Abstract

Joint densities concerning in particular the value and time of the maximum over a fixed time interval, or the behavior over intervals determined by some first- and last-passage times, are determined for Brownian motion, the three-dimensional Bessel process and Brownian meander. Simple change of measure formulas permit easy passage from one process to the other. Examples are given.
