Abstract

Let [zeta]t, t[greater-or-equal, slanted]0, be a process taking nonnegative values, Tr=inf{t>0;[zeta]t>r}, r>0, and [psi] a nondecreasing function. An interesting question is: Is it possible to bound E[psi](Tr) above and below by expectations of functions of [zeta]t? We answer this question and give the desired upper and lower bounds.
