Abstract

In this paper excursions of a stationary diffusion in stationary state are studied. In particular, we compute the joint distribution of the occupation times I(+)t and I(-)t above and below, respectively, the observed level at time t during an excursion. We consider also the starting time gt and the ending time dt of the excursion (straddling t) and discuss their relations to the Levy measure of the inverse local time. It is seen that the pairs (I(+)t, I(-)t) and (t-gt, dt-t) are identically distributed. Moreover, conditionally on I(+)t + I(-)t =v, the variables I(+)t and I(-)t are uniformly distributed on (0,v). Using the theory of the Palm measures, we derive an analoguous result for excursion bridges.
