2 Introduction Consider a one-dimensional diffusion process defined by dxt = bxtdt + dbt, X = a, where b is a Lipschitz-continuous function and Bt is a standard Brownian motion The generator, G, of the above diffusion is G = d dx + bx d dx, and the putative invariant density is x ρ x = exp budu If ρ L R, dx the boundary {, } is inaccessible We assume this in what follows The transition density p t x, y = PXt dy X = x/dy, satisfies p t x, y t = p t x, y byp t x, y, = G yp t x, y, limp t x, y = δ x y, t G y being the L adjoint of G y, and δ being the Dirac delta function The density of the diffusion ρ t y = ρ xp t x, ydx therefore satisfies Evidently, so ρ is the invariant density ρ t t = G yρ t y G y ρ y =, ρ y t =, Crucial in what follows is the operator identity for any well-behaved f Gf = ρ / Hρ / f, or G = ρ / Hρ / and G = ρ / Hρ /, 84
3 where H is the one dimensional Schrödinger operator with potential V = b + b, This follows because Hρ / d H = dx + V x, ie ρ / is the ground state of H For convenience, we will assume V C R, V bounded below together with V, V polynomially bounded with derivatives Excursion Theory The map s Xs is continuous and so {s > : Xs a} is an open subset of R Therefore, {s > : Xs a} can be decomposed into a countable union of open intervals upward downward excursion intervals Define and the local time at a L ± t = Leb{s [, t] : Xs a}, L a t = lim h h Leb{s [, t] : Xs a h/, a + h/} L a t has inverse γ a t, the time required to wait until L a equals t It can be seen that γ a t is a stopping time with Xγ a t = a Moreover, as is intuitively obvious, Jumps in γ a t = Excursions of X from a up to L a equals t Example Lévy [954] Lévy proved that for b, for each λ >, E a exp λγ a t = exp with Poisson-Lévy excursion measure ν a [s, = { t Equating powers of λ in the above, we conclude that is Poisson with } e λs dν a s, / s /, s > π s, t= Number of excursions of duration exceeding s up to L a equals t P s, t = N = exp tν a [s, tν a [s, N /N!, for N =,,,, and so the expected number of excursions of duration exceeding s per unit local time at a is ν a [s,, the Poisson-Lévy excursion measure 85
4 Example Hawkes and Truman [99] For the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process bx = kx, where k is a positive constant, the Hamiltonian is just H = d dx + k x k and ρ x = C exp kx This leads to { E exp λγ a t = exp t } e λs dν s, λ >, with ν [s, = k/ π / e ks / V + symm = upward downward We discuss generalisations of the above to upward and downward excursions Note that excursions can only be affected by values of bx for x a Therefore it is natural to define the symmetrised potential { V x, x > a, V a x, x < a with V symm being defined in a similar manner In an analogous manner we also define d H ± = dx + V symmx ± We now have the result due to Truman and Williams [99] Proposition Modulo the above assumptions E a exp λl ± γ a t = exp { t } e λs dν a ± s with Remarks ν a ± [t, = y a dy ρ/ y ρ / a exp th ± x, y x=a L ± γ a t are independent with L + γ a t + L γ a t = γ a t Jumps in L ± γ a t = upward downward excursions from a up to La equals t 3 ν a ± [s, is the expected number of local time at a upward downward excursions of duration exceeding s per unit 86
5 Proof Outline The proof uses the result of Lévy [954] E a exp λγ a t = exp t/ p λ a, a, where p λ x, y = e λs p s x, yds and p s, is the transition density We can deduce that p λ a, a = λ ρ x ρ a Ee λτxa dx, where τ x a = inf{s > : Xs = a X = x} Here the point is that for any point a intermediate to x and y p t x, y = Pτ x a dup t u a, y Since the right hand side is a convolutional product, taking Laplace transforms and letting y a gives Ee λτxa = p λ x, a/ p λ a, a Now multiply both sides by ρ x and integrate with respect to x using the fact that ρ is the invariant density to get the desired result for p λ Some elementary computation then leads to the result in Proposition 3 The Poisson-Lévy Excursion Measure for Small Noise upward We will now consider the downward excursions from the equilibrium point for the onedimensional time-homogeneous diffusion process with small noise, X t, where dx t = bx tdt + dbt Introducing the small noise term into the Truman-Williams Law seen in the previous section, we get: Proposition The expected number of per unit local time at is given by upward downward excursions from of duration exceeding s, ν ± [s, = ± y ρ y ρ exp sh± x, ydy, x= where ρ is the invariant density and H ± is the symmetrized Hamiltonian for V = b + b One should note the form of V, in particular the presence of as a multiplier of b This rather specific dependence originates from the Shrödinger operator mentioned earlier Consequently, we are unable to resort to the usual methods for resolving such a dependence We now give a result due to Davies and Truman Davies and Truman [98] 87
6 Proposition 3 Let X min be the minimising path for the classical action Az = t ż sds + t b zsds with z = x, zt = y [ Set AX min ] = Ax, y, t Then for the self-adjoint quantum mechanical Hamiltonian H = +V, where V = b + b C R and is convex where V = V + V C 4, bounded below with V β, then for each finite time t for t π/ β exp th x, y { Ax, y, t Ax, y, t = π exp + K + O } K is a rather complicated expression with many terms involving sums and products of b and its derivatives, V and its derivatives and the Feynman-Green function Gτ, σ of the Sturm- Liouville differential operator d V X dσ min τ with zero boundary conditions ie G, τ = Gt, τ =, and discontinuity of derivative across τ = σ of For a proof of this result see Davies and Truman [98] Henceforth, for simplicity we assume that b x is an even function of x so that ν + = ν Theorem Using the notation and assumptions of Proposition 3, the leading term of the Poisson-Lévy excursion measure, for excursions away from the position of stable equilibrium, where b =, and b is given by ν + [t, π { A with the action Ax, y, t = x= dy exp { y A exp x= A,, t b t b X min s ds }, ż sds + V zs ds, where V = b } A,, t Proof As usual, the classical path X min t = Xx, y, t satisfies, correct to first order in Ẍ min V X min + V X min For V = b assumed to be convex with V =, V =, and V >, for example V x = x, bx = x, and V = b, then to leading order Ẍmin = V X min The contribution to the action Ax, y, t = ż ds+ V zs ds from V is to leading order V X min sds = = 88 b X min sds b X min s ds,
7 introducing for convenience Therefore, from Proposition 3, exp th Ax, y, t Ax, y, t x, y π exp from V is and so, the contribution to term exp exp Ax,y,t b X min s ds, the Zero Point Energy term Therefore, we have using Proposition the leading order term in the Poisson-Lévy excursion measure, for upward excursions from stable equilibrium point given by ν + [t, π x= y dy exp budu [ t exp b X min s ds exp Ax, y, t A, ] Hence, for small, the leading order term is y ν + [t, π dy exp budu A, y, t [ A A t exp b X min s ] ds Comparing this to the Laplace Integral x= + O 3 I = b a e φx θx dx, where the main contribution comes from the asymptotic behaviour at points x i [a, b] with φ x i =, we can see that the main contribution to the integral in equation 3 comes from those yt, satisfying A, y, t by = If we expand φy = budu A, y, t in a Taylor series about yt, x = we get φy = φ + y yt, xφ + y yt, x φ + = φ + y yt, x φ + 89
8 Hence, ν + [s, π dy exp { A,, s + [ y ys, x budu A, y, s { t exp b X min s A ds x= ] y=ys,x= A x= } }, giving, ν + [s, π { exp and so the result follows { A,, s dy exp b X min s A ds [ A, y, s x= A ] b y x= } } y y=, 4 Poisson-Lévy Excursion Measure leading order behaviour We have seen in the previous section that in order to calculate the Poisson-Lévy excursion measure ν + [t, for a general process Xt = X[x, y, t], we require expressions for the following derivatives of the action Ax, y, t Ax, y, t where p = A x=, A Xt A where = the Van Vleck identity, p x= A where by = A x, y, t x= These expressions are evaluated in the following propositions :- Proposition 4 For p = b =, b, A, y, t b y sinh b, as y t Proof Observe that p x y, t = Ax,y,t = initial momentum at x needed to reach y in time t, satisfies du t = x p y, t + b u b x 9
9 Therefore, p y, t satisfies t = du 4 p y, t + b u Changing integration variable u = y v, t = p y,t y + b yv y since to first order V = b and V = by assumption, Therefore, Letting v = p b t = p y p y sinhw we get p, as y, as y p, t + v b, t = b sinh b p, 4 giving, for b, p, t = b sinh b t 43 Note that for b =, we get p, t = ±/t and so equation 4 has the correct limiting behaviour Proposition 5 For b, A, y, t sinh b t, as y b Proof Using the fact that p y = A/ and equation 4 we quickly get p y = p y p y + by Again, changing the variable of integration u = yv, we get du p y + bu 3 p y = p y y p y y by + y p y y 3 + byv y 9
10 Now, following the previous argument, as y, Letting v = p b p y p, t p, t + b sinhw in the above equation gives p + b v 3 p y p + b b p = sinh b t b, sinh b p cosh w dw using p = b sinh b t Proposition 6 For b, we have b A,, t = b + coth b t A is the momentum at y given that y is reached from x in time t Proof From A = p py = y, t + b y, b y A = b y p y + by + by p y p y b y b p b + p b + b p = b as y, b sinh b t + b sinh b t b + sinh b t = b b cosh b t sinh b t 9
11 Therefore { } b y A, y, t b + coth b t, y= and result follows We now come to our main result for excursions from an equilibrium point Theorem For the diffusion X with small noise satisfying dx t = b X t dt + dbt, denote the Poisson-Lévy measure for excursions from by ν ± Assuming b is continuous, b having right and left derivatives at, with b ± and b =, then if V ± = b satisfies V ± β ±, for t π, β ± ν ± [s, k± e k ±t π with k ± = b ± When b ± = the limiting behaviour is correct and yields ν ± [t, π Proof Using Theorem, and the expressions obtained in Propositions 4, 5 and 6, for the derivatives of the action as y, we get as the leading order term for excursions from the stable equilibrium position, dropping ± again for convenience, ν + [s, π s b e dy y exp t sinh b t b b sinh b t y b + coth b t = π e t b b sinh b t cosh b t + sinh b t = π b e t b et b e t b These results correspond to the Poisson-Lévy excursion measures for the examples seen earlier 93
12 5 Poisson-Lévy Excursion Measure higher order behaviour In calculating higher order terms in the Poisson-Lévy excursion measure ν + [s,, we obtain the surprising result that the next order term is identically zero We now write the leading term as ν + Once again we must emphasise the particular dependence of V on and how this requires us to follow a rather complicated route in determining the higher order dependencies on This arises due to our study originating from stochastic mechanics where the Schrödinger equation and operator hold sway Theorem 3 For the diffusion process with small noise, assuming bx for all x, the Poisson-Lévy excursion measure is given by ν + = ν + i e the second order term is identically zero + O 3 Proof - First part For the derivation of the next order term of the Poisson- Levy excursion measure ν + [s, about x =, we must include the second order term in the expression for kernel exp x, y given in Proposition 3 Hence, from Propositions and 3 th ν + [s, π exp ρ y Ax, y, t ρ [exp x= b ] A X min s ds [ + K] dy, y< where K, recall, is a very complicated expression involving the Feynman-Green function 94
13 Therefore, up to order, we have assuming A ν + [s, = π dy exp budu { [ A A, y, t exp x= [ + A A x= x= b X min sds A x= + A A, y, t exp exp + O x= We now use the result Olver [974] Proposition 7 exp = fy exp fy Γ g f gy dy exp exp x= [g y + g y + A, y, t exp b A X min s ds t exp b X min s A, y, t exp b X min s ds A x= ] ds b X min s ds x= K ]} 5! g y + ]dy 5 + Γ 3 g f g + Γ g f 3 f f Proof For a proof of this standard result on asymptotic approximations see Olver [974] Comparing equation 5 with our expression for ν + [s, to second order in equation 5, we get and g y = π { Ax, y, t t exp b Xs ds g y = π A, y, t t exp b Xs ds { t b Xs ds + Ax, y, t Ax, y, t } Ax, y, t, x= K } Ax, y, t x= 95
14 Since we know for x = A = p y, so A = p y >, and A = p y x= x= x= giving A = p y >, we can write the expressions for g y and g y as { p y g y = π t exp and g y = π {, A = p y, } b Xs ds p y x= p y t exp b Xs ds b Xs ds + p y } p y Kp y If we now expand each term in the expression for g y in a Taylor series we get { p g y = π + yp + t exp b Xs ds + y } t b Xs ds + p + yp + y= Therefore, we can now see that in order to obtain the first order expressions for g y and g y, the following terms need to be evaluated :, y= x= p y p y b Xs ds b Xs ds p y b Xs ds Let us be very thankful that an evaluation of K is not needed in this rather complicated computation Each of these terms is evaluated in the following Propositions Recall that we have already seen in equation 43 p = p y = b sinh b t 96
15 Proposition 8 For p = b =, as y, p y = b cosh b t sinh 3 54 b t Proof In order to calculate p y we return to the identity, t = du p y + b u Differentiating the equation above wrt y, and then using the change of variable u = yv, gives dropping some inessential modulus signs for ease of presentation p y = p y p y + b y = p y y p y by + y y p p + b du p y + b u 3 p y y p + b v 3 + byv yv v 3 as y, 55 using the same argument as seen in Proposition 4 Expanding the rhs of equation 55 in a Taylor Series, using for simplicity the notation p = p and b = b, gives p + y p + p + y p + + b + y b + = p + y p + + b + yv 3 b + v + y p p + b b p + y p + p + b p + b v 3 p + y p + p + b + y p + b v 3 3 y + p + b + y p p + b b v 3 p + b v + p p + b b p + b p p + b b v 3 p + b v 5 = zero order term + fy + higher order termsy
16 The zero order term is p p + b p + b v 3 Now the integral term in the equation above can be written as b 3 p 3 + v b Using the change of variable v = p b sinhw in the equation above gives b 3 sinh b p = b p dw sinh b p p p b cosh w b + p b sinh w Therefore, the zero order term is because of equation 43 p p + b dw 3 cosh w = p 3 cosh b t p 3 cosh b t = p The coefficient of y is given by f = p p + b 3 p p + b p + b v 3 + p p p + b b p + b p p + b b v 3 p + b v 5 p + b v 3 Therefore, we have that p = p + yf + = p + yp f + = p yp f 56 Now, by letting p = b a giving a = sinh b t, we can write p f = p + p 3 p p + b b p 3 + a p + a { 3 p 3 p + a p p p a a 3 } + b b p 5 3a + 3a, 3a 4 + a 3 98
17 which simplifies to p f = p + p ab + a 3 p a 3 + a ab 3a 4 + 3a 3a 4 + a Hence, from equation 56 p = p + p ab + a p p + a + 3ab + a 3a 4 + 3a 3a 4 + a, giving = p ab + a + b + a a a a 3 + a b Now since a = b p and p = b sinh b t, and again using the obvious notation s = sinh b t and c = cosh b t, we can write the equation above as = p + b s c + c s 3 + 3s s 3 c Hence, we get the result = p + b s4 s 3 = p + b s 3 = p + b s 3 p + 3s + c c c c4 c + c c 4 + c 3 c c + c3 c + 3c c = b cosh b t sinh 3 b t Proposition 9 As y, p b cosh b t sinh 3 b t = p Proof We begin with t = Differentiating both sides wrt x gives, = px, y du x x du p x, y + b u b x p p bx bx p x, y + b u b x 3 99
18 Therefore, as x = p y + p y p x= du p y + b u 3 Hence, p = x= p y p y + b u 57 3/ du If we consider the quotient term on the rhs of equation 57, with a change of variable u = yv and again letting y, we get rhs = p p + b v 3/ Expanding the denominator of equation 57 in a Taylor series [p =, p ], using the same notation as in the previous Proposition p + y p + p + y p + + b + yv b + v 3 = p + y p p + p + b v + yp p + v 3 b b + 3 = p + y p p + { 3 y p p + v 3 b b } p + b v 3 p + b v Therefore, p = zero order term + fy +, x= where f is the coefficient of the y term as shown below p x= = p + y p p p + b v 3 p + b v 3 3 p p + b b v 3 p + p + b v 5 Inverting this equation gives { p = p y x= p + b v 3 p p p +b v 3 p 3 p p +b v 3 p p +b b v 3 p +b v 5 } 3
19 Now since px, y Comparing y-terms yields = px, x= + y px, x= + x= Letting a = b p, px, = x= p p p +b v 3 p 3 p p +b v 3 p p +b b v 3 p +b v 5 p = x= p p = 3 p p +b b v 3 +a v 3 p 3 +a v 5 p +a v 3 p p + a b b + a p a + Now, substituting for p and p gives the result b b p a + a Remark A by product of the above is Proposition As y, with X min satisfying p y p cosh b t b X min s ds t b Ẍ min s = bx min sb X min s and X min = x, X min t = y Proof For u = X min s, du = Ẋminsds, and considering since, b X min s ds = s b X min s t t + sb X min sẋminsds = t b y + = t b y + tu = x x x sub udu 58 du u du p x, y + b u b x x b u p x, y + b v b x Therefore, the integral term on the rhs of equation 58 as y, and so the result follows recall y > x > 3
20 Proposition b X min s ds b p p x= = b b x= du u p + b v 3 cosh b t sinh b, as y 59 t Proof Using equations 57 and 58, a calculation along the lines of the proof of Theorem 4, using integration by parts, yields y b X min s ds = du p y p u x= x= p y + b v 3 b u b p p du u y=x= p + b v 3 as y and result follows Proposition b Xs ds b p du = b b Proof The proof of this is similar to that of Proposition u p + b v 3 cosh b t sinh b, as y 5 t Proof - Second part Therefore, by substituting equations 43, 54, 57, 59, 5 and Proposition 9 into the expressions obtained for g y and g y, and using Proposition 7, we can complete the proof of Theorem 3 g y π p + p y + exp b X t + y b cosh b t b sinh b + t = π p 3 t b exp y + p y p b b = π p 3 exp t b p + yp + y p + + p p y + Similarly, g y π p t b exp b cosh b t b sinh b + b t b cosh b t sinh b y b p cosh b t t 4 b p sinh b t [y + y p p b cosh b t b sinh b t 3, as y y cosh b t sinh b t + y +
21 Therefore, and g = π p 3 t b exp, g = π p 3 t b exp p p b b cosh b t sinh b t Now, in our case, the expression for fy in Proposition 7 is so Also, since pt = p y + b y, so f y = A, y, t fy = A, y, t f = A,, t f = bu du, budu = budu = p t by = p + b b =, since p =, the momentum required to go from x = to y = p y + b y by, Now, f y = p, y, t b y, so differentiating pt = p y + b y twice with respect to y, and using the fact that b = and pt as y, we get { pt As y, + pt pt } x= = p y + p yp y + b y + byb y 5 p t since p = b =, and p t p t p + b,, as y Hence, p t = p + b x= = b sinh b t + b = b + sinh b t sinh b t = b coth b t Therefore, f y b coth b t b = b coth b t +, 33
22 since we are dealing with bx < Similarly, f y = p, y, t b y Differentiating equation 5 again wrt y gives, { 3 pt 3 pt + 3 pt } pt = 3p yp y + p yp y x= + 3b yb y + byb y And again, since p = b =, and p t as y, we get { p t } p t = p p + b b, y= giving, after a little calculation Therefore, as y, f y = b { } p t = p p + b b b coth b t y= p p + b b b coth b t b cosh b t cosh b tsinh b t 3 sinh b t cosh b t Finally, we conclude the proof of Theorem 3 by substituting into equation 53 to get y ν + [t, = dy exp budu A, y, t g y + g y + dy π p 3 t b exp f { π π + f 3 p 3 t b 4 exp 3 f 6 π 4 f p 3 t b } exp f π + f 3 π p exp t b b cosh b t b sinh b + b t b p p b b cosh b t sinh b t cosh b t sinh b t 34
23 Substituting for p and p eventually gives, using an obvious shorthand notation ν + [t, π p 3 t b exp f + 3 π p 3 t b { [b π c exp f p s 3 b c 4 b s b c s 4 cs 3 ] } s 4 b cs c + s b c + s b c p b + b c s p b s = π p 3 t b t b exp [ π f b c c b s s + + c s c + s + c cs 3 s ] c s = π p 3 t b exp f + p t b exp b b f A tedious calculation shows that the terms within the f + 3 π p exp c s [ ] c s 3 [ ] cancel leaving the result, ν + [t, = π p 3 t b exp f + O 3, b = e b t + O 3 π Acknowledgements The author wishes to thank Aubrey Truman for his crucial input into an earlier joint collaboration concentrating on the leading order behaviour of the Poisson - Lévy excursion measure Davies and Truman [998] I am, as always, indebted to David Williams for his help and never-ending enthusiasm for probability References P Lévy, Processus Stochastiques et Mouvement Brownien, Gauthier Villars, Paris, 954 MR
