Let m > be given and define f(t) = { m. t m t πt exp According to (3.7.3) in Theorem 3.7.1, f(t) is the density of the first passage time τ m = min{t ; W (t) = m, where W is a Brownian motion without drift. Let g(α) = e αt f(t) dt, α >, be the Laplace transform of the density f(t). This problem verifies directly, without resort to the probabilistic arguments of this chapter, that g(α) = e m α, α >, which is the formula derived in Theorem (i) For positive numbers a and b, define I(a, b) = exp { a x b dx. Make the change of variable y = b/(ax) to show that I(a, b) = b 1 { a a y exp y b y = b 1 { a a x exp x b x x dy dx.
