What is a Brownian motion? State the reflection principle for Brownian motion.
Let W=(Wt)t⩾0 be a Brownian motion. Let M=max0⩽t⩽1Wt. Prove
P(M⩾x,W1⩽x−y)=P(M⩾x,W1⩾x+y)
for all x,y⩾0. Hence, show that the random variables M and ∣W1∣ have the same distribution.
Find the density function of the random variable R=W1/M.
