3 1. Lower tail probabilities Let {X t, t T} be a real valued Gaussian process indexed by T with E X t = 0. Lower tail probability refers to ) P supx t X t0 ) x t T as x 0, t 0 T or Examples: ) P sup X t x t T a) Capture time of Brownian pursuits b) Random polynomials as T
4 Li and Shao 2004): Established a general result for the lower tail probability of non-stationary Gaussian process ) P supx t X t0 ) x t T as x 0,
5 Special cases: Let {Xt), t [0, 1] d } be a centered Gaussian process with X0) = 0 and stationary increments, that is t, s [0, 1] d, E X t X s ) 2 = σ 2 t s ). If there are 0 < α β < 1 such that σh)/h α, σh)/h β Then there exist 0 < c 1 c 2 < such that for 0 < x < 1/2 c 2 ln 1 ) x ln P sup Xt) σx) c 1 ln 1 t [0,1] d x.
6 Special cases: Let {Xt), t [0, 1] d } be a centered Gaussian process with X0) = 0 and stationary increments, that is t, s [0, 1] d, E X t X s ) 2 = σ 2 t s ). If there are 0 < α β < 1 such that σh)/h α, σh)/h β Then there exist 0 < c 1 c 2 < such that for 0 < x < 1/2 c 2 ln 1 ) x ln P sup Xt) σx) c 1 ln 1 t [0,1] d x. In particular, for the fractional Levy s Brownian motion L α t) of order α, i.e. L α 0) = 0 and E L α t) L α s)) 2 = t s 2α, ) ln P sup L α t) x ln 1 t [0,1] d x.

In particular, for d-dimensional fractional Brownian sheet B α t) i.e., σh) = h α ) ) ln P sup B α t) x ln d 1 t [0,1] d x

12 2. Capture time of Brownian pursuits Let B 0, B 1,, B n be independent standard Brownian motions. Define { } τ n = inf t > 0 : max B kt) = B 0 t) k n When is E τ n ) finite? Note that for any a > 0, by Brownian scaling, Pτ n > t) = P max = P 1 k n max 1 k n ) sup B k s) B 0 s)) < 1 0 s t sup B k s) B 0 s)) < t 1/2). 0 s 1 Thus, the estimate is reduced to a lower tail probability problem.

Put { } τ n := τ n,α = inf t > 0 : max B k,αt) = B 0,α t) k n Let and X k,α t) = e tα B k,α e t ), k = 0, 1,, n 1 γ n,α := lim T T ln P sup 0 t T ) max X k,αt) 0 1 k n
