Abstract

Let Qt=(xt,yt) be a two-dimensional geometric Brownian motion which is possibly correlated starting at (x,y) in the positive quadrant, and let [tau] be an -stopping time generated by the process Qt. Under certain conditions, we prove that where [Phi] is a bounded Borel function, C>0, [mu]>1, n>1 are constants and g* is an explicit bound for a solution of a certain second order ordinary differential equation. The present result extends and supplements the explicit upper bound in Hu and Øksendal (1998).
