Abstract

In this paper we present the distribution of the maximum of the asymmetric telegraph process in an arbitrary time interval [0,t] under the conditions that the initial velocity V(0) is either c1 or −c2 and the number of changes of direction is odd or even. For the case V(0)=−c2 the singular component of the distribution of the maximum displays an unexpected cyclic behavior and depends only on c1 and c2, but not on the current time t. We obtain also the unconditional distribution of the maximum for either V(0)=c1 or V(0)=−c2 and its expression has the form of series of Bessel functions. We also show that all the conditional distributions emerging in this analysis are governed by generalized Euler–Poisson–Darboux equations. We recover all the distributions of the maximum of the symmetric telegraph process as particular cases of the present paper.
