Lifetime asymptotics of iterated brownian motion in n
ESAIM: Probability and Statistics, Tome 11 (2007), pp. 147-160.

Let τ D (Z) be the first exit time of iterated brownian motion from a domain D n started at zD and let P z [τ D (Z)>t] be its distribution. In this paper we establish the exact asymptotics of P z [τ D (Z)>t] over bounded domains as an improvement of the results in DeBlassie (2004) [DeBlassie, Ann. Appl. Prob. 14 (2004) 1529-1558] and Nane (2006) [Nane, Stochastic Processes Appl. 116 (2006) 905-916], for zD lim t t -1/2 exp3 2π 2/3 λ D 2/3 t 1/3 P z [τ D (Z)>t]=C(z), where C(z)=(λ D 2 7/2 )/3πψ(z) D ψ(y)dy 2 . Here λ D is the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet laplacian 1 2Δ in D, and ψ is the eigenfunction corresponding to λ D . We also study lifetime asymptotics of brownian-time brownian motion, Z t 1 =z+X(|Y(t)|), where X t and Y t are independent one-dimensional brownian motions, in several unbounded domains. Using these results we obtain partial results for lifetime asymptotics of iterated brownian motion in these unbounded domains.
