Dual representations of Laplace transforms of Brownian excursion and generalized meanders. (English) Zbl 1391.60180
Summary: The Laplace transform of the $$d$$-dimensional distribution of Brownian excursion is expressed as the Laplace transform of the $$(d + 1)$$-dimensional distribution of an auxiliary Markov process, started from a $$\sigma$$-finite measure and with the roles of arguments and times interchanged. A similar identity holds for the Laplace transform of a generalized Brownian meander, which is expressed as the Laplace transform of the same auxiliary Markov process, with a different initial law.
