Joint distribution of the process and its sojourn time on the positive half-line for pseudo-processes governed by high-order heat equation

Abstract
Consider the high-order heat-type equation ∂ u/∂ t=± ∂N u/∂ xN for an integer N>2 and introduce the related Markov pseudo-process (X(t))t≥ 0. In this paper, we study the sojourn time T(t) in the interval [0,+∞) up to a fixed time t for this pseudo-process. We provide explicit expressions for the joint distribution of the couple (T(t),X(t)).
