On the Occupation Time of Brownian Excursion

Gerard Hooghiemstra, Technical University Delft


Abstract
Recently, Kalvin M. Jansons derived in an elegant way the Laplace transform of the time spent by an excursion above a given level $a>0$. This result can also be derived from previous work of the author on the occupation time of the excursion in the interval $(a,a+b]$, by sending $b to infty$. Several alternative derivations areincluded.
