Abstract

We consider a d-dimensional Brownian motion in Rd with drift. The explicit expressions are obtained for the joint density of the hitting time and place to a sphere, when the process starts either from the inside the sphere or from the out of sphere.

Keywords: Brownian motion with drift, hitting time, hitting place, Joint density..
