Stopped identities for functions represented by the exit distribution #
Let Q be the continuous-path process of a conservative Feller kernel semigroup and let U be an
open set with exit time tau. A function h is represented by the exit distribution of U
when
h y = E_y[h(X_tau)] for every y of U
(HasExitMeanValueOn). This is the mean-value formulation of harmonicity relative to the
process: it says nothing about smoothness, and it is a statement about h and U alone, not
about the conclusions proved from it below.
Two identities for the stopped process follow, for every deterministic horizon t.
A function represented by the exit distribution is also represented by the stopped position (
integral_eval_exitTimeTrunc_eq_of_hasExitMeanValueOn):E_x[h(X_{t and tau})] = h x. The proof splits the path space at the survival event{t < tau}. Off it the stopped position is already the exit position. On it the stopped position isX_t, where the representation is available becauseX_tlies inU; the restricted Markov property at the deterministic timetthen rewrites the resulting restarted expectation as the expectation of the exit value of the shifted path, and shifting does not move the exit position once the exit time is finite.Subtracting a multiple of the expected exit time
w y = E_y[tau]produces the second stopped identity (integral_eval_exitTimeTrunc_eq_add_of_hasExitMeanValueOn): ifu = h - sigma * w, thenE_x[u(X_{t and tau})] = u x + sigma * E_x[t and tau]. The whole content of the second identity beyond the first is the remaining-exit-time identity ofStoppedDirichlet.lean, whose proof needs no generator either. The expected stopped time is also written with the horizon exposed,E_x[t and tau] = t - E_x[(t - tau) on {tau <= t}].
Neither identity refers to a generator or to a domain of one. What must be supplied from the
analytic side is exactly the hypothesis HasExitMeanValueOn: that the continuous representative
of the Dirichlet solution with the given boundary values is reproduced by the exit distribution of
the domain.
A function is represented by the exit distribution of U when, from every starting point of
U, its value is the expectation of its value at the exit position.

Instances For
A function represented by the exit distribution is represented by the stopped position.
For every deterministic horizon, the expectation of the function at the position stopped on
leaving U is its value at the starting point.
The stopped identity for a function with a remaining-time correction. If u is the
difference of a function represented by the exit distribution and a multiple of the expected exit
time, then the expectation of u at the stopped position exceeds its value at the starting point
by the same multiple of the expected stopped time.
The expected stopped time with the horizon exposed: it is the horizon less the expected shortfall on the event that the exit has already occurred.
