of this article is to give a more explicit formula for P(Mt < x) and simple sharp
bounds for P(Mt < x) in terms of the Lévy–Khintchin exponent (ξ ) for a class
of Lévy processes. Most estimates of the cumulative distribution function of Mt
are proved for very general Lévy processes, without symmetry assumptions.
Let τx denote the first passage time through a barrier at the level x for the pro-
cess Xt ,
τx = inf{t ≥ 0 : Xt ≥ x}, x ≥ 0,
with the infimum understood to be infinity when the set is empty. We always as-
sume that X0 = 0. Since P(Mt < x) = P(τx > t), the problems of finding the cu-
mulative distribution functions of Mt and τx are the same. The supremum func-
tional and first passage time statistics are important in various areas of applied
probability [1, 2], as well as in mathematical physics [21, 26]. The recent progress
in the potential theory of Lévy processes is, in part, due to the application of fluc-
tuation theory; see [9, 10, 18, 22–25].
The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 contains some preliminary material
related to Bernstein functions, Stieltjes functions and estimates for the Laplace
transform. In Section 3 (Theorem 3.1 and Corollary 3.2) we prove, under mild
assumptions, the estimate
P(Mt < x) ≈ min 1, κ(1/t, 0)V (x) , t, x > 0,
where V (x) and κ(z, 0) are the renewal function for the ascending ladder-height
process, and the Laplace exponent of the the ascending ladder-time process cor-
responding to Xt , respectively. Here f (x) ≈ g(x) means that there are constants
c1 , c2 > 0 such that c1 g(x) ≤ f (x) ≤ c2 g(x). In Section 4 we show that in the
symmetric case, given some regularity of (ξ ), we have
1
V (x) ≈ √ , x > 0;
(1/x)
see Theorem 4.4. Therefore the estimate of the above cumulative distribution func-
tion of Mt takes a very explicit form,
1
P(Mt < x) ≈ min 1, √ , t, x > 0.
t(1/x)
The other main result of Section 4 is an explicit formula for the (single, in the
space variable) Laplace transform of the distribution of Mt (Theorem 4.1), under
the assumption that Xt is symmetric and (ξ ) is increasing on [0, ∞).
When (ξ ) = ψ(ξ 2 ) for a complete Bernstein function ψ(ξ ), the above results
can be significantly improved. Following the approach of [30], a (rather compli-
cated) explicit formula for P(Mt < x) can be given, and estimates and asymptotic
formulae for P(Mt < x) extend to (d/dt)n P(Mt < x) when x is small or t is large.
These results will be covered in a forthcoming paper.

2. Preliminaries.
P ROPOSITION 2.1. If ψ(ξ ) is nonnegative on (0, ∞), and both ψ(ξ ) and
ξ/ψ(ξ ) are increasing on (0, ∞), then
(2.6) e−2C /π ψ(ξ 2 ) ≤ ψ † (ξ ) ≤ e2C /π ψ(ξ 2 ),
2.2. Estimates for the Laplace transform. This short section contains some
rather standard estimates for the inverse Laplace transform.

This is a partial inverse of the double Laplace transform in (1.1); however, there is
no known explicit formula for V z (x). For a different and, in a sense, more explicit
partial inverse, see (4.2) below.
By [5], Section VI.4, the Laplace transform of V z (x) is 1/(ξ κ(z, ξ )). Hence,
when Xt is symmetric and it is not a compound Poisson process, the right-hand
√
side of the Baxter–Donsker formula (1.1) can be written as z/(zκ(z, ξ )); see
[14], Corollary 9.7.
P ROOF. The upper bound in (3.5) is a direct consequence of (3.2) and Propo-
sition 2.4 with ξ = 1/t.
Following [5], Lemma VI.21, we find a lower bound for V z (x). We have

the interval [tκ(1/t, 0), ∞). Furthermore, κ(z, 0) is increasing, so that K(z) ≥
e2
κ(z, 0)/z. In particular, ε(e−1) K(1/t) > K(1/t) ≥ tκ(1/t, 0). It follows that we
can choose z = z(t) < 1/t such that
κ(z, 0) e2
= K(1/t).
z ε(e − 1)
Setting k = zt < 1, the above equality can be rewritten as
e2 zK(z/k)
(3.8) = ε.
e − 1 κ(z, 0)
Suppose now that V (x)κ(z, 0) ≤ ε(e − 1)/e. Then, by the upper bound of (3.5),
we have P(M1/z ≥ x) = 1 − P(M1/z < x) ≥ 1 − ε. This, (3.7) and (3.8) give
V (x)κ(z, 0)
P(Mt < x) = P(Mk/z < x) ≥ (1 − 2ε).
e
This estimate holds for t ≥ t0 , where V (x)κ(z(t0 ), 0) = ε(e − 1)/e [here we use
continuity of κ(z(t), 0) as a function of t]. Hence, by monotonicity of P(Mt < x)
in t,
ε(1 − 2ε)(e − 1) (1 − 2ε)V (x)κ(z, 0)
P(Mt < x) ≥ min , .
e2 e
The lower bound in (3.5) follows by taking ε = 1/4 and using the inequality
κ(z, 0) = κ(k/t, 0) ≥ kκ(1/t, 0).
To formulate the next result we define the following upper scaling conditions:
κ(z2 , 0) z
for some ∈ (0, 1) and c > 0, ≤ c 2
κ(z1 , 0) z1
(3.9)
when 0 < z1 < z2 < 1,
κ(z2 , 0) z
for some ∈ (0, 1) and c > 0, ≤ c 2
κ(z1 , 0) z1
(3.10)
when 1 < z1 < z2 .
Observe that condition (3.10) implies that for any z∗ > 0, there is c∗ such that
κ(z2 , 0) z
(3.11) ≤ c∗ 2 when z∗ < z1 < z2 .
κ(z1 , 0) z1
for every x > 0 and t ≥ 1. If κ(z, 0) satisfies (3.10) with 0 < < 1 and
limz→0 z/κ(z, 0) = 0, then (3.12) holds for x > 0 and t ≤ 1.
In particular, if κ(z, 0) satisfies both (3.9) and (3.10), that is, there are c > 0
and ∈ (0, 1) such that κ(λz, 0) ≤ cλ κ(z, 0) for λ ≥ 1 and z > 0, then (3.12) is
true for every x > 0 and t > 0.
P ROOF. We begin with the first part of the statement. By condition (3.9),
z
κ(z, 0) ≤ c1 (κ) κ(s, 0), s ≤ z ≤ 1.
s
In particular,
κ(s, 0)/s is unbounded. Furthermore, using also finiteness of the
integral 1∞ κ(z, 0)z−2 dz, we obtain
κ(s, 0)
(3.13) K(s) ≤ c2 (κ) , s ≤ 1.
s
This implies that the assumptions of Theorem 3.1 are satisfied.
Let t ≥ 1 and define z = z(t) ∈ (0, 1/t) as in Theorem 3.1. By condition (3.9)
we have
κ(1/t, 0) c3 (κ)
≤ .
κ(z, 0) (zt)
By definition of z and (3.13) (with s = 1/t), we have
R EMARK 3.3. Due to Potter’s theorem ([8], Theorem 1.5.6) condition (3.9)
is implied by regular variation of κ(z, 0) at zero with index 0 < ∗ < 1. Likewise,
SUPREMA OF LÉVY PROCESSES 2057
By the results of [5], Theorem VI.14 and [6], the regular variation of order
∈ (0, 1) of κ(z, 0) at 0 or at ∞ is equivalent to the existence of the limit of
P(Xt ≥ 0) as t → ∞ or t → 0+ , respectively. Hence, Corollary 3.2 implies the
following result.
P ROOF. We only need to verify that κ(z, 0)/z2 is integrable at infinity, and
that limz→0+ (z/κ(z, 0)) = 0. In each of the cases, there is ε > 0 such that P(Xt ≥
0) ≤ 1 − ε for all t > 0. Therefore, by (3.1) and the Frullani integral, κ(z, 0) ≤ z1−ε
for z ≥ 1, and κ(z, 0) ≥ z1−ε when 0 < z < 1. The result follows.
R EMARK 3.5. The uniform estimates of Corollary 3.4 complement the exist-
ing results from [17] about the asymptotic behavior of P(Mt < x), where it was
shown that
√
π
lim P(Mt < x) = V (x),
t→∞ κ(1/t, 0)
under the assumption that κ(z, 0) is regularly varying at zero with index ∈ (0, 1).
Since P(Mt < x) = P(τx > t), the following integrated form of (4.1) is some-
times more convenient.
Hence, for any ξ > 0, ϕ(ξ, z) [and even (ϕ(ξ, z))2 ] is a complete Bernstein func-
tion of z. Note that the continuous boundary limit ϕ + (ξ, −z) exists for z > 0: if

By (1.1), ϕ(ξ, z)/z is the double Laplace transform of the distribution of Mt .
But for all ξ > 0, ϕ(ξ, z)/z is a Stieltjes function of z. Therefore, by (2.2),

Let V (x) = V 0 (x) be the renewal function for the ascending ladder-height pro-
cess Hs corresponding to Xt ; see Section 3 for the definition. When Xt satisfies
the absolute continuity condition [e.g., if 1/(1 + (ξ )) is integrable in ξ ], then
V (x) is the (unique up to a multiplicative constant) increasing harmonic function
for Xt on (0, ∞), and V (x) is the decreasing harmonic function for Xt on (0, ∞);
cf. [35]. It is known ([5], formula (VI.6)) that for ξ > 0,

LV (ξ ) = ,
ξ κ(0, ξ )
Moreover, if Xt is not a compound Poisson process, then by [14], Corollary 9.7,

π 0 ξ2 + ζ2
where (ξ ) = ψ(ξ 2 ); see (2.3) for the notation. Clearly, we have LV (ξ ) =
ξ LV (ξ ) = 1/ψ † (ξ ); here V is the distributional derivative of V on [0, ∞). We
remark that when Xt is a compound Poisson process, then, also by [14], Corol-

For simplicity, we state the next three results only for the case when Xt is not a
compound Poisson process. However, extensions for compound Poisson processes
are straightforward due to (4.4).
As an immediate consequence of Proposition 2.1 and Karamata’s Tauberian
theorem ([8], Theorem 1.7.1), we obtain the following result, which in the case of
complete Bernstein functions was derived in Proposition 2.7 of [22].
as desired.
Note that for a compound Poisson process, we have a > 0, so there is an extra
positive constant in (4.5).
As a combination of Theorem 3.1 and Theorem 4.4, we obtain the following
result.
P ROOF. When Xt is not a compound Poisson process, then the result follows
√
from Theorems 3.1 and 4.4, and from κ(z, 0) = z. Suppose that Xt is a com-
pound Poisson process. For ε > 0 consider Xtε = εBt + Xt , where the Brown-
ian motion Bt is independent of Xt . Then the Lévy–Khintchin exponent of Xtε
equals to ε (ξ ) = (εξ )2 + (ξ ). It is easy to check that ξ 2 /ε (ξ ) is increasing.
Moreover, Mtε converges in distribution to Mt as ε → 0. The result follows by the
continuity of (ξ ).

R EMARK 4.7. Clearly, the condition “(ξ ) and ξ 2 /(ξ ) are increasing in
ξ > 0,” in Theorem 4.4, Proposition 4.3 and Theorem 4.6, can be replaced with
2(ξ )
(4.7) 0 < (ξ ) < , ξ > 0.
ξ
If (ξ ) = ψ(ξ 2 ), then (4.7) reads
ψ(ξ )
(4.8) 0 < ψ (ξ ) < , ξ > 0.
ξ
Using the standard representation of Bernstein functions, it is easy to check that
any Bernstein function ψ(ξ ) (not necessarily a complete one) satisfies (4.8).
Hence, Theorem 4.6 applies to any subordinate Brownian motion: a process
Xt = Bηt , where B(s) is the standard Brownian motion [with E(Bs ) = 0 and
Var(Bs ) = 2s], ηt is a subordinator [with E(e−ξ ηt ) = e−tψ(ξ ) ], and Bs and ηt are
independent processes.
