Abstract
Let be the first exit time of iterated Brownian motion from a domain started at and let be its distribution. In this paper we establish the exact asymptotics of 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 where . Here λD is the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian in D, and ψ is the eigenfunction corresponding to λD. We also study lifetime asymptotics of Brownian-time Brownian motion, , where Xt and Yt 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.
