Beta variables as times spent in \([0, \infty[\) by certain perturbed Brownian motions. (English) Zbl 0924.60067

We show that the time spent in \([0, +\infty)\) by certain processes \(Y\) which are defined by perturbations of Brownian motion involving reflection at maxima and minima, are beta distributed. This result relies heavily on Ray-Knight theorems for such perturbed Brownian motions.
