (different from the starting point 0) has the Lévy distribution.

    Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
